Yes, but we haven't talked politics.

Yes, and he seemed to want to avoid politics like the Plague.

Because understanding how other human beings think and feel is the only way I can hope to become a better person.

Also, in liberal circles, the few Trump supporters tend to be more reasonable, like the woman I mentioned in the OP.

I like to think that the vast majority of T***p supporters are nothing like the rage-filled bigots we tend to see on TV. Those may be the loudest, but that doesn't mean they're representative.

Then why do they support a rage filled bigot?

That's what I'd like to find out. There are many hypotheses that could and have been made, and I have my opinions on which are more or less plausible, but a good start would be to simply ask.

Well hard for me to know when "all liberal all the time" is a literal description of my social circle and my workplace is so full of sons and daughters of refugees (Asians like pharmacy might sound like a stereotype...but it's actually true. At least Hmong.)

That's exactly the same for me. The difference is that I'm not proud of it.

LA? Jesus Christ live in some working class/ areas of LA, you'll have a good mix of Latians, whites, some blacks, and asians. It's still democratic, the whites (from when I lived there) used to vote democratic, though a fair few switched to Trump. Being LA, the majority of whites still voted for Clinton, going for personal experience.

It's probably a trash hole, but it's a lovely trash hole.

Even in Westwood and the UCLA campus you can find Trump supporters. I probably live in one of the biggest liberal bubbles on this site (not particularly proud of that, but whatever), and I've been able to talk to a few Trump voters since the election. Even then, if someone really wanted to talk to Trump supporters in LA, apparently Milo's coming to UCLA Tongue

It's not only a matter of where I live, but also of how my life is structured. I don't take part in any of the activities where you meet strangers - partly because interaction with strangers still causes me a good deal of anxiety, and party because I simply don't enjoy most such activities. So the only people I get to know are those I have to spend time with, ie people in the Poli Sci department. If there are any T***p supporters there, I have yet to know them well enough to have a political discussion with them.

I'm a normal person, so I have lots of friends with differing political views.

Of course, a lot of my close friends and my family are liberal. My grandparents for example, have never voted for a Republican before.

Yes, most of my family. My uncle doesn't like the "how's that whole draining the swamp?" comments because he is not amused with the nominations.
