That video is what most of us were thinking, yes, but I now see that there were people who called it, they just couldn't say it loudly or repeatedly enough to be taken seriously because they would be shouted down and ostracized, exactly as happened in the video. The parent just said it. Scott Adams was working his persuasion theory (ok, he is one who wasn't afraid to say it loudly or repeatedly). There were others in quiet little corners of the internet who believed that Trump supporters existed en masse but had retreated into the woodwork and would come out to prove the polls wrong.

And Adams has taken a hit in the pocketbook for what he's pointed out, besides being branded as an out-to-lunch loon. Good for notoriety, I supposed, but not so much for the feel-good motivational speaking gigs that he used to rake in.

That's pretty much how I've lived the past year. Even close friends would descend into personal attacks they knew were completely incorrect in their zeal to deny that trump was a force they didn't understand.
