For many of us, feelings can run deep--more so on some issues than others. It's so easy to be angry, and for some of us, convictions set in while others might mellow. Despite how we feel, there are times when we might act contrary to how we feel.
To illustrate, there are people that genuinely despise the police, as easily gleaned by their choice words they flower about, yet amidst our hard core persona and occasional vile thoughts of what we'd like to see, there's a side to many people (save those so otherwise entrenched in their convictions) that would set aside their animosity and help them in circumstances where they might be in a time of need.
To give another example, there might be a person that you absolutely can't stand and have awful thoughts when your mind has time to wonder, yet in the moment where he or she might need some assistance, some can muster an about face and be of assistance.
Many people (mostly of the minority leftist bent) have voiced some not so nice things about Trump, not much unlike many people (mostly of the majority rightist bent) voiced some not so kind words about obama. Many of those on the right that had hate in their heart for obama would have came in support if specifically called by name to do so, much like how a cop hater would stand in support and defense of one if asked.
I realize some of you aren't US citizens, but to not exclude you, suppose you are. Is there a side to you (and I'm speaking predominantly to those with a bent pointing left) that would feel a sense of duty to be of assistance to your president Trump if specifically called upon?
I know that for some of you (and how few, no clue) that [helping Trump] will depend, but that as an answer doesn't quite cut it. Even for many on the right, for them too [helping obama] it may depend--but for fewer of them it will depend--not because of who the president is [or was] but rather which side (left or right) the potential helper is on.
I'm suspecting (and with a ceterus parabus between dislike of president) that the left will have more, "it depends" and less answering to the call than those on the right. Now, when it comes to Trump, it's already a given that he's disfavored by the left, so I can't readily compare reactions fairly, yet if you can imagine a president where the tables were turned such he was despised by the right of the same degree (and favored by the left) --mimicking a counter balance to Trump, then when comparing apples to apples, there is something about the make up of the people on the left versus the right that predict which side would be more apt to tap into their other side when faced with a president that is out of favor.
Anyhoots, is your dislike for Trump so great that you could (or could not) in good conscious step up if called upon to do so?
