30. I am so grateful that I've appreciated him

since I first saw him give that extraordinary speech at the democratic national convention. I've had his back since then and will continue having his back. I enjoy telling people how much I respect and admire him and his family and administration.

Haters who drink the haterade - it only poisons them. I'm glad I'm not poisoned. I can appreciate his extraordinary talents and his championing of progressive causes.

I've met so many extraordinary people here in this group and offline too, who proudly stand up against the hatred and are proud to say they like him. It's a good feeling, flying in the face of pessimism and easy cynicism. It's actually really easy to love. This entire outlook has had a positive effect on me in profound personal ways as well.
