I used to think that the 'mythical trump supporter' was either a rarity, or a parody. As in, nobody was actually dumb enough to support him.

I was wrong. This thread shows there ARE people dumb enough to support such a blatantly terrible person.

and I got a moderation warning for calling you out on it.

It's a sad, sad day to be an intellectual. I hope your country burns for this.

Let's say it is in fact "wrong" to be a Trump supporter. What is the next best course of action for making sure the country and it's people move in the right direction?

Is it to unfriend them in every possible public arena (Forums, FB, Twitter, in-person) or would it be to somehow find a way to keep the bridges of communication live despite differences. I believe in the latter and you seem to believe in the former, which is fine, but correct me if I'm wrong on that. And if I'm right on that count, can you explain how alienation will lead to more progress than non-alienation?

Same for anyone else who wants to alienate those members of society. Is it an effective approach to your end-game?
