[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the true number of people in FCC who support Ilya won't be apparent until after the polls close. I know several people who plan to vote for him but would never put a sign in their yard and aren't public about their support.[/quote]

Why would people refrain from putting up a yard sign or being public about support?  Are they anticipating blowback from their "friends"?  [/quote]

PP - Yes, because people here are pretty intolerant when it comes to different views, sadly. In many crowds, admitting you like Ilya is a black mark.[/quote]

I hope that's not true.  If it is, then (a) people need some backbone, and (b) anyone that would give you blowback is not your friend.  [/quote]

Agree with the pp and while I’d be fine personally dealing with the blow back I am more concerned about it impacting my kids.[/quote]

My kids are in fear of anything out of the scope of groupthink being expressed by either me or spouse as they know they would loose their (pseudo) friends in an FCC minute...
All of this is one big social experiment...my kids cant drive but understand the above concept....i wasnt in my 40s until i witnessed it-or understood it...[/quote]

This is sad, and frankly disturbing.  You (and your kids) are the living embodiment of the lyrics to Rush’s Subdivisions. [/quote]

Ugh.  I am the PP and re-reading this “intended-to-be-witty” post I realize I was just rude.  My apologies to the person to whom I was responding.  That’s a hard choice to make.  I trust you’ll do the best for your family.  [/quote]

I don't think your post was rude--I did find it witty and looked up the lyrics, aware of Rush but was not a die hard fan, great Canadian band. Thank you for circling back.[/quote]
