Hurricanes don't engender hatred

Dan Harris and Sam Harris, in conversation on the podcast Making Sense, discuss how we can feel compassion for Trump if you disagree with his policies and actions. Sam Harris says that even though a hurricane is demonstrably destructive, we don’t hate the hurricane; it is only doing that which is expected. We are aware of the destruction that hurricanes create, and we may hate the results of the hurricane. Thinking about Trump this way makes handling the chaos he creates a bit easier. Dropping the hate for Trump means he occupies less space in our head.
