People who indulge in such activities are clearly breaking the law and should be reported. Pieter supporting Trump is legal!

So you don't want to associate with half the country? It's your choice, but do you see the importance of letting people have different opinions (as long as they are legally acceptable) and agree to disagree?

half the country? first it's only expected voters which is like 40 pct of america. then only around 30 pct of those support trump. so yes i'm fine not associating with 12 pct of people.

That's voters. Trump supporters are presumably much higher.
