You were only one of a number of people that bullied him.

Noonereal's sin as I see it was that he said a few positive things about Trump.

He also said some negative things about him and I would not categorize him as a Trump supporter.

He was even handed.

What I am concerned about is all the knee jerk demonetization of all things Trump, not only by the majority of people on this forum, but from Democrats in general.

As I have said before, there are a number of Trump's positions that I like and that Democrats should like. His views on trade, infrastructure, foreign interventionism, social security.

These are areas where he is going to meet substantial resistance from the Republicans in congress and he will need help from the Democrats. However, what I am seeing is just blind hatred from the Democrats. What I fear will happen is that the Democrats are going to alienate Trump to the point where he says "Fuck it" and abandons the more populist elements of his agenda.

And considering that most Democrats are owned by their wealthy donors that hate Trump's populism, maybe that's the plan.
