Post-election, the usual types on social media are doing the typical histrionics, as we we have all come to expect of them.

But in real life, I have noticed that people are clammed up. Coworkers who loved to hold forth on politics now actively avoid the subject.

Most of my mouthy metropolitan left-of-center friends/family/acquaintances has suddenly become an overnight silently-suffering stoic.

It being Thanksgiving, I'd love to know if anyone else is experiencing this phenomenon.
