He told me last night he's voting for HRC, because it might not make a difference for him as a white CIS-male, he definitely realizes it would be dangerous for women and minorities. Score 1 point for the good guys.
Aw yay. He's one of the good guys.
I've seen honest faces before. They usually come attached to liars.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Good for EMTGuy! And good for you for persuading him, Maria. Saner heads do sometimes prevail.,

YEah- it is discouraging. This person generally has an open, logical mind, but he is using his logic illogically. Or something.
Yeah, there's no openness or logic there. He's not using his brain. He's made up his mind and is using insane troll logic to justify his decision.
That is why I asked that question on FB yesterday. It was an interesting discussion. I don't think anyone's minds were changed, but I appreciate all who contributed.
It was civil and interesting and made me want to cry because it scared me to pieces. I've got a neuroatypical queer child. This is not the world I want for her.

My opinion of one of my uncles has taken a serious plunge upon finding out that he's a vocal Trump supporter. How he reconciles that with being an evangelical minister who does mission work among the needy in Indonesia completely escapes me. My Sunday school must not have gotten the Bibles where Jesus instructed his followers to look out for #1.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Yeah, the thing that stops me from trying to have a civil conversation on FB is that I would be heartbroken to learn that any of my relatives, who are generally a pretty great bunch, were planning to vote for Trump.

I'm not on Facebook ... which at this point I'm kind of glad about.
Here's a news item ... I'm not sure if it's for real or not.

Gud, all my ~ma.
um ... it's not something I talk about a lot, but I made a couple of suicide attempts when I was young - once when I was 16 and the first when I was 10. We always had pills around and I used them. I grew up without complications, but it sounds like your daughter's attempt was more serious than mine.
I just wanted to let you know that there can be life afterwards.
