Right now, they are refusing to even discuss politics with me; they won't take my bait. It's very interesting. My hubby and I turned to each other when DimSon was sailing into office, and basically predicted what would happen economically. Hubby had been in the oil and gas industry before he came to the Light, and, many years ago, I had done a ten-year or so stint in the defense contractor industry (became I went to the Light). So, we protected ourselves in a timely fashion. Others trusted DimSon and Co., despite our warnings, and now they are experiencing horrible financial ramifications (e.g. losing their homes, having trouble feeding their kids). When I give them food (I belong to a food coop, and just always happen to have extra), and I mutter about the attack on the middle class I worried about (and I mutter 'SON-OF-A-BLEEP'), they just giggle and look down, sigh. That's some neighbors. I also talk to various conservative. I would say, in total, they are confused by what has happened (and ill-informed).
