I can usually spot the stream of drool a few yards out.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

i feel like really the best way to find out is to ask them
Not really, my parents voted for him twice, and will vote for him again, but they are very careful around me to act like they would not.
"Well, they're all pretty bad" seems to me to mean "I vote against my self interests"
yeah, that's code for the "both sides" argument.
It's a funny thing to watch, people that want to like T but don't want to be associated with the absolute chucklefucks that make up the red cap contingent amonst them, so it ends up this "yeah, but shhh!" kind of state.
'I hate poor people, minorities, and immigrants, but I don't want anyone to know that!"
Well, they know you're intelligent...
While, there are outliers, it's pretty easy to trip up a Trumpet into revealing they're a Trumper.
One of my go to's is to make a statement the seems to support Trump but get a detail wrong. A Trumper will immediately correct you
And you call yourself reality boy? Clearly your parents are creating a fantasy for you.
Knowing that my father voted for trump twice doesn't feel nice. Luckily I live in a different country.
To be clear, the article is talking about correlations in polling, not suggesting you strike up conversations with your neighbors.
not suggesting you strike up conversations with your neighbors.
I don't know, maybe we should be doing that more often...
With people getting shot for knocking on a door? No thank you.
not suggesting you strike up conversations with your neighbors
oh thank god
there has to be a “who fid you vote for” poll to correlate against, no?
