It's just that the handful of Trump apologists are extremely vocal and militant in their support and they don't deal well with criticism. They shout so loudly and so often that it makes it seem like there are a lot more of them than what there actually are. You can count the number of people in the Defend Trump At All Costs Club on one hand. But what they lack in numbers they make up for with determination and sheer number of posts. I am sure that there are many who do not support Trump who are not comfortable with posting in the Political forum at all. You do see the number of likes in particular posts of those who do not support Trump and they are sometimes numerous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or... getting banned and getting a zillion warning points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a pity because I like the political threads but I realised I overstepped the line in there a while back now, and so I'll leave US politics to the Americans unless it is something I really need to say...

People are passionate and can be one eyed, but that's the nature of the beast (politics) and I guess that's why the saying came about - never discuss religion or politics: but you have to admit, both those topics are worth discussing.

We now have a kinda sorta conservative president after 8 years of Obama. Donald Trump has been attacked relentlessly so many feel they have to jump to his defense.
