    I know a number of committed Hillary supporters. In general they have not appreciated my attempts to point out her flaws. I've unfollowed a number of them on Facebook because despite our disagreement on this topic I would like to remain friends with them. Once the election is over I will probably re-follow most of them. In the meantime our interactions will mainly consist of them commenting on the nearly daily pictures I post of my cat. (He wants to do his part to rectify the shortage of cute cat pictures online...)

    Guess your hopes of violence didn't pan out....

    Our formerly close friends, a gay couple, are coming to visit from California where they moved a few years ago ( that's why we are no longer close.) One of them has already warned that discussion of politics is off limits. So we are forewarned! He and our mutual close friend had a little tiff on FB. One of the couple often votes Republican but this time he is not and I wont blame him for that. I do treasure the Log Cabin Republicans.

    My father and his husband have generally voted Republican, but they will not be doing so this time. I have trouble imagining any member of the LGBTQ... community doing so for the foreseeable future.

    You spelled "crooked" wrong.

    I'm cynical enough to generally practice the LO2E philosophy. However, this year there's more in Heaven and Earth than was dream't of in my philosophy, and I have to account for equivalent magnitudes of evil.

    I will add in The Donald's favor that there is a fair amount of evidence he was friendly to gay issues before this political run. He evolved before Barack Obama, and he is a generation older than our enlightened President.

    Well, there was that one guy who set himself on fire trying to burn the flag. One of those brutal cops said "You're on fire, stupid". That was sort of violent.

    Who does your cat plan to vote for? I've heard the feline demographic polls favorable for fishy candidates.
