Yep. This guy is the textbook definition of toxic. There is nothing worse than people who want to inflict their own opinion on others. Yeah you can think of Trumps tweets what you want, censorship is a big thing too you know... The problem is not Trumps tweets, its that 40% of Americans are supporting Trump that should worry us. But then again, you can't inflict your own opinion on others. The only way to do something useful here is to educate people about how wrong they are in supporting Trump.

Hmm, mob rule and "educating people why they are wrong" does one thing - it sends these people underground and it's why Trump might win again:

I'd rather have these ideas out in the open where people can defeat the arguments properly without ad-hominem, rather than shouting them down. And hell, maybe even learn something new.

The only way? How about reconsidering your own position and offering people something they would like better?

What if people like the police having free reign to assault and even commit murder arbitrarily because of false associations with, say, safety?
