    My dude, one of the candidates is a proven rapist. Are you going to try and tell me that “rape is bad” is “just a matter of perspective”?

    To be quite frank, some perspectives are simply bad and/or evil and don’t merit respect or consideration. If that alienates shitty and evil people, then good.

      Do I believe rape is bad? Of course, and I believe the accusations and therefore I believe Trump is a bad person. But the vast majority of his supporters don’t believe the accusations, so it’s not fair to accuse them of knowingly supporting a rapist. Honest question, do you really believe 40% of the US population is shitty and evil?

        I believe anyone that supports Trump at this point, with the amount of information we possess regarding his various crimes and veritable dump truck of unethical and immoral behaviour to be either an idiot or a terrible person, yes.

        People that want him in office for tax breaks or other economical advantages, civil rights and the greater economy as a whole be damned, can at least be reasoned with. Their motivations are selfish and terrible, but there is room for negotiation there, however unsavoury it may seem.

        The terminally stupid or the plainly evil bigots on the other hand have no value and I see no reason to grant them any consideration.
