CDC gets list of forbidden words

How can anybody actually support the current administration if this sort of thing is what is being pushed. how is this improving the world? how is this better? how is this good?

anyone?

If I answer truthfully I'm going to be down voted and shamed, so I won't answer.

Instead, I'm going to continue to be part of the silent majority that supports him, but doesn't speak out because we are often falsely labeled as deplorables or worse.

Edit: people like me are what you get when society stifles free speech: unwilling to engage and so continuing in our beliefs silently. maybe you coastal elitists should stop shaming people for having different opinions and mental models of how the world works.

And if you dummies think that speech isn't being stifled, look no further than James Demore being fired for trying to figure out root cause analysis of why there aren't more women in tech

Edit 2: someone is going through my post history and downvoting. Good job, ladies, you're proving my point.

Edit 3: and now I'm not allowed to respond to people because I'm posting "too fast". Great.

You're going to be downvoted either way, because a post that just complains about theoretical downvotes gets downvoted on this site. So you might as well take the opportunity to explain.

It's also worth mentioning that the question GP is asking isn't really "how can people support the administration", as there's many, many answers to it. The real question is "how can people support this?".

And frankly, enlighten me. Do you support this?

Edit: I should also remind you that Trump is not supported by a "silent majority". Quite the opposite: Trump is supported and was elected by a vocal minority. His approval rating today is the lowest it's ever been according to 538's aggregations. It's time americans get their head out of the sand on this topic.

538 doesn't do polling. They aggregate and analyze others' polls.

538 gave Trump a ~30% chance of winning, where virtually all other outlets (Princeton, NYT, HuffPo, etc.) were giving him a 1-5%. They appear to have had the best handle on Trump's chances.

That illustrates how useless such predictions are. What "Trump has 30% chance of winning" means? If Trump won, did this prediction work or not? If he lost, did it work or not? How one could distinguish successful prediction from a failed one, even post-factum? I don't see any way. Now, if we had 100 identical Trumps running in 100 USA elections, and 30 of them would win and 70 of them would lose, we'd say good work 538, you were spot on. But since we have one Trump winning one election - I do not see any way of seeing how 538 was "better" than NYT since I can't see how you can say whether both were successful or not. NYT gave Trump 1% to win, he won - so that 1% worked. Big deal, people win lottery all the time, with much lower chances. So maybe NYT was completely right and 538 is full of it, maybe it's really an one in a 100 event? How would you know?
