7. Is it productive or counter-productive to say something so controversial...

...and divisive?

I have debated with myself about whether it would serve any positive purpose to be so straight-forward and honest about them voting for someone to "shake up Washington"?

It has become obvious over time that silence only encourages them in their cult-like obeisance to their leader. They further divide our nation and attack those that disagree with them even more ferociously.

I think they need to know that we know. They are deceiving no one except themselves.
