is like that. There are many many people--even a lot that voted for Orangeutan--that are either already on our side or headed this way because of what they see. Poking the ones that literally wear their affection for him on their chest is not very helpful in most cases, and in every case they are not the people we need to win over. I try my best to use respect and thoughtfulness to sway those I feel I can reach, and I leave the rest alone. They are not worth it; any of it. And yes, there are so many times where refraining is nearly impossible. I do get that.
