here but that just gives us a place to vent. Any ideas what we can do to move them? I am becoming really afraid. My neighbor is a smart guy - well educated - has a nice life having had a good job over the years, no layoffs, a lovely home, a well funded retirement and healthy children who are college educated and off on their own.

He told me last night she was going to take his guns. I actually showed him the part of her speech where she said "I don't want to take your guns away". He dismissed it with the statement "well after she is in office she will change her mind and take the guns".

How in the name of all that is holy do you persuade someone like this? It is like they are saying "this is the truth" and then you say "no it isn't and here are the facts that prove it is not" and they say - "well ok but it will be the truth later" Christ on a Cracker - how do you get someone like this to face the facts about Trump?

My frustration level is off the charts. I swear God could appear with a video of him killing and eating a baby and they would shrug it off.
