"Like, duh! Like, you can't find out, like, who someone is, or, like, where they live and work, like, just from their phones!"

We do know that tens of thousands of Trump voters last time had no signs, no bumper stickers, never went to a rally, and voted for him in secret. Many, apparently, told no one of their intentions. Now that the madness and rightthink, doxxing brats are loose on the countryside, it's a perfectly reasonable hypothesis to expect a great many, perhaps more, are keeping their intentions to themselves again.

I've already said that I don't intend to put out a Trump sign this year because political feelings are so out of control. I would love to go to a Blue Lives Matter or Trump rally but won't because of the violence but I'll be at the polls at 6 am come election day.

And yes - 2016 was a fail for Democrats as Hillary was suppose to crush Trump - and that didn't happen but keep trying to convince yourselves otherwise.

I suspect there are millions like you. I wouldn't discount that many of them are doing it also in part to derive great joy for the impending meltdowns when libs realize they once again were duped by the polls and political soothsayers.

During our walk through and stuff, the husband kept trying to draw me into a political discussion. He's totally into Trump. His wife and I kept ignoring him and when that didn't work we told him we just live our lives no matter who is in office.

In real life, I never share my political view. Ever. I refuse to let people know what I believe.

No one can accuse me of bias when choosing tenants. I had half a dozen applicants to choose from for that house.

The point is you claim that there might be a lot of conservatives that don't share their political views. What about all the liberals like myself who never share our political views?




I've never met a Liberal who doesn't share his political views.

This is an anonymous forum, and the MAGAs have absolutely no qualms about telling us what they think. Boy, do they tell us! No shyness here!

Which is why this snowflaky "fear" within the anonymity of a polling phone call, doesn't ring true.

Only a tiny percentage of internet forum visitors actually post something. Poor example. You're looking at the small group of Americans willing to share their political opinions in public.

They are not sharing their political opinions in public on this forum, they are anonymous. Just like people in polls are anonymous. Which is why I don't buy this sudden fainting Trump population who is too meek to support their candidate anonymously.

This is just another rightwing excuse as to why Trump is down so far in the polls.

Funny how you jumped from "When you say something that a leftist disagrees with, you don't know how far they will go" to being a victim of an imaginary carjacker.

I sure do, and I'm glad you had to go back 2 months to find something to prove my point.

IHMO...all this polls are nothing more than spewing junk data. And I think the Democrat hierarchy knows it too!
