>I hold no opinion on Trump

Utterly baffling and genuinely inconceivable. My imagination is running wild trying to imagine what sort of person you might be, assuming you are being honest here.

IS it wrong to always be skeptical and paranoid about the world, the media, the government, the tech companies/any company promising a good thing?

This isn't a new feeling, idea or such - there's always been a counter culture and I enjoy and love tech. I never got into Twitter, and the more accessible tech has become, it seems to have become eternal summer.

Which, on one hand is good - tech is accessible, government "can" be more transparent then ever.

But is it, really? Go back to any presidency generation and you can see the same questions. It doesn't matter if it's the red scare, the pacifist of USA not jumping into WW2 until bommbed at pearl harbor (but had operations in Sino China.) and etc -

That's another issue here, the moving and adaption of wrong think, and tribes forming based if you think one alike - there's so many arguments from how you value money, what is money, what is a good president, if the color of your skin matter, what you do, how you spend your free time, if you allow people to peer onto your social presence, etc

It's just alarming, the slippery slope of internet adaption/culture the past decade really has ushered a dystopia.

But, it seems, according to you, that is "utterly baffling and genuinely inconceivable" where it goes to show, if you don't follow tribe mentality, you are labelled pariah, and then what, excommunicated for questioning the status quo?

It is specifically baffling to have no opinion on Donald Trump, yes, and that is precisely orthogonal to one's opinions on the internet, Twitter, "tribes", technology, or anything that you mentioned in your comment, for that matter.

There are people who live in countries outside the US, you know.

As someone who lives outside the US I can assure you that very few people in my country don’t have an opinion on Trump.

Even then it's next to impossible to not have an opinion on Trump.
