But I never wanted any harm to come to him. I just wanted him to stop being president.

I think the Republican Party currently has a huge sense of entitlement. They don't care about Democracy - evidenced by how they tried to suppress the vote, but also by how they seem to think they're entitled to hold office or do what they want in spite of the American people. Rick Snyder's latest stunt in Michigan is more evidence of this.

I think entitlement, coupled with the racism others have mentioned, does this.
