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.
Yeah, you’re definitely a meddling drama queen, or hired Trump Troll. Don’t let your arrogance get the best of you. Don’t try to prioritize other people’s priorities. Don’t be a hypocrite. Don’t want to be traa was Syed like a trumpster for your belief, then don’t act like one.

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.

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?
You're ashamed to own your vote publicly, and you should be.
DP. You misunderstand. The PP isn’t “ashamed” of anything. S/he simply knows when to stay away from crazy. Weren’t you ever taught not to discuss politics (or religion) in polite company? Or maybe it’s just that the company you keep isn’t polite.

Nobody but my husband knows I’m voting for Trump. I like to nod and smile along with what the liberals I know say, so maybe they think I’m one of them. But I’m most definitely not. Politics just isn’t an appropriate topic in public, and I do get a kick out of knowing exactly what I’m going to do when no one else does.

What's worse is that they've done the cost analysis and it doesn't save $$ for the gov to move from DC, but they will do it anyway and lose the expertise and the convenience of working with other agencies all to buy votes.
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?
Honestly, none of it. Most suspect would be a government agency projecting costs of another government agency. You can get jobs data from other indicators, just as you can get economic numbers. As for weather, nobody relies on the government directly for that anymore, except for maybe hurricanes, and even that is predicted more accurately anyhow. The government generally sucks at most of what it does, so it is best to avoid the government being involved in anything.

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 says 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.

I'm also black, and I hear that sentiment all the time. Even my 83-year old (very young at heart and physically agile) aunt says the same thing.
Sadly, what I saw in Richmond (as the gun toting 2nd amendment went into the Capitol with weapons of war), it definitely makes you think long and hard. Open season? I don't think so.
