They are not my opposition. They are family and friends, and


quite honestly, they aren't too bright. I could bs and say all of my family and friends are brilliant, but they aren't. These particular family (specifically a woman through a family member's marriage) and some of my HS friends are surrounded by rednecks, unfortunately, and get bombarded with a particular point of view and Fox. Several are living paycheck to paycheck, and they do not realize for example that the latest tax plan will likely be funded by SS and Medicare reform that could make them work until they die.

I have other friends in that situation who vote Dem, by the way.

Better to focus on telling the truth loudly, but politely (less aggressively than a message board), and convincing all of those middle of the road voters who were too lazy to vote in 2016.
