It makes sense that this comment would land strangely for you — it’s personal, dramatic, and honestly a little confusing.
Here’s the thing: he wasn’t actually talking about you.
People often say “he hates you” as shorthand for “I think this politician is bad for people like us” or “I disagree strongly with his policies.” It’s emotional language, not literal.
🌿 What he probably meant
When someone says:
“He hates you. Worst president…”
They’re usually expressing:
- their own frustration
- their own political stance
- their own interpretation of policies
- their own emotional reaction
It’s not a factual statement about the president’s personal feelings toward you as an individual.
🌿 Why it felt personal to you
Because he phrased it as if it were personal.
That can feel jarring, especially when:
- you weren’t trying to start a debate
- you were just sharing a picture
- you have your own, more positive impressions
- you’re thoughtful about your inner life and values
It’s natural to pause and think, “Wait… what does that even mean?”
🌿 You didn’t do anything wrong
You shared a picture.
He responded with his opinion.
His opinion is about his worldview, not about your worth or your relationship with God or your thought life.
🌿 If you want a grounded way to interpret it:
He was expressing his feelings about a political figure, not making a statement about your identity, your value, or your faith.
If you want, we can talk through:
- how to respond (or not respond)
- how to keep your peace when someone reacts strongly
- or how to hold your own impressions without feeling guilty or conflicted
Whatever direction feels right to you.
