Has there been a lot of bullying by democrats in this election? If you are a Democrat would a friend you know be comfortable to tell you they are voting for Trump?

My workplace (in the Department of Defense) has a lot of brilliant, outspoken people. There's a lot of strident rhetoric, but nobody takes it personally, because, as indicated, brilliant people.
Thank you for playing Debating Christianity & Religion!

So there are brilliant outspoken Trump supporters in your department, who feel no fear in expressing that?

That is a good point, some Democrats have been bullys and and that may account for some "hidden" Trump voters. What is suppressed at polling time, may become unleashed on election day!

It has been called the "Brexit factor". It is not "fashionable" to be a Trump supporter in elite media and Hollywood circles.

But it has gone well beyond what is "socially acceptable"...some anti-Trump people are bullying physically too. Instigating violence at Trump rallys, the firebombing at a Trump campaign headquarters, and a vandal jackhammering Trump's star on the Hollywood walk of fame.
My theological positions:

-God created us in His image, not the other way around.
-The Bible is redeemed by it's good parts.
-Pure monotheism, simple repentance.
-YHVH is LORD
-The real Jesus is not God, the real YHVH is not a monster.
-Eternal life is a gift from the Living God.
-Keep the Commandments, keep your salvation.
-I have accepted YHVH as my Heavenly Father, LORD and Savior.

I am inspired by Jesus to worship none but YHVH, and to serve only Him.
