My daughter and son in law (sil) are middle of the road, maybe even conservative leaning. But they hate Trump, especially my aeronautical engineer sil, hate hate HATES him with a passion. We had such a big fight about it once (he'd been drinking and wouldn't drop it) that I have to refuse to even discuss politics with him at all.
They're staying with me right now while they look for a house. Tonight we all took our dogs outside before bed and he walked over and stood beside me. Looking around the yard, he quietly (sadly?) said "I find myself missing Trump". I was stunned and said nothing. He turned and walked slowly into the house.
I.......I can't EVEN.
You're right, but they're also right that people have been specifically cultivated to blame other people.
Everyone was pitted against whites, for example, which naturally makes whites fight back or have bad experiences that turn them into "learned racists", people who wouldn't have been racist but after seeing the rioting for criminals / treating people like trash / getting hit by a brick / etc. are now racistd
