No. I slipped up and waded into the morass that is people arguing about politics on Facebook etc, and people are tired of being condescended to, whether it's by "politicians" or "the media" or "liberals (academics)". It's classic internet arguments where the other side is so over the top in their attack that it only hardens the support. For the vast majority of people - the ones who will actually decide this election - it's not about the positions at all. People picked a "team", and the more people tell them they're dumb for supporting Trump the more support he'll get, and that's only going to amplify tenfold once he wins the nomination. And as someone who really dislikes Trump, but hates almost all the other candidates too, I can't blame them at all, because every candidate IS flawed, and (almost) all of the people arguing in favor of somebody else is uninformed as well. I actually think he's the most likely winner in November at this point, and even a month ago I never thought I could say that.
