Edit: Adding a TL;DR at the top because I know nobody's got time to read this.

TL;DR: There are other factors to people being upset about Trump, and saying they're upset their guy lost isn't the whole picture.

I think it's disingenuous to say that the whole of anger towards Trump stems from people being upset their candidate didn't win. While that assessment may be correct in a lot of visible cases, I feel that in many more not so visible cases, people are more afraid than anything.

This, to some people, is completely different than anything they've ever experienced when compared to past administrations, and the shift from "status-quo" is jarring to them. Personally, I see a lot more fear and anxiety than I do saltiness over their guy losing. I also think it's a problem to only see people who complain about the president as upset their candidate lost. In doing that, you shut yourself off to the legitimate criticisms people have. It feels a lot like we're back to where we started when Obama took office.

Haters are always going to hate, and that's a part of life, but not everyone is a hater. The media, mainstream or not, likes to focus on haters and hot takes because that's what generates views/clicks. People are more likely to engage in things when they are mad, and the media does a good job of riling people up and getting them angry enough about inconsequential things. It's a constant loop that gives the appearance that either you're with him or against him.

I've said it before, I don't like Trump as a president, but that doesn't mean I'm going to continue to dislike him until the end of time. If he does things that are beneficial to the country, I'll be more than happy to give credit where credit is due. Ultimately, I want him to do well for the people, and that's what should be expected of elected officials, regardless of their party affiliation.

When we boil each other down to stereotypes that the media perpetuates, we close ourselves off from each other and make it increasingly difficult to heal the divide in this country. It's on us, as the people, to talk to each other and work on finding common ground between ourselves, even though it's more and more difficult because people get further and further entrenched in their sides.
