No one is beyond reproach. But it would be nice if those reproachments were saved for people's actual words and actions rather than a laundry list of prejudices and assumptions extrapolated from a single data point. It would be even nicer if we could agree that disapproval of one or more of someone's political opinions doesn't require that they be made UNTOUCHABLE and banished.

If you said you were a Democrat, and voted for Democrats, but dated a vocal Republican, and donated to non-profits who were doing work you believed would do some good in the world regardless of whether they passed ideological purity tests, I'd call you a breath of fresh air.

I'm not sure if anyone like that exists anymore.

> people's actual words and actions

* He said he used a pro trump account and then said he didn't. Both can't be true so we know he is a liar\lying about this incident.

* He donated money to a pro trump org

* His girlfriend is\was a trump supporter

* His 'like'ing pattern seems to fall in line with what a Trump supporter may do

Maybe he is a libertarian now. Maybe not. It is very difficult to tell because he seems to have an issue with honesty and his actions are not aligning with his words.
