I don’t agree with Trump on most things, but my beliefs also definitely don’t agree with most people who hate Trump.

  Truly an enlightened centrist approach for the ages.

    Dude...gp comment was making the completely inoffensive point that politics has more complexity than pro/against Trump. It's almost too obvious to say, but it wasn't really being factored into the discussion so it was worth pointing out. It's like the blandest thing a person can say, don't get triggered and be a jerk about it.

  I can't make much sense of that. Can you give a few examples? As I interpret it, suppose that you disagree with Trump about the usefulness of tariffs. Now, I personally hate Trump (due to his many personality faults such as narcissism, bullying, lying etc) and I also don't think that tariffs are that useful, or at least not how Trump has tried to use them. So, does that mean that you don't agree with my views on tariffs or that you don't agree with my views on Trump or both?

  You probably won't read this, because I didn't get back to looking at this thread for several days, but I'll leave this here on the off chance you do. I see far more predictive value in supporting Trump than opposing him. Lots of people oppose him for a variety of reasons. But people who are still fully on board at this point have had to take a number of twists in their ideological viewpoints in stride. Their ideology is clearly not something objective, it has a focus on a moving target. Informative, but not in any kind of vanilla left/right debate.
