    It’s times like this where I sometimes feel people need a license to surf the internet.

    Following the Debate I had a Trump supporter come to my door. We have yard signs but, uh, the dude went a step deeper and knew our names. Weird but okay I guess that shit is publicly available in registration dbs after all…

    Anyways, he seemed innocent enough but boy would he hop skip around point to point. Just as you corner on one thing, they jump to the next. “I’ll show you the source on my phone!” yet he wouldn’t and jumped to the next subject. I asked him to identify his sources for information and he dodged that as well, just vaguely alluding to, “googling.” Really fascinating and kind of fun to interact. I can see why Klepper does it so much lol.

    On the flip-side it’s just a bit sad to see people who seem like decent people but are completely led astray and living in an alternative reality. “You’ve been… Living in a dreamworld, Neo.”
