4. One is free to agree with whomever one wants.
However, support for one part of his platform easily lends itself to being perceived as supporting another part of his platform.

You like the idea of currency reform, and the next thing you're supporting a pogrom.

You like the idea of a strong Russian presence in a non-Russian country, and the next thing you know you're excusing beating Poles because they're Poles.

You like the idea of a strong black leader condemning 40k black people being abused as racism, and you find it rather less problematic to have 200k black people abused under the name "Taking out the Trash".
