Come on, Todd, the Cape is the most liberal of all Mass.!

Same thing here. I have some very liberal relatives that were very big Obama and Hillary supporters. I never resorted to attacking them personally or the latter two politicians either. I never referred to Obama by Obummer myself though. However, these liberals constantly refer to Trump as Cheeto man, Orange man and other despicable descriptions of him both in looks and personality. They also attack his supporters in the most hateful way by referring them as racists, etc. There are racists in every political party and for most who support Trump it has nothing to do with racism. It just sickens me the way our country is so divided along political lines these days that many can't be respectful of their fellow Americans when they don't agree with their point of view. I am in my 70's and I have seen such terrible behavior before in my lifetime on this grand of a scale.

Just curious, what is Trump doing in your mind to destroy the middle and lower classes? IMO, quite the opposite is true because for one thing he is doing all he can to rid our country of illegal aliens and deter more from coming here to take middle and lower class income jobs and increase our taxes. Are you in denial of that?

I stopped at a yard sale, had a nice chat about current local affairs, traffic, tourists etc... with 3 people that were running the sale, 2 were soon to be moving to Canada and I made a joke "don't wear your MAGA hat" and that was when it started. I had mistakenly assumed that they were more Republican than Democrat just by the nature of our talk and boy was I wrong.



Luckily unlike some other Liberals that I have met we were able to continue the conversation in a civil way and it was really funny how the Trump supporting woman was egging the Trump hating guy on.



I know it does seem like fiction that 4 people with opposing views on politics can actually have a discussion without resorting to violence but it happens and it did yesterday.
I was asking the CD world if they had similar encounters.
Because it didn’t happen, that’s why.

Denial is NOT a river in Egypt!


OH wait, your Lame Stream Media did NOT show it. No wonder you don't know about it!
I love seeing the unhinged posts of cons.
