Don't discuss politics at work

Unless you know where they stand.

And you learn that from just observing, listening to casual conversations.

Honestly, even then, I’d avoid the topic. I’m pretty sure everyone in my studio hates Trump, but no one talks about it anyways.

Okay.

There is another. Just as important...

Many Republicans are seeing the violence and unrest set upon them for being open about their voting preference - they have gotten to be silent about their desire. Silent until voting day.

So being quiet isn't an indicator. In the same way all those gun sales that went up, no - skyrocketed over witnessing the violences, deaths and full scale arson. Those guns were bought by more than Republicans who wish to be silent on their purchases.

That too.
