This is the core of the problem: expressing an opinion (perhaps even popularly held, given the last election results) versus stating a fact. Nowhere did the poster say that they were stating a fact - it was merely their opinion; and although that works on other boards, it doesn't fly on Politics. There is no room for an individual's opinion - unless it's a positive one.
We might as well call the board Pollyanna Politics. It's not a place for discussion so much as a place for saying, "my sky is blue, what colour is yours?" (and the only possible reply would be, "well my sky is a splendid shade of green. Enjoy your blue sky.")
On the other hand, this is a mental health forum.
