It may have been your intent to use the same thought process in the beginning but you definitely do not post with this so called shared mindset.

Right.  I tried being more Socratic and tried to present both sides but it didn't seem to be changing anyone's mind or telling anyone things they didn't already know. I didn't get any positive feedback for it.  So now I figure I should just speak from the gut more. And my gut hates Trump's guts, rationally or not.

This is like beating your head against a brick wall. Most here are set in their ways and are unwilling to listen to a POV that deviates from theirs. I have learned a lot from folks here. I may not agree with them but I have had my eyes opened to things I wouldn't have had I not been willing to at least listen (or in this case, read). Most here are not willing to listen. I've made my peace with it and just try to enjoy the discussion.
