There aren't many things more irritating for me these days than to have a conversation with an educated, middle class, rah rah Team Republican fanboy who won't admit that this year his team just sucks. It's like talking to TiR about Carolina.
I had one today who refused to admit that Trump's polling numbers are dismal ("That's just media bias, it's going to be a lot closer than you think")
and because of that, says "A vote for Gary Johnson is really just a vote for Hillary (making the wildly inaccurate assumption that anybody who voted for Johnson would have otherwise voted for Trump),
refused to admit that Trump is probably the worst nominated candidate in the history of the country (he went with the very tired "Well anybody is better than Hillary. She's a crook")
and ended with "It just makes me sick to my stomach to think about four years of Hillary. And her making those Supreme Court appointments is going to be the worst thing to ever happen to this country".
I ended this by laughing and saying, "You know what? You're one of those people who lets talk radio tell you what you think about everything. Turn that shit off and just fucking pay attention. And be a good citizen and just don't vote."
That came from a college educated individual with two teenage daughters. I can't imagine anyone who has a daughter and who isn't an evangelical holy roller not being terrified at the prospect of Pence being the proverbial heartbeat away from the White House. Hell, even without a daughter the prospect terrifies me.
I fucking hate Hillary Clinton, and I never dreamed it was possible but I'd vote for her twice if both times my option was a media whore buffoon like Trump, and/or a religious nutsack like Pence.
