The big issue right now when it comes to the US is where you draw the line between "this person is a politician I don't agree with" and "this person is dangerous to the country and has completely unacceptable views".
If David Duke ran for president, and Elon Musk supported him (using both to illustrate a point, not implying anything), would you still think it just for Musk to maintain the power he has, or would you be concerned with what projects he would power?
Obviously, there two situations aren't perfectly parallel, but it's a question of severity. The point is that Trump is crossing that line for some, and not for others, which drastically changes the way people judge actions related to Trump. So no, I don't think the parent here is saying just any politician.

- FeepingCreature 9y agoPeople voting is fine. The problem is the people who think they should have the power to remove politicians from the ballot, because they want to assume control over the votes of everybody else.
