I think you'll find the rising homeless problem in every major city in america proves this wrong. How many millions of subsidies are being payed to handle these homeless people? LA alone dedicated a BILLION dollars to help fix this.

If you don’t like Trump or anti-vaxx stuff, how about you just ignore it? Muting it altogether can only make things worse as it will confine you in your "safe" but out of touch personal reality. This to me is the biggest issue in
