To put it more bluntly, and in a way that will likely be "frowned upon"... there are plenty of members here who have expressed Trump support whose demeanor and motivation I don't question at all. Who are respectful and, even when it gets heated, at least earnest. There are others who I think are trying to "get a reaction" simply because it will please them, and are frustrated because there are no genuine Hillary Clinton supporters here for them to bait. It's boring. The only thing MORE boring is having to "play by the rules" and not call these people out  . |
Personally I don't believe I have seen anyone on here offer any derogatory or insulting reasons for supporting Trump - nothing deserving of the 'bigot' allegations. Simply expressing concerns regarding the current level of immigration is not justification for such remarks.
But I have seen such comments banded about for nothing more. Hardly reasonable and hardly likely to provoke a reasonable response, by any reasonable person's standards.
