The number of instances of the word "believe" is where your argument (and Marcos') fails.

I'm not a justice expert, but unless Trump is judged and condemned, he is innocent and none of his actions are to be considered criminal, correct? That being the case, supporting him shouldn't be punished as well.

I'm thinking that maybe the People should prosecute Trump over hate crimes and such (there are grounds for that, right? Inciting crime is a crime in itself). Once he's a felon, then we may discuss if supporting him over a certain extent is to be considered criminal...

Again, I know I'm not creating the most solid argument here, since my legal expertise is limited, but judging people from supporting a free person seems misguided to me, rebellious as Trump is.



No one is talking about legal punishments for Trump (even though he threatened to jail Hillary if he won). We're talking about Y Combinator doing business with someone who is substantially and actively supporting a racist.
