Kevin, you have no idea the energy and angst you've wasted trying to goad me into praising or slamming Trump. Give it up. It isn't worth your time.

Then you have no business reacting to any of my posts. Especially the constant "Kevin thinks" or "Kevin says" bullshit.
Like Trump, you hate to read. I get it. But that means you're not entitled to comment on what you should have read, but didn't.
Kevin, I liken many of your posts to the supposed JFK movie which many called a documentary. I never watched the movie, but a friend assured me of how the assassination was a government conspiracy, which was proven, in part, within the "documentary" showing the eastern seaboard going dark shortly before the assassination. The "documentary showed that this outage not only turned all lights off, but also eliminated communication capabilities which lead to security confusion. Well, they lied. The East went dark seven hours later than they showed in the movie, and well after the assassination. Once I learned about this lie, I decided that there was no reason to see this "documentary".
Kevin, that’s how I often feel like after reading the first sentence of one of your rants. The first sentence is often so outlandish, that I find no reason to read on.

It's not a lot of trouble, Candy. And it's quite obvious whose side you're on. Certainly, it's your choice re who and what you want to support. I'm just disappointed; but then, I'm disappointed that the horrid piece of filth has an approval rating of 39% rather than 0%; I'm disappointed that so many people voted for the filth; and I'm disappointed that he's surrounded by lackeys and enablers who apparently, have no moral compass.
Compared to all that, my disappointment in you is trivial. You're not obligated to please me, though, in any event, so rock on. Be sure to vote in November! (Use a mail-in ballot!)

That's your choice, but you very often follow that up by criticizing me for things I never said.
You want a movie analogy? You're like a movie critic who only watches the first five minutes of a movie, walks out, and then writes a column about how terrible the movie was.

Kevin, one lie in the first minute of a "documentary" is enough for me.
For Kevin Lewis or anyone else who may be interested:
I'm in my 70s. My parents modeled some behaviors that I still go with. Among them are that you don't talk about how much you make (salary), you don't talk about how much you paid for your house, and you don't talk about whom you vote for President. Those may be old timey beliefs, but they are ingrained in me to this day.
Silence is golden.
We voted absentee several times just to avoid the long lines, but now early voting takes care of that problem.
We have a very good state newspaper with an outstandingly balanced editorial section. I don't agree with all the contributors but I read them all, and read every letter to the editor, which are very mixed in opinions (and often very entertaining). At election time (local, county, state, and the big one) the editorial section gives "their" choices for the candidates (or a "for/against" election), with explanations of why. As elections draw near opinion pieces may waver on how this candidate is standing on this or that burning (or just simmering) issue, or a surprising action or position one has taken. I'm always interested in their choices, especially if I am undecided. I don't always go with "their" candidate, but I do wait for those days leading up to the election to read what they settled in on and why. That's my process.
''I'm in my 70s.''
Whoa.....

These days, though, the choice between Democrat and Republican is a clear choice between good and evil. The only time anyone should even briefly consider voting for a Republican is when that person openly and unequivocally repudiates Trump. He/she might also mention that he/she will NOT work solely to further enrich billionaires and will actually serve his/her constituency.
I'm sure your behaviors are not uncommon, but in my neck of the woods, I see a lot of "TRUMP!!!!!!" signs, and in overheard (loud) conversation, I constantly hear how someone is going to vote for Trump and help to put those uppity Black folk back in their place etc. etc. etc. belch grunt fart. No one puts up signs or attaches bumper stickers to their cars in support of Democrats, because their homes/cars will be vandalized--often, in the same day. So the rule here is: you can talk about whom you voted for, as long as it was a Republican. Otherwise, you're taking your life in your hands.
As far as your choice in November goes---you should already have made up your mind to vote against Trump. If you are still considering voting for him, I can't imagine what would possibly dissuade you in addition to what he's already said and done. I mentioned that if he raped an entire Girl Scout troop on the White House lawn, every member of his "base" would still vote for him. Is that the case with you? (You don't have to answer that--more of a rhetorical question. I just can't fathom how ANYONE can be "undecided" at this point. Am I going to order the meat loaf or the rat turds? Hmmmm, I can't decide.)
Kevin Lewis recalls: ". . . belch, grunt, fart . . ." .
Has he overheard poor old DonDiego's conversations ? ? ?

Uppity blacks? Over the past 20 years, I've heard one person use this term. Kevin.
