S/o do you know IRL people supporting Trump openly?

[osulori]

No, thankfully. Any of my friends who are Republicans who post about politics have already said they're either not voting or voting for anyone but Trump (Hillary, 3rd party candidate, the guy next door, whatever)

[SJ]

Not one

[mrssandro]

Some Texans really hate him. But they have to vote for his party.

I have seen a few people in my feed who have liked some pro Trump posts. I try to ignore and block it from my mind.

My brother texted my whole family the other day at 7 a.m. to tell us he has to vote for Trump because HRC would put him at risk as a member of the armed forces and a policeman. I muted the conversation because my brother is volatile.

[snshne322]

Beyond Facebook? No. At least no one who will admit it. I have a few suspicions though. I did overhear a woman at dinner last night stating that she wanted politicians out and a business man in. Ugh.

[usuallylurking]

Yes. And they're a pretty well known small business owner in their (not huge) town. And "like" things frequently on Facebook, which have public settings, and everyone can see. I'm appalled at how there is no consideration for potential fall out/business loss. (Never mind the other obvious reasons for being appalled, lol)

[anna7602]

I saw one post on FB this morning by someone I know IRL that is ambiguous. I really can't tell if he is voicing support for Trump or saying "we need to address the concerns of Trump supporters so he doesn't win the election."

[Yankees21]

One of my old friend's mom (we are friends on Facebook) and she is the sweetest person. I really don't get it.

[scm1011]

My boss, who I'm normally a big fan of. He says Trump is the only sane choice  

[Deleted]

Yes, they are all over my city. Sigh.

We aren't close with any though, but we do interact with them.

[anna7602]

Also, I know many Republicans, including family, and not a single one supports Trump. There are, however 11 people in my voting district who voted for Trump in the primary and DH and I have spent a long time speculating about who among our neighbors could be one of these eleven.

[CheeringCharm]

Some people in DH's extended family. They drive me crazy. There is no reasoning with them and they're elderly anyway so we don't discuss politics.

[Bernadine]

Yes, I absolutely do. I live in a very conservative area, and come from a very conservative family. Honestly, it's really wearing on me.

[mpc]

I think my uncle and cousin. And actually quite a few of my family members might end up on that train. This is the first election where I really feel the need to reevaluate people based on who they are voting for.

ETA: also, my husband   He's actually pretty anti-trump, but he is so so much more anti-hillary that I'm pretty sure he will vote for trump when it comes down to it. I'm so ashamed. I will do my best of the next 6 months to bring him around.

I can think of at least two people - my i-banker douchey neighbor and my friend's husband who is a military reservist and is very bootstrappy. both are white males and both seem to think that more "racism" is thrown their way than at actual minorities.

Were they part of the Starbucks anti-affirmative action conversation? Because if not, it's very, very unfortunate that you know such a high number of racist pricks.

[Willis Jackson]

No, thank god.

[Deleted]

no. We were looking at a rental property recently and the yard across the street had a Trump sign. tbh, it was a factor in not putting in an offer.

[bazinga]

Nope.

[Brie]

Our neighbor across the street has a Trump bumper sticker. I've never spoken to him IRL and have to resist the urge to intentionally ram his car every time I drive by.

I know lots of Rs IRL, but they are all jumping on various third party candidate trains.

[bcarp30]

One is openly supporting him and another just likes his posts and his page. The latter is an anti-vaxxer but a very good friend and I'm so surprised. She's also quite religious and I don't understand how she can like Trump but be compassionate.

[elleblue]

Only two that are open about their support. Both former coworkers - we were tour guides at the Maus Haus together. Both post ridiculous and blatantly unfactual memes but I keep them around because I want to see the ridiculousness that the pro-Trump people are peddling.

[Jalapeñomel]

I'm sure my dad will vote for him. He doesn't care who is running, he will vote blindly for any Republican, especially over HRC.

[niq]

Only a couple of relatives. Most of the ones who are pro-Trump supported Carson until he dropped out.

[boiler717]

I am certain my parents are. I speak out against Trump all the time and they wouldn't say who they voted for. They do lots of Hillary bashing, too.

[kangaroo11]

One FB friend is very very conservative, so I assume he will be going that way.

A guy a work probably as well. He's an immigrant (European), super racist, and former military (got citizenship through service).

[thebreakfastclub]

I am sure a lot of people at my old job did. He promised to bring coal back, and they are desperate to believe this. It would save the failing company.

Outside of that, no. H's good friend and his wife were big Ted Cruz fans. I have no interest in discussing it with them further.

[noodleskooze]

My stepmom. She's basically the female version of him, so OF COURSE.

[thejackpot]

Nope. Not a one.

[bunnymendelbaum]

Yes, two.

My dumbest, meanest, most racist lazy Uncle and my DH's dumbest, meanest, most racist asshole Uncle.

And I'm not trying to be mean here, but some of the other distant relatives that support him are really some of the dumbest people I know. That seems to be his base.

[miamigirl]

No one.
