Hilary's presidential campaign from the start.

I have a co-worker who is voting Hillary, because "Donald Trump will ruin everything we've ever worked for". I'm not a trump supporter, but this is obvious hyperbole.
Anyway, later on in the conversation gay rights get brought up. I mentioned how Hillary has flip flopped on this issue and is quoted as saying that marriage only exists between a man and a woman. He replies with "well, it was politically expedient for her to say that at the time." And I asked if it was just politically expedient for her to changer her mind in the current year. He said no, then said a whole bunch of shit about how she is talking from the heart, etc.
It's fucking retarded. He is normally a very reasonable person, but I feel like he is just brainwashed when it comes to politics.
I also caught him browsing Reddit multiple times.

That is what happens when you fail to read opposing views.

You're incorrect. Her campaign people know the reality of the US and know what they are doing.
The reality break occurs with Hillary's non-paid supporters: I.e: American's who will vote for her without being paid to do so...

I was in a science class in 9th grade with a girl who had previously been in religious schools for most of her life. One day, the class randomly started talking about dinosaurs. You could see this girl becoming increasingly confused until she finally blurted out "Wait, dinosaurs are real??" She then quickly asked if dragons were real, genuinely hungry for knowledge and questioning life. That girl left class that day very, very confused.
Edit: I just wanted to add that the girl didn't think that fossils were put in the ground by the devil or a trick from god or anything like that. She had been taught that dinosaurs were 'mythical beasts' and that all of the bones in the museums were manmade and fake. Thus, her also asking if dragons were real as well.

Anybody who is not an idiot knows that dinosaurs aren't real and that the devil only put their bones on earth to trick us.

This is exactly why people think Christans are crazy. Because of these shitheads.

That is sad... Those religious schools the girl is probably a good example of this.
The Bible itself clearly tells of the existence of dinosaurs..
Job 40:15-24 Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox.
Lo now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the navel of his belly.
He moveth his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his stones are wrapped together.
His bones are as strong pieces of brass; his bones are like bars of iron.
He is the chief of the ways of God: he that made him can make his sword to approach unto him.
Surely the mountains bring him forth food, where all the beasts of the field play.
He lieth under the shady trees, in the covert of the reed, and fens.
The shady trees cover him with their shadow; the willows of the brook compass him about.
Behold, he drinketh up a river, and hasteth not: he trusteth that he can draw up Jordan into his mouth.
He taketh it with his eyes: his nose pierceth through snares.
Which describes the brontosaurus.

Got a good one. I went to school in At UBC for a year and lived in the dorms. One of the super rich Chinese kids that populated my school lived on the same floor as me. Her first day there she took a shower in the public bathroom and then just left all her clothes strewn about. She assumed the maid would come pick them up an wash them.

My father, by far. But the coin incident was the farthest from reality he's ever been.
My dad collects coins, because his extremely Hungarian immigrant grandfather convinced him that the Bank (capitalizing it because to him, all banks are just one huge world bank) is determined to steal all his money from him, so he has to have a backup plan. This in and of itself isn't too extreme; plenty of people choose self-sustenance due to a distrust in government and economics, but the real kicker happened when he tried to roll his coins.
He has to order his coin rolls online because he doesn't want to go to the bank and get coin rolls because then the bank will know how much money he's hiding from them. I'm not kidding. Anyway, he ordered a bag of coin rolls and waited about a month for them to come before he started getting curious where they were. He asked my mom to check the order tracking while he was at work one day, which led to this conversation:
Mom: [Dad's name], it says here that the package made it to [town we live in] two weeks ago, but got sent back. It says you gave no delivery address.
Dad: Yeah, why would I do that? I don't want them to know where I live, they might tell everyone.
