I think one possibility is that being frum today is incompatible with the perceived liberal obsession with feelings. Maybe this is different in the chassidishe velt (I can only speak to my own experience in the yeshivishe velt), but frum lives focus on action. We judge each other by our actions and believe Hashem will do the same achar meah ve-esrim. The liberal world has moved in the other direction – you can change your gender if that’s the way you feel, you can be label someone a racist if you feel they channeled micro-aggressions toward you, and your bad behavior can be excused due to things like difficult childhoods and historical crimes against you or your people. (FWIW, as a liberal, I hold these positions and can advocate for them any day, but that’s not the point of this post.)
So I can see how it would be refreshing to have a president who is the epitome of action over feelings. But this should give us pause. Trump demonstrates what can happen to a person if they are totally disconnected from their feelings. You become an empty shell, unable to care for others or to understand others- and, perhaps more importantly, to understand yourself.
