Very comprehensive and accurate post, Netz.
Count me as a highly-educated professional who likes Donald Trump.
In my circles it is considered "fashionable" to be against Donald Trump, even though the person may agree with all of Donald Trump's viewpoints.
The social media meme of Trump supporters being racist/provincial/dumb is trite and tiresome.

That is why when discussions turn to politics at family events, parties with friends, etc. my technique is to explain viewpoints calmly and briefly...then disengage.

My feeling is once this respectful, mannerly, and decent "Silent Majority" enters the privacy of the voting booth...Donald Trump will win in a landslide. His straightforward policies make complete sense to honorable Americans.

It is difficult in mixed circles to say you support Trump. It is not fashionable or politically Correct and besides, once you say it, you are seen as a primitive, dumb*ss.

I do try to persuade people but on a very logical basis. I always ask my opponents if they think the last 8 years have been good or bad for America. Only the die-hard, ultra lefties defend Obama to their last breath. The more sober among them look down at their shoes and reluctantly nod their heads in agreement.

I hope the “Silent Majority” and the denial Republicans turn around and come on in November to hand Hilliary a devastating defeat.
