I am a liberal and live in DC. I am a teacher in a wealthy and well known suburb and I know three people (well, two directly and one indirectly) who have died from the opioid crisis. One was a student, one was the parent of a student and one was the friend of a colleague (and we needed a sub for a week due to that as she was totally traumatized). I was present at the funeral for the parent of the student. You can imagine how distraught my student was at the death of her mother. This crisis affects many, many people. If you think it doesn't, think again. I support Elizabeth Warren for her boldness in speaking to these people and empathizing with the situation (also Bernie Sanders). The Rs have yet to send someone to talk about this in rural America (or any part of America) as far as I can see . . . maybe someone can tell me differently. Whoever gets up close to these people will win IMO. But yeah, Trump can't find a way to make it about him by going to those people . . . it's better to go to rallies and have his Cabinet officials tell him how great he is and have people chant about immigration.  :cry: [/quote]
Translation: Trump has action plan and follows it, but since I'm a female liberal I must support a female liberal who all talk but hasn't done squat on pretty much any subject, while I do my best to indoctrinate McLean (or Langley?) students as much as I can, while blaming the current POTUS because I [b]irrationally[/b] hate him.

You need to believe it's irrational because the alternative is being honest with yourself about what is empirically true and why you support him. That would be scary, right? Admitting at this point that you have aligned yourself with?[/quote]
