With respect, I never expected you to prove anything to me or anyone else. I can't speak on behalf of those who were seeking your views and reasoning for voting for Donald Trump, so have no opinion on the matter.

With all of that said, I recognise that discussions involving Donald Trump (and political views in general) can become heated due to difference of opinion. I understand that Trump is someone who one either likes or hates. I can only assume that perhaps you've been attacked or berated in some way over your opinions before and so understand your need for such a defencive behaviour. I get it. It's frustrating when people don't see your side of the story and when you do try and explain, it exacerbates the situation further. Here you felt the same thing would happen so chose not to respond and that is perfectly fair and good.

The reason why I weighed in on the situation was because it's very clear the discussion was getting heated due to differences in views. If you didn't want to respond to whose wanting to know your opinion, you have the right to say No.

I apologise if the way I had written my response to you came across as if I were aggressive. It genuinely wasn't intended that way. However, please do not make statements that I am acting like a child. That is unnecessary and uncalled for. I made one reply. One in which I demonstrated that I saw both sides of the story, and that includes yours.
