Trump followers are kill-joys.

Today at the clinic where I work, our waiting room was incredibly full because Monday's are just like that. There were perhaps twenty-seven adults, some with kids, waiting for their procedures but they were all talking to each other and laughing, generally in good moods. Then, a middle-aged white man and his wife walked in. He was wearing a Trump cap and a scowl. He checked in and sat down. The room went quiet. Not another laugh, nothing. Just like that.

the situation if the positions had been reversed? The Trump supporters would probably have harassed and threatened the Hillary supporter, not just been quiet.

The energy coming off the Trump couple was so negative and angry. It was like they had a dark cloud following.

walks in and the place goes silent with every worker and customer giving the guy the side-eye ooshka ooshka look.
This is just outside Los Angeles in the very blue San Fernando Valley
GOP can't even make it out of the Primaries here and we always have two Dems facing off now in Nov
Best part was I saw the guy get into a big black pick-up in the parking lot as he left.
It had a "9/11 Was An Inside Job" bumper sticker on it.
Typical Alex Jones listening jerk.
