What he does with his own money is none of anyone's business. I live in a state where it is pretty evenly divided between parties. I have friends who support Trump and friends who don't like him. All of them are nice people who have valid reasons for who they support. Demonizing people because they don't agree with you is detrimental to society and it is not sustainable.

>Demonizing people because they don't agree with you is detrimental to society and it is not sustainable. Surely there's a difference between demonising people who disagree on the value of mushrooms in meals and demonising people who support a bigot? Also, you lot conveniently pick and choose when to apply this, as I'm sure no one would make the same arguments for people who supported Hitler.

> Demonizing people because they don't agree with you is detrimental to society and it is not sustainable. Fascinating how this is only ever used as bludgeon in one direction. Never used when people talk about immigrants eating pets or being “vermin”, or when someone asks that you call them she/her or they/them. I wonder why that is. Surely not an abject lack of moral consistency. > What he does with his own money is none of anyone's business. Nah, if I don’t like where my money flows after I spend it, I am perfectly free to spend it in other ways. I’m sorry people like you dislike my freedom of association.

Even more detrimental to society is corruption, which this is. Who gives money to the leaders of your country and why should definitely be everyone's business.

Just an aside but this sentiment can't help feel a little comical just maybe at this moment. Like it all sounds right and we have heard it all before, but you can almost hear the impotent rehearsal of it in our current context. Like where has the decency gone am I right??

In 2015 I was mostly both-sides but Trump is completely different. Supporting trump at this point means you are not a nice person.

Yeah supporting Trump is a bright stamp on your head that youre an ignoramus, completely vile, and/or a sociopathic predator who needs to be investigated because of they support a blatant rapist criminal what else do they let slide in their life. They demonized themselves when they support a demon. There is no negotiating with bad faith sociopaths. Its been 10 years of crime after crime, are you blind? Do you read anything?

This reads like a lack of conviction. If you're willing to be friends with people who do deplorable things, that's your business. That's not a sign of maturity. That's cowardice, weakness, and an almost pathetically pathologic need to be liked. As an alternative to simply throwing your beliefs away in the pursuit of image, consider therapy. It worked for me.
