- true_religion 8y agoI don't often talk about my politics on HN, but.... I am a republican, which puts me in line to be a Trump supporter naturally. However, if you watch closely---although Trump espouses Republican goals, his reasons for doing so are usually 'odd'. There's no considered logic behind his decision making. It is hard to praise him, even when he is on your side, because doing so is tethering your ideology to a crazy fellow and you never know what he might do next, because his reason does not rely on any wider principle.
- tenkurmatia 8y agoSame can be said about any specific organization, like a political party. It is often impossible for two people to agree all the time. To agree with a politicial party/philosophy all the time would seem similarly crazy. The reason it is hard to praise him is probably more because people might be afraid that there is actually no reason for his stance and the stance might be completely as random as a flip of a coin.
