This is a poster child of the case when you can completely disagree with opinion but should be really worried about the possibility of silencing it.

Wonder if Scott Adams can satisfy the search for intelligent Trump supporters - http://omniorthogonal.blogspot.com/2016/10/the-quest-for-int... .

The slatestarcodex blog linked to above, and it's follow up are good reads:

Intelligent conservatives' comments on Trump fascinate me. I like reading between the lines as they realise they have to explain things very slowly for a big portion of their audience, who they thought were appreciating their intellectual arguments, but it turns out they just thought they were in the same tribe.

For more from this genre, see also Sam Harris podcasts available on Youtube, where he goes into great detail about why Trump would be a disaster.
