I have an uncle who is a rabid Democrat...our family goes back to working for the real Mayor Daley and they worshiped at the shrine of FDR.
...I escaped the reservation a long while ago.
We were at a family get together this summer and he started ranting, obscenely, about Pres. Trump, where the rest of the table were ladies.
I asked him, where did that(the obscenities) come from? you are better than that.
He started venting to me and I asked him: “How has Donald Trump’s election negatively affected you, personally?”
He gave me the Ralph Kramden “Homina, Homina, Homina”...
It’s the first question I ask everyone who starts raggin about Pres. Trump.
My Uncle then started on about the “Billy Bush” tape.
I asked him why he had not one bit of outrage when Pres. Clinton came into the WH as a known horn-dog and was caught having a peccadillo in the Oval Office? I had him again...
I then asked him, why he wasn’t mad at Pres. Obama for rejecting the Central States Teamsters pension bailout plan? (My uncle is a retired teamster and that pension plan is set to get to zero dollars in 2025 - he loses his pension). He had no answer.
The first question usually gets everybody...and I build off of that...
RE: Arguments about “Presidential timbre”.
I will point out Rahida Tlaib’s statement as a contrast.
And, really, don’t they remember that Big Dick Daly* had his CPD give hickory shampoos to DEMOCRATS and UNIONISTAs?
I call him that only because I can then call his son little-dick Daly. KEK
>>He started venting to me and I asked him
I truly wish I could think on my feet as fast as you do. I think I use text because the words can be massaged until they do what I want them to do.
I have an older friend who used to be like this. He was more of a blue-dog democrat so we did have some common ground but he would be rabid to defend his party.
Over the years I emphasized the conservative ties that bind, all the while contrasted it with how radically socialist his party leaders have become. He's actually a huge President Trump supporter now that he sees him bring manufacturing and jobs back, building a wall to keep out the illegals, and more good things he's doing for the American people.
He made a comment the other day on how sick he was of his party leaders with this impeachment sham. That took me by surprise a little bit because of his past rabid support of the dem party. It's just another good indicator to show "The Great Awakening", is really happening.

Excellent line of questioning.
