The vitriol presently directed at President Trump and his family is just a mirror image of the vitriol that was directed at President Obama and his wife Michelle. We can be opposed to the policies of those who disagree with us, but what we have now is directed toward persons and their identities. Conservatives never could get beyond the fact that President Obama was a Black man, despite his being raised in a Caucasian family, graduating from Punahou School and initially putting out his hand to them to work with him. The Kennedys were as wealthy as the Trumps, but they were not criticized by the press for their wealth. The Democratic elite is as race / ethnicity conscious as the Republicans. The agenda of both parties should be to generate policies which will lift up all those of those in need regardless of their race, ethnicity, gender, age, religious beliefs sexual orientation, etc.
