Demonise the candidates to your heart's content, they deserve to be demonised. But
never forget that entirely decent people are among their supporters and they don't
deserve to be demonised for it. We've had foul contenders in the past---never mind that
the current candidates make them resemble saints---and entirely decent people had their
reasons (however perverse) for supporting them. We'll have foul contenders again in the
future.
Blast Donaldus Minimus all you wish; he deserves to be blasted. Blast Hilarious Rodent
Clinton all you wish; she deserves to be blasted. But let their supporters be. If there
is one right that ought to be cherished among us ordinary people, it is the right to be
wrong, however often those in the nation's largest organised crime family have tried to
abrogate it legally (and unconstitutionally).
