They are so angry, that's what I notice. Angry at everyone! My cousin, who has been a rwnj for a long time now, has gotten significantly worse since president shithole came to office. He used to post right wing crap with no comment. Now he always comments & it's always angry & rude. He always denigrates liberals. Always. It's the hateful left. the lying left, they hypocritical left, the destructive left. I unfriended him when he trolled my page, reposted my stuff on his page & then he & his friends piled on about how awful libtards are. He had a wonderful girlfriend, but she dumped him because of his negativity. He used to be a nice guy but now he's full of hate. And anger, lots of anger. There are other trumpers in my life, but they aren't as bad as this one. This one is addled with religion, so I think that is a factor, too. He feels persecuted, because, you know, a cake.

Yes, it is very difficult to stay calm and sweet-natured in the presence of such hostility.

Yeah. A lot of misplaced anger. Not one person working the polls was remotely threatening...

Vote or pay a penalty on taxes. Allow a "none of the above " choice but make people vote

I expect similar things next week. I voted absentee today to leave next Tuesday free.
