He was a nice guy, actually.
The guy said "Trump is going to win, unless they totally throw the election with this mail in crap."
I just didn't respond. I've gotten to be pretty ok with the awkward silence.
I think that it's hard to over-estimate the brainwashing that Fox viewers get. Now, I also think that there is some brainwashing on the left. But, nothing like what goes on at Fox. The left, by and large, presents news that is colored by their world view. The right, actively participates in the distortion of reality. This guy thinks that the majority of Americans like Trump and that any poll saying otherwise is a product of the lamestream media.
If Trump loses, be prepared for the outrage. It will be visceral.

There's a lot of anger out there in Trumpland. If he wins, the election was fair and balanced. If he loses, he wuz robbed! A neighbor of mine is a Trumper and we don't discuss politics anymore. He worked for a contractor who did a lot of government work but yet hated government while he was feeding in the public trough. And I wonder why China and Russia would waste their time trying to bring down our democracy, when some of us seem to be doing a fine job of doing it in house?
