This is more of a case of enemy of my enemy is my friend that somehow leaked into US politics.

I edited that out because it's distracting. Realistically, Trump was clearly a practical revolutionary, standing in stark contrast to a vested establishment that ceaselessly sought to upend him and his supporters.

How is saying Trump won the election an act of political dissent? Trump was president!
The overton window has shifted so far on this site that saying "I don't like this person" is grounds for starting a whole debate about cancellation! Y'all are absolutely out of control
People are allowed to not like other people. Sorry if people you like aren't liked by other people

It's obviously an excuse for suppression.
The premise is "A is being suppressed. The response is 'I don't like A.'" Do you think that is a valuable insight? Is that useful received wisdom?
There is strong of evidence that introduction of reactionary 'feeling' consideration acts as a countervailing force to analysis.
If you don't mind me asking, how would you characterize your background and political leanings?
