Yes agreed.
I think things become very grey when assuming one "tie" themselves to them.
Now when I see some folks kneeling on a friends neck with their pickup truck, a confederate flag and a trump sign as the back drop... I dont blame folks for assuming they may well be part of the alt right / hate fueled demo LOL.
My bigger concern is how folks come to the conclusion of "tie". And I see this happening on both sides. People might cite an example or voice concern for one aspect or another. Then so very often the conversation becomes accusation filled or hyperbolic in nature.
This to me this is the biggest problem with political discourse. An unwillingness to flesh out a civil conversation of varying opinions.
