At work

Today at work it would have been funny if this was not so dangerous. I work with neo cons I think they all would be called alt right. They were worked up over the debate. They think Don won. They were all saying Hillary needs to be in jail. They then mentioned that the Bush's are not supporting Trump. Then they said something so inane I couldn't believe it. One of them said the bush's were a bunch of communists. That W's administration was way to communist or socialistic. I always write down some stupid comment of the day, like a few weeks ago it was said that they wanted Trump to just be a dictator because it would just be easier. I think it will take something to beat the one from today.

That makes no sense. Sounds like they need a coffee table book: Portraits of life under Dictators.

There could be a section on Pinochet, one on Hitler, one on Ivan the Terrible, etc.

Imagine: Yea... Deprivation for all! USA! USA!

Alternate Reality.

It's not even worth arguing with that kind of stupidity.

They are stubborn things but they do not like facts they go with what they feel. It's from the boss down. I have learned not to say anything because they will gang up against you and they control your raises also. I can't wait until Hillary wins, they are going to be in such misery.

Believe it or not these guys have college degrees. But a complete lack of knowledge past the main courses. Proof that a liberal education makes a more rounded person. And yes that was one of their topics. They thought a liberal college would make them into liberals.
