I've tried asking anti Trump people this question, but I never get a clear answer.
What exactly has Trump said or done that makes it ok for anyone to wish for his death? What did Trump do to you personally that you wish his suffers and dies?
I even hear people say they are happy that the First Lady is sick also. Why is there sooo much hate for Trump and his family? It's really is sickening that President Trump's illness puts a smile on some people's faces. I don't get it, and I'm losing more faith in humanity every single day.
It’s because over time their identity has become more and more wrapped up with the idea that the orange man is bad. If they were to come out and say orange man is actually good, it would mean admitting they’ve been wrong about pretty much everything for five years. It would mean admitting that they aren’t the smart ones, they aren’t the good guys, they aren’t on the “right side of history”. It would mean they’re wrong about who’s racist, wrong about who’s sexist, wrong about who’s smart. They can’t admit Trump is great not because of anything about Trump, but because of what it would say to them about themselves.
