It has been reported that anti-Trump supporters are calling Trump supporters Traitors. It is reported that Trumpites have been personalizing and demeaning, including hate talk, those who oppose Trump.

This is not about Trump, Clinton, Sanders, or any issue. It is about “WE THE PEOPLE”; how we treat one another.

When a voter, casts a ballot for a given candidate or issue, the person very much expresses an alignment with what that candidate or issue says or is; but disagreement with this choice must stop there. Any other person’s disagreement must stay with the issue, with the candidate, not morph into an attack of the person who voted or stated an opposing view.

It is also okay to criticize such a choice, centering on the choice, hopefully, with respect. No one should know that last better than those who favored Obama or Clinton. These supporters have been personally attacked, personally criticized, personally demeaned, and faced hatred talk; even up to this current day – going back 8-years!! 

The master of such attacks is and has been exactly you know who, among others; is a Trumpite favorite tool in fact but – 

that does not make it right for anyone!!




Personalizing an attack over someone’s choice is – ineffective. I have gone out of my way on the posts and threads where I contribute, to keep my conversation aimed at the subject, not at some person who stated something I disagree with. Does that mean I want to or even plan to have deep conversations with Trumpites, not likely. I like dialog with Trump voters on places like political group threads and political blogs; however, I no longer want to converse with any of them about personal, sensitive, or deep subjects. 

The chasm and critical impacting nature of issues and the Trump (therefore Trumpite) position is just too caustic, too dangerous, for me to trust any Trumpite. I suspect many Trumpites feel that way about me too – so we go our separate ways as regards friendship or trust but we can still dialog and even hope for a better collective position somewhere in the middle.

To personalize, is to shift the focus off the issue and become ineffective; stops the dialog. Therefore is no need for such personal dissing.
