It's time to hold Drumpf supporters accountable for what they are supporting. Perhaps if we say it enough, they'll understand that it's not just rhetoric, it's accurately describing his position.
You're welcome to this adamantine view, but earlier you said that impractical ideologues were inherently a bunch of idiots. Now you're saying that regardless of your motivations, if you have any sympathy for Trump, you shall be declared anathema, and excommunicated from the Cali Panthers Fan notion of what "America" means. This is obviously divisive, but also impractical. According to polling, at least a third of the country support Trump.

New Era, if you want to talk about why the left loses, or why the GOP has united behind a guy who isn't really a Republican, this is a good place to start. There's this weird complete 180 that seems to have happened where the GOP has abandoned its purity politics about "good conservative principles" for anything goes, while the left is just becoming more strictly dogmatic. If you side with the other guys, according to Cali, you're not just wrong, or misguided, or focused on the wrong issues at the expense of more important problems. No, if you're on the other side, you're a traitor to your country.

Sound a bit like the RNC circa 2004?
