Right!

[@Kevin-Schmevin]

Wow, right before Trump won, nice call mate!

[@hornetobiker]

Why the smirking backdrop?

[@Noises]

Hey, Gary from Gary. Womp womp.

[@saulofontoura]

He may not have the right answers, but he's adressing issues others run away from. Unfortunately you can't say this without people thinking you're endorsing everything he says and/or you're a neo nazi or some shit like that.

OMG who the hell cares what others think?! Are you a teen?? Speak the fuck up, if you don't try to pin your issues on blameless minorities (if you think you've got it bad, they probably have it worst) then any idiot who tries to call you a nazi are themselves nazis and nobody cares what they say!!

[@nolanoster3660]

Really? I talk about these sorts of issues with my friends, family, and coworkers, none of them think I'm a neo-Nazi

[@ammon3715]

The only way you would sound like a Nazi when pointing out how the working class is getting fucked over is if you do what trump does and blame it one minorities and endorse protectionist policies.

@@nolanoster3660 agreed, in that context, because they care about you, and I generally have the same open-minded free thinking with my friends, family, and coworkers to an extent. However, I'll bet the OP is talking about experiences on social media, where there's a larger crowd of less caring, more anonymous people, so more likely someone there who's keen to have a go. The funniest is when you simultaneously get called a "satanic marxist" by the right and a "fascistic capitalist" by the left, I find being the recipient of a double-sided attack, makes it look more ridiculous and easier to just shrug off the trolls, who are really just a minority of rattly cans anyway. What to do about social media though? Because rattly can amplification + availability cognitive bias seems to have an incredible effect on culture.
