A lot people here came from reddit, and bring reddit's bad habits with them. The nasty comments here to fellow Trump supporters are reminiscent of how r/politics talks to each other. r/T_D was a lot nicer place.
But for the record, Ben Shapiro is a wolf in sheeps clothing. He gets a lot of things right. And he's a smart man. But for all that intelligence, he actually believes Trump is an idiot and he only became President out of sheet luck. He argues that anything good that happens to Trump is pure coincidence.
You don't have to like Trump, but you can't claim to be both a smart person AND believe Trump is an idiot. He's clearly not.
I absolutely agree with you on all of this. I'm not a fan of the reddit behavior. I was on reddit for years and barely ever participated in chat because of it. I came from reddit also. I have participated much more here than I ever did there. I learn a lot more here and most people are encouraging of that. We are all at a different place on this train. Not everyone is a seasoned veteran. Some of us are trying to catch up.
As for Ben, I agree on that also. He was entry level for me as I think he is for many people. I have moved on from him a while ago. My comment about an opportunity to educate was specifically about that. Why not let O.P. know exactly why they aren't a fan of Ben rather than make O.P. hesitant to post again. That's exactly why I hated reddit.
There is a lot of negativity here lately and haterism. Don't like it at all. The Trump Train is yuge and inclusive and has lots of room for all different types. A forum dedicated to the GEOTUS shouldn't be anti any specific group because the man himself is not a hater and friends with people across the racial and ethnic spectrum. It's an unfair reflection on Donald Trump when people here start posting bigoted crap. I often think these threads that seem to fish for bigoted comments are planted by the opposition.

Thank you for actually taking the time to describe why Shapiro gets hate from T_D users. It didn’t click for me until I read your comment.
