So I was in Barnes and Noble the other day...

...and my brother called and told me he didn't realize the RNC had been going on that week and I said, "You aren't missing anything. Just Joanie Loves Chaci calling Obama a Muslim and a lot of other general insanity." My brother started laughing but I said this as some guy was walking by--yeah, that guy, the guy you never see in B/N: white, baseball cap with racing logo, checkered shirt. He looked at me hard as I said this.

Later when I went and got a coffee he sat at a table two rows over and kept staring at me with this angry look on his face. Just say it, I thought. Finally while he was staring at looked up at him and said, "What?" He turned away and then got up and stormed out. I was having a good time but maybe I could have been shot.

This is the pattern of the closet "Trump" supporters. They know they'll face ridicule on some level if they acknowledge their support but they stroke it like a forbidden closeted fetish. When I was still sitting in university classes two months ago, even the Republican students would tell you how much they didn't like Hillary but if you asked them if they supported Trump, they would say they supported Rubio. I'd say, "Didn't he get knocked out a month ago?"
