You're proving the point I was making. I said policies should be judged individually, and that Trump has done some things I agree with and some things I disagree with. Your response wasn't to address a specific policy. It was to compare me to people who excused Hitler and Mussolini, call me spineless, and assume I secretly support everything Trump does. That isn't an argument. That's just personal attack and mind-reading. Also, the fact that this is a Thailand-based forum has nothing to do with the point. I never claimed this was a national debate or that this forum was going to change world history. It's a forum. People post opinions, people respond and sometimes those opinions are challenged. That is true whether the forum is based in Thailand, the US, the UK or anywhere else. If the forum "doesn't matter," then your opinion here doesn't matter either, but you're still posting it. So clearly we both understand that forums are places where people exchange views, not parliaments where laws are being passed. You also seem to think that not being blindly anti-Trump means being blindly pro-Trump. That's the exact tribal thinking I'm criticizing. I took my vote seriously. I looked at the choices, the policies, the direction of the country and I made my decision. I did not vote for Kamala Harris because I believed her policies and leadership would have been worse for the country. That doesn't mean I worship Trump or agree with everything he does. There are Trump policies I support. There are Trump policies I oppose. That is called independent thinking, not fence-sitting. If you want to discuss specific policies, fine. But comparing everyone who doesn't share your level of hatred for Trump to Hitler sympathizers is not a serious argument. It's just emotional labeling.
