His plumber may have voted for Trump.... and now he feels real fear [View all]

Ned Resnikoff is the senior editor at ThinkProgress, and had the following interaction he posted on Facebook:

As quoted from USA Today:

Ned Resnikoff, a “senior editor” at the liberal website ThinkProgress, wrote on Facebook that he’d called a plumber to fix a clogged drain. The plumber showed up, did the job and left, but Resnikoff was left shaken, though with a functioning drain. Wrote Resnikoff, “He was a perfectly nice guy and a consummate professional. But he was also a middle-aged white man with a Southern accent who seemed unperturbed by this week’s news.”

This created fear: “While I had him in the apartment, I couldn’t stop thinking about whether he had voted for Trump, whether he knew my last name is Jewish, and how that knowledge might change the interaction we were having inside my own home.”

When it was all over, Resnikoff reported that he was “rattled” at the thought that a Trump supporter might have been in his home. “I couldn’t shake the sense of potential danger.”


This is the world we now live in. Who in your daily interactions voted for Donald Trump? And what are they capable of? And what happens starting on Jan 20th when they feel as if they are no longer held back by the rule of law, and that the Administration will have their back when they start "the purge" they are so desperately wanting? Scary times.....
