    Even if not stronger per se, surely if I said I was going to “protect” you, we would agree that I am “supporting” you. It’s like saying I only promised to make you wealthier, not pay you. They are not literally the same word but paying someone is a way to make them wealthier.

      Straight up, if you’re protecting something it should be obvious that you support it

      Otherwise why would you protect it?

      For example: I protect personal privacy because I support the idea of personal privacy
