I was at a Trump rally recently, and when media cameras came around, quite a few people standing in line ducked down out of view.

They explained: “I own a small business. If people see that I went to this rally, my business will be trashed.”

No Hillary supporter has that kind of fear. Well, they may have the fear, but it is without basis: Trump supporters do not destroy the property of the people who vote against Trump. We are civilized. Hillary’s supporters? Vicious, nasty people.

So, yeah, a heck of a lot of Trump supporters are hiding.

Donald Trump will be victorious on Election Day.
We are far more focused and motivated than her supporters.
Rally attendance is clear evidence of the groundswell support.

My employer is pretty darn liberal. If my Conservatism was worn on my sleeve, it would decrease my pay and upward mobility.
It is fun being a deep-undercover Trump supporter. Their pointy heads are going to explode during his smashing victory in two weeks!

I have to hide.

I have learned the hard way to pick my battles.

I live in a flamingly leftist locale (and do not currently have the means to relocate). Being open and candid with such bigots would lose me both my vocation and avocation.

(I once allowed myself - two years ago - to calmly disagree with someone who had aggressively interrupted me, while I was in a private, pre-existing, conversation with one other patron, to tell me very arrogantly that I was wrong in stating that the climate change models’ accuracy were debatable; when I failed to meekly acquiesce, he told me that I was a “terrible person” and that he knew my employer and would get me fired. He tried to do just that. Fortunately, my then-employer was more reasonable than most I have had, and only lectured me on “not engaging” with customers - meaning they could engage with me as much as they wanted.)

I hate it, but there it is:

Advocating for Trump where I live is social suicide.
