Just to be perfectly clear, Trump is not supported by the majority, silent or otherwise. Hillary Clinton won the popular vote by almost 3 million MORE votes over Trump. The MAJORITY of those that voted, voted for Clinton! It was a thing called the Electoral College that got the U.S. him as their leader. This statement is one oif the reasons political discussions get ugly - stating falsehoods to support your point
One of the other reasons why political discussions turn ugly is because people like you feel the need to unfairly make sweeping judgements,categorizing and putting labels on people! When you start judging and making grandious generalizations by calling those that didn't support Trump things like "liberal elite"," think they are better than the average person", and "patronizing", you can bet you are going to piss people off by being so pompous and judgemental! And yes that is when political discussions understandably get very ugly.
Adje has the right idea, stay away from political ar, religious discussions
