My oldest daughter and husband visited the other night. Very enjoyable game night. Then until 2 AM the political discussion came out. I took a strong anti-trump stance, gave my reasons and all but nearly the whole time I felt attacked because I didn't/wouldn't support Hillary. Much of that boiled down to making comparisons between Hillary and Trump. I don't see them as comparable and never understood why I was on the receiving end of that anger. Night ended with hugs and kisses, so all's well that ends well.

Is there a place for thoughtful criticism where you don't get pigeon holed as "the opposition." I don't mind opposing views and dialogue per ideas, but on SI if you oppose one you get cast as the political enemy opposition. One of the poster's around these threads keeps asking me why I love Putin (that goes in the "believe it or not" pile).
