Theres another option you overlook. Its not just two options.
The other option is that people just bekieve he is simply wrong on this issue and is making a mistake. No one is perfect and I never voted for him thinking he was. But when we believe he is making a mistake, I believe zi owe it to my conscience and him, as a supported, to be honest and tell him he is making a mistake. I don’t just blindly accept anything. Because he isnt perfect and he sometimes is wrong, and sometimes handles things not as well as he could.
Its the difference between being a suck up yes man/dont rock the boat/just shut up and vote for McCain and Romney they’re better than the alternative, and an honest supporter who still looks at things critically, and says “hey this isn’t right” when we believe that. I think its important to provide honest feedback and criticism about what he does, to be true to myself and him.
I literally made it clear it wasn’t about being a suck up, nor being bad for being critical. If it’s a mistake, then there is a reason for it. That is what I’m interested in, the why. If someone I generally trust is doing something that seems wrong or doesn’t make sense, I try to figure out why or at least wait until things become more clear.
I think that is more productive than what many are doing (not you), calling Trump a phony, a pedophile etc and willing to throw away all the progress.
Again, I do not believe Trump is stupid or unaware this isn’t sitting well. I’m willing to still support him on all the other worthwhile things until I know more of the why in this matter. I have confidence things will make more sense in time. If you don’t that’s fine.
