I have some friends who are Trump supporters; one of them I could even consider to be "over the top" with how much he likes the guy. I'll just say this: I consider myself more of a democrat, and I hate Trump. He is a clear liar and a thief, and am genuinely disappointed that he is still allowed to have a presidential campaign for next year despite his criminal charges. Why people still support the guy and say he did nothing wrong is beyond me, and further proves my point that people fail to fact check anything anymore and refuse to accept the truth.
Meanwhile, every time I see huge Trump signs in someone's front yard, or a pickup truck on the road that carries a large (often explicit) Trump flag in its bed, I instantly form my opinion that those guys are angry individuals that have no respect for other human beings (I have a way more R-rated opinion about such people, but explaining that here would go against forum rules). Needless to say, I've made it a habit of not sharing my political views with my friends, and we do a pretty good job of avoiding the topic altogether as they are well-aware that I'm quite different with my views.
As for other sensitive topics such as religion, relationships, and minorities, it's definitely not as bad with me. I have my own opinions of such things, but I know for a fact that it is completely wrong to openly hate on others based on their beliefs. For example, I consider myself a straight male, and there are many users here on TBT who are openly gay, non-binary, transgender, and so on. Just because I prefer to be straight does NOT give me the right to hate on others that don't share the same belief, and everyone should have the right to safely express their individuality without getting harmed both physically and mentally in the process. In fact, a lot of the users I've met here who aren't straight are some of the nicest people I've ever met, and they should NEVER be judged based solely on their preferences. Now, if someone's intent is to harm others, that's a completely different story, and all such people need to get some help right away.
The world would be perfect if people just kept their negative thoughts to themselves, but as we've seen many times in the past few decades, this unfortunately can't happen all the time.
