Why does it have to be all or nothing about Trump? Why, in the eyes of many here, can no one criticize anything Trump does without being attacked as a flaming left-winger opposed to everything that Trump does?

Because it's called "partisan politics"...and it's as rampant among the private sector as it is throughout the halls of Congress. No doubt you've seen the most nauseating display of it, whenever our president gives a state-of-the-union address...and half the politicos in the audience stand and applaud everything he says, while the other half remain morose in their seats...as if they are at a funeral. I see this and I get sick to my stomach at the thought that those imposters are all playing games with each other...all at the expense of the much-maligned citizen. And it happens with us voters too...often without us fully comprehending that it's taking place. We are given two unworthy voting options in every election, and we readily admit at the start that we are forced to choose the "best of two evils"...but a funny thing happens when our "evil of choice" emerges victorious. We allow ourselves to become overtaken by our "political partisanship"...and become totally oblivious to our new "leader's" obvious shortcomings. What a few months ago was the "best of two evils" suddenly becomes the "Messiah"...who can do or say no wrong, as far as we are concerned. And we lambaste the "other side" of the citizenry, who don't "stand in unison" with our new president...even though we know full well that we ourselves didn't support the PRIOR president...whom we'd criticized just as much as the "other side" is now criticizing our new one. And this "political partisanship" overcomes the "other side" too, to the extent where they become totally blinded to whatever "benefit" may come as a result of the actions of our new president. Equal blindness for all.
We argue and fight with one another, without realizing that we are all victims of a gigantic hoax...meant to distract us until the next election...when the establishment will supply us with two more unworthy choices...so that this sad scenario could repeat itself yet again. But don't despair...because things will surely be different next time. The establishment is working on next election's rhetoric...as we speak.
