What "colors" people's perception of Trump are misogynistic and racist statements, actions which show contempt for the rule of law, and foreign policy decisions which both sides can agree are ill informed and precipitous.
If this were a fact check site, BFritz's post would earn four red herrings.
Agreed, and we are really getting into different sides of the same coin. Biases can lead people to have irrational criticisms of someone, and the same sort of biases can cause their supporters to see all criticisms of the person as irrational. Both exist on both sides of the aisle, and in this forum. It's good times.
