Obama

Obama

I trusted Obama.  His intelligence, compassion and humility convinced me.  I fully believed that whatever the issue, he was well-equipped to look at the ideas, consult with the smartest and most experienced people, and solve the problems the best he could.  Because of the way he did things, I took his mistakes, errors or misunderstandings to be bumps on the road of progress. 

It’s scary to admit, but I relate to the Trump believers.  Their unquestioning faith in Trump, despite his lies and equivocations, is not that different from my belief in Obama.  Is there a way back to a shared constructed reality where we can disagree about what to do about problems we can all see?
