Wow, I’m almost sorry I asked. This is so disturbing.
I certainly ‘knew’ some of it just from interactions with
them, but to read what you’ve laid out is really disheartening.
I am going to reread it and let it sink in.
What a horrid week. Thank you for taking the time
to write that all out and share it.
After my own politics began changing and even for quite some time after that change, I still would interact w/these types. I ended up with a bleeding ulcer. Literally.
Today, I only encounter them as clients/customers. The ulcer was repaired, so now I just get these severe headaches from suppressing my rage. In 2008, I told one that every Democrat owed the entire country an apology for voting for 0. Her response was that she was a Democrat and the customer, so I couldn’t speak to her like that.
We added up what she spent with us over a year and decided it wasn’t worth it. But she keeps coming back. We even try to annoy her enough so she will leave, but she hasn’t. My husband is much better than I at keeping things superficial, so I let him deal w/her.
