"I don't care what anyone says, in mainstream Kiwi society you have to be very careful what you say these days. That's one reason I tend not to venture in to mainstream society because I know my views (which are NOT extreme in any way) would not be appreciated. The Kiwi public have been brainwashed."
Apparently, one of the reasons almost every poll on the US 2016 election was wrong is because many voters supposedly were reluctant to admit they planned to vote for Trump, since the knew they'd immediately catch hell from the "Hillary is god" crowd. It's a sad state when people have to conceal their opinions in what are supposedly functioning democracies. I think Trump is a buffoon, but I'd still take him any day over a continuation of the Clinton dynasty. Hillary and the Democratic party got Trump elected by the way they shafted Bernie Sanders, who had an increasingly strong following but stood no chance with the party poobahs who had already decided Hillary would be the nominee, and the voters be damned. Donna Brazile blew the whistle on how corrupt the Democratic Party leadership had been, but no one seems to be very upset over there. If the Republican Party had acted the same way, their would have been banner headlines about it for weeks.
