To be fair, I know a lot of Republican supporters who treated him as the lesser of two evils rather than a candidate they really wanted. Granted, plenty also treated him like the messiah, spamming pictures of him standing on a American flag coloured tank with a machine gun wielding eagle flying over him, but I think there was always a bit more of a split opinion about the guy than most more traditional Republican candidate.
The people posting the tank pictures really should be outraged right now - and the people on the Left who have been freaked out about the guy should be taking a step back and even lightly clapping rather than taking this as an opportunity to rub salt in the partisan wound. Whenever you wonder why our country is such a partisan shit show, if you have taken something like this whole Dreamer thing as an opportunity to gloat, well, look in the mirror for your answer - because you're a partisan shit show.
