    Yes, from the comments I see sentiments like the rich and Trump fans are not people. Just dehumanize your opponents and everything is permissible.

      They are people. They’ve simply forgotten that we are people too, equal to them in every way except the size of our bank accounts.

      As for the Trump supporters, I understand why they supported him in 2016. I struggle to see why they still do after what he’s done since, ie: lowered taxes for the rich again.

      Not dehumanizing them, taking away their private citizen status, because it’s right in the title “Public Official”.
