If Trump wins, it affects my household very personally.

Oh, boo hoo. I happen to be a fed and married to one as well. It’s long since past time for some government agencies to move into the country’s interior. There’s an entire country out there - much more than just the coasts. Moving some agencies will bring welcome jobs to new areas. I’m all for it.

Approximately 80% of Federal jobs are not in the DC area.

“Moving agencies” is the dumbest idea I’ve heard in a long time.

It is if you subscribe to the idea that the layers and layers of agencies make sense in the first place. There is no need to have legions of GS-13-15s paid what they are paid in this area. That makes no sense. And, why on earth would anybody thing any "cost analysis" done by another government agency is even reliable?

Which government data do you believe? Jobs data? Economic reports? Weather reports?

Or do you just disbelieve what you feel hostile about?

Yeah, I say absolutely nothing to my Trumper friends and relatives. Why they have chosen this hill to die on, instead of supporting Pence (who I don't like, but who is at least dignified), I will never understand.

I plan to continue to say little to nothing to them, while saving my money for the next GOP fueled recession, and campaigning for the causes I believe in.

Now relatives are relatives, but if you are saying nothing to your 'Trumper friends', I think they might notice and assume that you are breaking off the friendship.

I was the one earlier in the thread who chuckled at Trump-haters in my social circle that seemed not to know where I stood politically. If somebody starts shunning me for no good reason, I just guess that they have some personal issues going on that they have to work through. Which is basically what this all is - letting something as trivial as national politics get in the way of personal friendships? Time to reset your priorities.

I agree that relatives are relatives- what can you do, on either side of the spectrum really...they are family. I’d think both Dems and Republicans would agree (I hope so).

Friends are a totally different animal...I don’t see much value in spending time with those on the opposite side of the aisle unless they are very quiet about their views. I can find a running buddy, coffee date etc anywhere. Plenty of friends who share my views that I don’t have to tiptoe around when it comes to politics. It’s social time/ free time- no one wants to spend it squabbling about politics or patiently listening through clenched teeth. Not worth it on either side IMO. I’ve dropped most old friends who aren’t on my side of the aisle.

Your impotent rage is palpable. And funny, considering how many liberal loudmouths who have amounted to nothing exist in this country. You know, the ones who expect their college tuition to be paid for (by others, of course).

WTF? Your post makes absolutely no sense.

Getting up and going to work the next day, and looking forward to the next election. Hoping the crazy eventually burns off society.

Trump supporter here. I chuckle a bit when I see comments like this, knowing that I have friends and family who are Trump haters who really don't know where I stand. I let them rant and nod my head, but mostly try to steer the conversation away from politics. How will you know when you get to 100%? When it's just you and your cats?

Exactly this. These people are delusional. They truly have no idea who is voting for Trump.

We know.

No. You honestly don’t. But it’s cute that you think you do.

So you really go around and regularly complain about Trump and then you secretly vote for him?

Uh, no - not sure where you got that idea. I don’t complain about Trump, nor do I praise him. That’s the point. I don’t feel the need to bray in public about who I do and do not support. There are millions of people like this - private. Which is why you simply have no idea who will be voting for him. You act like it’s your right to know, when it’s actually anything but.

Trust me - your silence say a lot. We know...

Clearly, you don’t. You’re going to be just as blindsided in November as you were in 2016. You let your arrogance get the better of you.

Aren’t you exhausted from saying virtually the same thing for the past three years, yet being wrong each and every time?

LOL, + 100

These people (like PP) are truly going off the deep end. Tell us, PP, about what is "going to come out within the next six months," or have the Dems not made it up yet?

+200
“Made it up” being the key words here.

HAHAHA that you're tracking Rose McGowan. Do you put a calendar reminder to check and see if she's moved yet? Get a life.

That’s a mighty strange comment. Do you know what country say, Meryl Streep lives in? Yes? Are you “tracking” her? How about Tom Hanks? Kim Kartrashian? Are you TRACKING THEM??? Wow.
