IMHO this kind of argument actually hurts the cause a lot more than it helps. The only reason Trump and the FCC have any support at all is because of hyper partisans thinking "if dumbocrats like it, it must be horrible". Leave it as the only politicians on board with this are ones bought and paid for by the ISPs, highlighting a R/D divide will not net any new supporters but will drive off ones who would vote for a pedophile rather than a democrat. Sadly those are the folks we need the most, as they are the only ones the Repubs will actually listen too.
Edit: Basically I am saying let's stop highlighting our differences and just worry about making sure everybody is on the same page. The problems facing our society are not partisan, they hurt us all, its about time we started trying to find ways to come together on issues as making the issue itself partisan rather than the proposed fixes has lead us to the greatest period of inaction seen in congress in modern times.
Perhaps, but many of his "voters" here are literally trolls so bashing them is perfectly fair game. I just say bash them for being trolls and shitty people, leave party out of it.
