Too bad you've been misled. Maybe it's time for you to go live in another country that espouses your ideals.

No, I cannot. She is much too radical. But that does not mean that I support the bloated moral degenerate whose every initiative, whose every tweet, disgraces the office of the President of the United States of America.

tuvoc: And what exactly would those ideals be? Freedom of Speech? The right to be heard without fear of harm?

I never said I agreed with her political ideas. So what is your point? Shut up and follow the leader? Read history. That's exactly what happens when a country becomes a dictatorship. People with you point of view like to misquote Stephen Decatur, "My country, right or wrong." I prefer this quote by German immigrant and Civil War hero Carl Schurz: "My country, if right, to be kept right; and if wrong, to be set right."

G. K. Chesterton put it better than I can in his "A Defence of Patriotism", "'My country, right or wrong' is a thing that no patriot would think of saying, except in a desperate case. It is like saying, 'My mother, drunk or sober'."

Since you have no profile I don't know if you live in the United States but here in America we do not blindly follow the leader. Donald Trump is clearly a man who would like to be a dictator. There is a lot of evidence to support that view but the clearest sign is what is happening today. If you disagree with him you should be deported even if you are a citizen. And that, my friend, is not democracy. That is tyranny.

I agree with you. Here in the United States, Diversity is a strength. And Freedom of Speech is a right. No matter what her political views are, she has the right to stand up to a wanna-be dictator.
