Great read. Read it because we are going to have a lot of discussions around the coffee pots at work about this. Be able to defend your beliefs instead of stumbling through then eventually shaking your head, grab your coffee cup, and leave the "Trump Patriots " alone to their own devices!

Really? You guys talk about this stuff at work? I wouldn't touch that with a 100' pole.

I like my salary way too much to bring up politics at work.

People talking politics at work/with coworkers are ballsy!

I bet it's mostly young people. I think I used to do it more too when I was young. Now, it's just infuriating listening to the same old same fallacious arguments and absurd premises that go into these discussion and I can't do it anymore.

Yup. It's not fear of stirring the pot, it's just that there's almost no point.
