You are okay Ernie
Accept us ... we accept you
Do remember, Trump is a populist. His base clearly identifies with him.
So, it isn't like insulting regular politicians.
You insult Trump and you have personally insulted almost everybody in over 80% of the counties in America. Rural and outer suburbs, but still.
It immediately turns the discussion personal and anger brews.
But, I think you are aware and might get a small pleasure out of insulting all these people that are not like you.
Just another way to look at it
I intend no disrespect.

@questionWeaver It's not meant to be a debate, it's a statement of fact and personal morality.
I understand your rational POV, and for most situations i would agree with you --- but to me, when it comes to Trump and his ilk, it's like saying we should accept neo-Nazis or White Supremacists for what they are, that their beliefs are simply foibles to be discussed. We saw how that worked in Germany around 3/4 of a century ago.

@ChipmunkErnie
Perfectly fine to hold a position and express
I get it
I even respect it
Populists are not aligned with party, they align with the voters values themselves.
President Obama was a populist in 78 key dense zip codes.
Trump is a populist in 3,800 counties
Just saying, your message is targeted for normal politicians ... be alert, you may need to shift to a paradigm that works better.
Just responding to the original question.

@questionWeaver Every trend comes and goes. The next President will remind us clearly why most people hated Trump and should never vote for a crazy bigoted populist again.

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout So stop writing to me about it? Or would that be too simple? Or possibly too complex a concept?

Obama rocks.
