the problem is is that doing so makes you automatically lose credibility with a large part of the public.

another problem is that Trump is not (yet) a dictator and we are (still, for now) a Constitutional democracy.

When do we get to call Trump a dictator? When he ignores court rulings? When he floods the zone with illegal executive orders? Do we have to wait until he calls himself a Dictator and insists everyone else do the same?

If you are criticizing Trump, did you have any credibility with that part of the public to begin with?

Not saying there aren't reasons to avoid name calling. But I feel like battle lines are fixed by now. I don't feel like "Good point" is a likely reaction to anything said by anyone.
