I haven't heard a word except from one person who I know hates Trump.
On Wednesday I turned on MSNBC in the lunchroom, as Taylor was testifying. Everyone who came in for lunch watched for a while.
But not a word about anything political anywhere else. Not sure if people don't care or they are just being very careful.

(63,221 posts)I have my ideas about who is on our side and who isn't, but I have often been surprised - both ways. In New York, people would have been much more vocal, but here in the Boston office people are very reluctant to openly express their political views.

(218 posts)They say nothing, and we do not say anything in front of them. Neither are politically savvy or aware. So, I have no clue what they think about all this. Only one is a little politically aware. It is mostly me telling them what is up.

(47,558 posts)The highest-up of the higher-ups had family who worked in the Nixon administration. He's 90-ish and in the fifteen years I've been there, I've never heard him talk politics, and I talk to him every day. (His office is across the hall from mine, and we can see each other if we're both leaning back.)
The low-info voters who vote republican (and the idiots who would be low-info voters if they voted) have stopped bringing up politics around me. They know that I know that they don't know, you know?
