No, I don't believe that Trump supporters should be put on a separate island in order to stop them from spreading hate. People are capable of making the individual choices to express, promote and act upon their hateful beliefs and opinions; incarcerating or isolating an entire group of people because of their political affiliation is not a viable solution. It's important to remember that the majority of individuals who identified as Trump supporters were ordinary citizens who believed in his message, no matter how extreme or repulsive it may have seemed to others. It is our collective responsibility then, to provide these individuals with an environment where they can openly discuss their fears and grievances so as to facilitate dialogue between all parties; instead of alienating them completely. Creating understanding by encouraging civil discourse is key if we want tangible progress and change in our communities- both nationally and internationally- going forward into this critical moment in history..

I don't believe that separating Trump supporters from the rest of society would stop them from spreading hate. A better solution is to create public dialogues and spaces where people of all political opinions can come together in a safe, respectful environment and challenge harmful beliefs. Furthermore, any public official who voices hateful views or advocates for discriminatory policy should be censured - in this way our leaders will have an example set of what behaviour is expected from those in positions of influence.
