I spent yesterday in the “other country.” I was with my extended family breaking the Yom Kippur fast. I walked in knowing not to touch the subject of the election because I’d be the only person in the place who was a Trump supporter. The driveway and street filled with lexuses, hybrids, bmw’s and one Tesla.
I walked into the kitchen to hear a conversation in progress where a man was saying “I just can’t wait till this election is OVER.” Several others agreed enthusiastically. Then he went on. “What Hillary needs to do after the election is....” and no one skipped a beat. They all ASSUME Hillary will win. They seem to KNOW she will win.
Now, these are bleeding heart libs. They brag about the little volunteer work they do and act like they care so much.... but it is the poor illegals they care for, the REFUGEES, all the wrong people. Then they hop into their shining new expensive cars and plan their next expensive vacation. They think they are so good and caring.
I don’t like their world.
I feel for you. My relatives in New York are also big on virtue signaling. They told me Trump was just like Hitler.
This election year is breaking up friendships and turning families against each other.
Virtue signaling — or simple hypocrisy, if you will — has come to dominate all discourse.
After all I have heard, I think I’d rather be an honest reprobate.
