Yes, most of my dad's family and some of my mom's, although the latter are mostly retired or dead.

There's no "No" votes, because Snowstalker was already banned.

I voted "No" and it's the truth.

Yes, several. One example that is relevant to Atlas: last summer, I talked to the men who remodeled my family's home. All of them said that they despised Donald Trump (this was shortly after he announced his campaign), and all but one of them (a Latino) were white men - including the general contractor.

Many of my cousins (my mom was the first in our family to 'get out', as it were, although I try not to think of it that way). Also I have an acquaintanceship with some of the janitors at my school; they're mostly standard-issue Boston Irish, but one of them is an immigrant from Argentina. They joked about Trump deporting him for supporting Argentina over the United States in the Copa América. Normally this would have upset me a lot to hear, but in context, he was laughing with them and they clearly weren't buying what Trump was selling. I'm pretty sure they're unionized. Most of them are probably ready for Hillary.

I made a mental note today that my coworkers were literally wearing blue collars as part of their work uniforms.
