Had a FB friend post one of those articles about Donald Trump being a liar and a fraud and the other usual stuff. So I took those words and inserted Hilary Clintons name and asked the poster wasn't the same true of Hilary? We then got into a discussion about the merits of the Demoncrats over the Republicans with the poster saying that Democrats favor the lessor members of our society, while the Republicans are only for the Rich. So I pointed that almost all member of Congress are Millionaires and Hillary Clinton is herself part of the top 2%. The poster said, but Trump will raise taxes and I replied that Hilary will too and what exactly is "rich" and how will Clinton define it. I allowed that while the Democrats used to represent the working man, coud she in fact name one thing that Democrats, specificially Obama had done for the working man? and in fact could she identify anything that Obama had done for the working man, outside of Obamacare and the mess it has turned out to be.
So then she said "I'm not going to argue with you. I made an educated decision about who I will vote for and that is what I am going to do!!
I really can't understand why Hillary supporters get huffy and angry when I start to drill down on exactly what is going to be done for the mythical working man that Democrats look out for. (She'll probably unfriend me now, as a couple of other people have done).
I use the same tactic on the anti gun people and it usually ends up about the same. (and a couple of other people have unfriended me because of that too.)
I really don't mean to be obnoxious, because I am always interested in how people come to the conclusions they do. It's kind of a hobby of mine.
I asked another question last week - about how poeple have become rabid dogs about this election, and the nastiness that falls from their brains into their fingers onto FB. So I asked if anyone thought that these people would go back to being the sane, pleasant people they used to be, or having let that guard down and everyone seeing how they really are - would they just stay out of the box.
