Curious about who is a stealth/silent Trump supporter at your job or with your family and why?

My parents are terrified that my dad won’t be able to get a new job in an economy run by Dems (he’s trying to find a better fit now as his work culture is pretty toxic). They are ex-military and it was incredibly hard during the recession for my dad to find steady employment after he retired from the military, despite the fact that he was qualified and even over-qualified for the roles he was applying too (Yes, I realize that over-qualification can work against you when applying for jobs. And yes, it was a recession. My understanding is that they think Obama’s polices made it worse.). As a result they had to burn through a lot of life savings and honestly the whole thing was traumatic for them, me and my siblings. Even though now, objectively, we’re all doing ok, they will have to work hard just to enjoy retirement years, unless my siblings and I do well enough in the coming years to support them. There was a lot of fear about what would happen. And it just seemed so unfair because my parents worked very hard and are responsible people. I think there are plenty of families who have it worse, so big picture it’s hard to justify focusing solely on those fears versus the way this country treats the poor when voting. (And that’s probably not the entire story anyways for who they choose to vote for.) I am liberal-leaning, fiscally and socially, but I don’t believe that Democrat’s care about military members or their families, not really. Ironically though, I think policies like UBI, which lean liberal, could have given our family some comfort that we couldn’t lose everything during that time.

Kpmg - lol care to elaborate?

My uncle because he is Puerto Rican and is the most racist person towards Puerto Rican.

I wouldn't call him stealthy, but he doesnt speak much about it anymore.

This hurts lol because I know so many Latinos who are super racist toward their own people. I think they feel it's a blank check to be awful.

Trump supporters are stealth because the vitriol they are subjected to is unwanted. They do not want their friends to hate them and they do not want to hate their friends. There was a time when etiquette called for avoiding talk of politics and religion. We’re headed back there through hard experience. This time, driven by the left’s over the top hatred for the right.

Why are they Trump supporter or why are they stealthy? Please clarify your question.

OP got it so you're asking the stealth side, not necessarily the for trump side.

I'm voting for Trump, but it's really an Anti-Biden vote (as the Democrat party goes against many of my core beliefs: abortion, taxes, big govt).

That said, I don't talk about it at work specifically because of how one-sided this industry is. I sat on a call where a co-worker called all Texans bigots, racists and homophobes, and majority of people ~25-30 person call) agreed. That wasnt even in relation to Trump. I don't feel like hearing what those same people will call me for voting for Trump. Further, we rely on connections to get staffed on projects- I don't want to inhibit my future because people can't bifurcate work and politics.

TL;DR leave politics out of work, it's not worth it

Hi all,

Looking for a little help on developing a website prototype to test (app too if possible). I need:

A backend that allows for volunteers to add their availability hours (something like Calendly integration), short bio, profile pic etc

A front end that requires users to sign up, and then lets them directly sign up with the volunteers.

I looked at Wix online booking system but you can only schedule staff by working hours. Built sites on WP before but lacking in time currently.

If the average person is not educated or literate in politics or history, is it actually good for us to push so hard for voter turnout? Should we really be encouraging more people to vote even if they aren’t informed at all?
