I really can't wrap my brain around complaints about dishonesty and integrity...and then you'll vote for trump. That is some cognitive dissonance. At least most of my friends on the other side of the fence recognize that and won't vote trump, either. |

It's a matter of degree as far as integrity and dishonesty. Obviously, some people feel Hillary is worse. Just because you feel otherwise doesn't automatically make your opinion right and the other opinion wrong. |
There are plenty, I'm sure. But there's a difference between hiding your belief b/c you're embarrassed by it or hiding it out of fear. Liberals can be very arrogant b/c most claim they're highly educated. Education and open-mindedness don't always go hand-in-hand. |

Wow, saying someone who is afraid to admit their choice might be insecure is now nasty name calling?
It seems a logical conclusion the way people are talking about how they would never admit to being a trump voter. |
Good one, Janis! |

Fear of what? Having to defend your opinion/decision? |
Not the PP, but I wouldn't call it "fear" exactly. It's more like not wanting to have to put up with being verbally attacked. And as far as defending my position, why should I have to? I know it's useless when I'm up against a rude, hostile Democrat, so I see no advantage in being sucked into a nasty argument. |

Out on the road today, I saw a Dead Head sticker on a Cadillac. A little voice inside my head said, don't look back, you can never look back.

I agree with your take on this. I’ll use my sister as an example. She is a liberal, I am not. On the rare occasion that we discuss politics, she has no intention of hearing my views and positions. She approaches our “conversations” as only an opportunity to convince me that she is right. As a result, there really is no conversation. She simply doesn’t listen to my views, but instead, attacks, changes the argument, and becomes quite incensed that I don’t agree with her. It is just not worth having these confrontations. We don’t agree on policy or methods to achieve a stated goal. I love her, but I will not talk politics with her. |
Same here. Every time I am trying to listen to liberals views about their politics, for some reason this phrase comes to my mind: do not throw your pearls to pigs. I just recently moved to the country and really ready to listen to both sides, but for some reason all liberals arguments are one-sided. |
We get it old timer. No need to keep repeating it. Isn't there something on the tv at the nursing home? |
| Old timer? I'm under 40 and remember that song. |
I thought I knew what love was, what did I know? Those days are gone forever, I should just let them go but... |
