Yep.
Election is over.
Life goes on.
I walked into three conversations today where these folks were afraid. Like really afraid.
It was insane. I am a conservative in MA. Maybe I am just used to being disappointed.
It’s not every day America’s Ex-Wife gets sent packing.
I’ve been thinking about what I’m going to have to say to a couple of snowflakes I know if this comes up, and I think I’ve decided upon:
“I wasn’t at all happy with how the last couple of elections turned out. And do you know what I did about it? I put on my pants and went to work.”
God Bless you, that is priceless!
I keep telling people, “oh, you made my day” or “that just made my day.”
This is just a day of many small luscious gifts :)
Delusion is not a river in Egypt.
I feel your pain - lived my whole life in a blue city known for 535 felons, except college/grad school in Cambridge, MA. I can handle friends who disagree with me. Some of these people have never left their bubbles. I’ve had people tell me “until I met you, I never knew a Republican can be nice”, and they feel proud of themselves, as if they have made some huge psychological breakthrough. I learned early to be tactful, and not to walk into a room of people I don’t know and spout political opinions as if everyone agreed with me.
But they are so tolerant...
There is no “I” in denial.
I had to learn the hard way to change more than a few words.
