Ben Shapiro is a smart guy who makes some good points. But he also has a tendency to make sweeping generalizations about Trump supporters. I supported Trump but no, I don’t support David Duke. I don’t even support everything Trump wants. He wasn’t my first choice. But I’m pleasantly surprised with what he has been doing since he was elected and I generally support him. If he does something that I don’t agree with, I won’t support it. Just like I didn’t support Bush’s spending binge even thought I supported other things he did. No one is a robot who automatically supports everything and everyone associated with Trump. So all Shapiro is doing with this essay is filling space with a straw man argument.

Most of the Trump supporters I know are mature, thoughtful people like you. However, there are indeed a few who follow Trump with religious fervor. Sadly, I can't agree with the straw man assertion.

Count me in as one of those "religious fervor" Trump supporters. 

None of the Never Trump conservatives could have beat Hillary nor accomplished anywhere near what Trump has accomplished in the last few weeks.

He's firing on all cylinders.  Pleasing the Deplorables, fantastic Cabinet choices, executive orders, attacking the media, meeting world leaders, creating jobs, going after the Deep State.

And I just love the way he uses Twitter to stir up the animals.  Great.

Donald Trump walks on water...

That is unfortunately true. There are people to whom Trump is the white Obama. That attitude does neither him nor us any favors.
