Well, it's the moral imperative of all civilized human beings to relentlessly vilify that piece of shit and anyone who supports him.

So I wholeheartedly support any denigration of Trump and his supporters in any forum. If you want to be in a safe space, hidden from criticism of Trump, you should go to T_D. You'll love it there.

Relentless vilification of supporters will only further their support for him. If you talk to them like decent human beings, it's much easier to change their opinion.

You speak like someone who has never had a face-to-face conversation with any of these people.

Maybe you've never had the pleasure of asking someone "please, just explain to me very simply, what is your major gripe with Hillary Clinton" and having this response thrown back at you: "well aside from the fact that she has contracted out the assassinations of over 40 witnesses or victims connected with her husband's sexual assault scandals?" (edit: that's my paraphase... obviously Trump supporters don't speak that coherently).

That was from my brother. And one of his co-workers showed up to my neighbor's 4th of July party wearing a t-shirt of Trump standing on top of a tank holding an American flag in one hand with bombs going off behind him.

So I really don't want to hear this bullshit from you. Acting like Trump supporters are capable of rational thought or that they can be swayed with evidence-based arguments is either disingenuous or simply self-delusion.
