like your neighbor. I swear this trump phenomenon is different than anything I have ever seen in my life. It's truly like these people are under a spell or hypnotized.. seriously. Typically sound minded people are believing ALL of it and are 100% adamant and 100% dug in. Like a force has taken over their minds. I was just reading suggestions on how to deal with these people. Think a lot of it points to the fact that there is no single source of information that most all people believe. It's really sad.
