33. I live in the bluest area of a very blue state, so it's not as easy to gauge things like this.

However, if "watercooler" conversations in the workplace are an indication, where I work, the number of former Trump voters has dwindled considerably. Every Trump supporter who openly said that's who they were voting for has said they're off him now, and while RFK Jr was in, he was an option for about half of them, but now that he's out, it looks like they will either vote for Harris or just not go to the polls.

I've never been able to understand how in the world anyone with any ability to perform simple tasks could consider RFK Jr as a viable candidate. So, I asked. What these people believed, and what was actually the real truth, were widely separated. I made a point to get the scoop on the guy, including video. At first, they were disturbed, then they went back into their "fake news" mode. I challenged them to prove their view wasn't the fake one and said I'd accept and believe what they told me if they could prove it. They couldn't, but I could tell they didn't want to accept the truth.
