"I Can't believe I'm sitting next to a Republican"

Ex-CNN reporter Michelle Kosinski wrote in a Sunday social media post that she was surprised by how “normal” a group of “closeted” Trump supporters seemed at a dinner she attended, which she said continues to “haunt” her.
“All were well-educated and successful in careers. They seemed great! On the surface. For like an hour. But slowly, over a few drinks, they began to let slip their true MAGA natures,” Kosinski wrote.
Kosinski, a former correspondent for both CNN and NBC News, wrote that one couple in the group wouldn’t allow their kids to apply to Ivy League universities, but were “weird” about explaining their reasoning. Others used air-quotes while talking about climate change.
“The others—when they realized that a few in their presence came armed with (gasp) actual facts (NO!)—quickly changed the subject and nervously said they don’t want to talk politics. They realized they would be eviscerated on all idiotic points, especially on the economy,” Kosinski said.
Kosinski said it was funny how “extremist” or “wrong” beliefs can leak out from those who you least expect, but warned, “they are out there.”
“This dinner continues to haunt me. They all seemed so… normal. When I asked the couple who were my old friends how THEY didn’t know, they said that in their upscale FL neighborhood, people are extremely careful not to ever broach or debate the subject. This is not healthy,” Kosinski continued in her thread. …

This is the famous CNN reporter in a canoe after the hurricane, and two guys walked by in ankle deep water.

She was in no ways tired.
She is a buffoon.
I'll bet everybody she knows voted for Biden. And Hillary.
And carries hot sauce in her purse.
When I worked at the Pentagon, one of my co-workers got to work one monring the same time I did. He looked at my bumper sticker and said while pointing at the sticker "you're not one of them, are you?" I said take a closer look at the sticker and once he di, he laughed and approved of the sticker.
If this is real, it would be ineresting if one of those people who “haunt” her would sit down and write a response to her.
Pretty much! These people are juvenile…stuck in grade school!
"I Can't believe I'm sitting next to a Republican"
😂🤣😂🤣😍 she is such a loser they just had to trot her out again!
Retard.
The poor dear!
Unapproved opinions?
She’d better run to detox.
Dummie lives in an echo chamber.
She is full of it. In this country, white liberals (especially women) are the worst kinds of people. Absolutely arrogant and at the same time hopelessly stupid.
Emasculated white males are pretty bad too.
"Weird"? Applying to the Ivy League these days would be weird and at variance with getting a good education.
Michelle has been a professional fabulist for decades, now.

With very few exceptions (and I do know one or two), it is impossible to have a polite conversation with a progressive about politics. Most (not all) move quickly to accusations of racism, homophobia, and the usual list of isms and phobias and then you are excluded from their social circle.
So why bother? Maybe some are redeemable. But I don’t spend time anymore trying to get through the 500 who are not for every one that manages to be civil.
And in groups, they are even worse.
So the author is shocked that normal people don’t want to deal with a self-righteous, hectoring political harpy?
“If this is real, it would be ineresting if one of those people who “haunt” her would sit down and write a response to her.”
Why bother? It’s a waste of time. And if she’s sleeping with the right IRS agent, it could get you audited.
