If there's anything that we learned from this election season, it's that people don't like to be opposed. Even more than that, they don't like to be opposed by the government. So far, the WH has set a good precedent at being at odds with the American people and reality. Trump is calling his critics "his enemies," and Sean Spicer is claiming complete falsehoods. As deluded and aggravating as the MAGA crowd is, they are a astonishing minority.
I get the feeling from seeing reactions online from regretful Trump supporters, approval numbers, and inauguration turnout that the majority of people don't like Trump. It was easy to ignore at first, and brush it off as liberal propaganda. As more data comes out, it seems like more moderate, silent people are starting to dissent. The anti-Trump base is probably more diverse and numerous than we think it is. It is a majority of America, if voting numbers and approval ratings are to be believed. When the majority of the country is attacked by their government, there is no way that things can suddenly become better. Realistically, this contentious relationship Trump has with the people will continue, since his opponents will only grow in number as his outlandish government continues to do outlandish things. When such conditions are met, it's easy for group polarization to continue further, making both groups more entrenched in their opinions and mutual disgust.
Putting a majority of the country in this position can only end badly.
