When Harris speaks about the "smart people he knows" that are Trump supporters, it's because they see the worst trend in modern western culture is not the blowhards like trump.
It's the people that think that free and open discourse should be limited to "responsibly". What a disastrous idea.
Their view...and I frankly find it make a good argument against this point - is that people who attach free speech to "responsibility" must be defeated, and you cannot find yourself on their team.

I'm not saying you're wrong on Harris. I'm not saying he can't be wrong. I just haven't heard him being unreasonable or unfair on Islam, as you indicated. I always enjoy seeing evidence contrary to my current model, though...so I encourage you to provide me with your best examples.
