I have three in my family like that. Maybe more - they're just smarter & keep quiet about their views.

They have been brainwashed to hate everything liberal, leftist & socialist, even though two are already enjoying social security & Medicare & the other is about six years away from it. Interesting that they're FB posts are not about the great things the Con has done, but still harping on HRC & why she isn't being investigated. They are delusional. A true part of his base and will always vote republican.

his supporters have been brainwashed for a very long time. What do they call it "gas lighting". No one is open to the facts and truth anymore. Horrible so much hate and division.

At least the trend is in the right direction. Getting people off their default setting takes some doing. Keep reminding them what a feckless dimwit Trump is, and the numbers will keep getting better.
