Apathetic is also a way to describe it.

They are apathetic because neither side actually represents anyone.

No one can honestly look at what their party has done. Not words, actions. No one is willing to actually own that. So people are sitting at home until something good comes along.

There is certainly something to taking the high the road, which unfortunately he doesn’t do anywhere near enough of IMO. He also should not concern himself with people who are below him and critical of him. When you are POTUS why give a **** about what Meryl Streep says at the Golden Globes?

That isn't his style. He has to be in the spot light, it doesn't matter if negative or positive. If it would get him one second of TV time he would beat who ever is reading this to death.
He is a pathological liar.

So hate crimes have increased, along with reporting numbers.

a crime, typically one involving violence, that is motivated by prejudice on the basis of race, religion, sexual orientation, or other grounds.
I stole it from WIki. seemed like a fair description.

The increase in reported crimes almost mirror the increase in participating agencies so my guess is that hate crime incidents haven't really increased much. They were always there just now more agencies are reporting.

Apparently the media, and their programmers and prodders ... largely determined on whether the villain is suspected to be a white guy. Hate crimes against straight white males doesn't exist, so that helps them narrow things down.

This ACA timeline illustrates how the health law has been changed since Trump took office - MedCity News
Jan. 20, 2017:
On his first day in office, Trump issues an executive order to “minimize the unwarranted economic and regulatory burdens” of the health law. It includes instructions to agencies to “exercise all authority and discretion available to them to waive, defer, grant exemptions from, or delay the implementation of any provision or requirement of the Act that would impose a fiscal burden.”
Jan. 26, 2017:
HHS officials abruptly pull funding for outreach and advertising for the last days of 2017 enrollment. That is usually when healthier people traditionally enroll.
Feb. 14, 2017:
Reversing an Obama administration plan, the Internal Revenue Service says it won’t start rejecting returns that don’t indicate whether a taxpayer had health insurance.
Feb. 15, 2017:
The Trump administration proposes new rules, backed by the insurance industry, cutting the 2018 open enrollment period in half and making it more difficult for people to buy insurance outside that six-week window.
March 13, 2017:
The Congressional Budget Office estimates the GOP bill would result in an additional 24 million people being without insurance by 2026. It also predicts that premiums would go down for younger people and rise dramatically for older people under changes envisioned in the bill.
June 6, 2017:
The uncertainty about the fate of the ACA is having an impact on the market. Anthem pulls out of Ohio, becoming just the latest in a long list that included Humana, Aetna, Wellmark in Iowa and Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Kansas City.

There's more, I got tired of cutting and pasting.
