What's the difference between “支持” and “支撐”?
I hear 支持 used a lot more. I don't really know how to use 支撐!
An example sentence would be a big help.
Thank you!

支撐 often refers to physical support - things holding other things up
1)房屋全靠樑柱支撐。
2)沒有支撐,牆就會垮了。
支持 is usually used for support in more of a metaphorical sense
1)感謝各位的鼎力支持!
2)我支持你的意見!
