It's easy to gamble when you are comfortable. It's not so easy for the vast swathes of people trump views as undesirable when their rights and way of life is endangered (non-cis people, non-hetero people and women to name the first that come to mind). This is exactly why it's such a gamble and I agree with you that at this time idealism, while commendable and something I agree with, is in practice a luxury.
