When I talk to a Trump voter, It's like teaching a child the facts of life.

No, Storks do not deliver babies. Mommy and Daddy make babies. The baby grows in mommies belly. Santa Claus is not real and neither is the Easter Bunny. When you fall asleep mommy and daddy put your presents under the tree. The tooth fairy is not real. When you fall asleep mommy and daddy sneak in and put money under your pillow.

Sad but true.

Talking to Trump voters is like teaching a pig to sing, you waste your time and you annoy the pig.

For eight years they never looked at Obama . They just listened to the right ring news media and believed every thing they said about Obama. I am telling you, Trump voters are children.

I have, in the past three days, spoken to a -45 voter but not cultist, a couple of wealthy sort of clued in folks and some 40s-ish professional friends about our situation as a nation. All of them sought my advice and expressed confusion and some partially sound ideas. I hope my perspective helped solidify their decisions on who to vote for. I know all of them will vote so I inserted the "vote blue no matter who" mantra, which some had never heard, liked it.

I told them this IS the fight for our very lives and we'd better not blow it. To which all agreed after this past two weeks. Most are horrified.
