I think you have it exactly backwards - that the people who hate him just in and of himself do so for very good reason - because he’s a foul, self-absorbed, sociopathic serial liar, manupulator and rapist - and that it’s the people who ignore the plain truth about him and grant him respect he doesn’t deserve who are motivated by their own weakness.
I sincerely expect future historians (if there are any) to have a specific name for this particular period in American history - something like “The idiot Age” or “The Faceplant Years.”
