“Liberals are supremely stupid. I come in contact with them occasionally, and it’s all I can do to be civil. They’re just stupid.”

Before I retired a few years ago, I too was required to come in contact with them on occasion. It was painful and for the final few months of my employment, I had to bite my tongue so many times, I was in pain by the time I left the office at the end of the day. The snarky remarks I did let loose were nothing compared to what I wanted to say. The closer it got to retirement, the more snarky comments I made. They weren’t sure if I was joking with my insults of their intelligence or if I was serious.
One of my most treasured memories is the morning after Trump had been elected in 2016. On the day of the election, staff had received a general email inviting everyone for coffee and doughnuts to be served in the staff lounge at 9:00 a.m. the morning after the election. I showed up not realizing that it was supposed to be a celebration of Hillary’s election as President. When I arrived, I witnessed grown women crying.
I soon realized the reason for the coffee and doughnut gathering, and started walking backwards out of the reception room. I said, “I think I’m at the wrong place” and just laughed. I then said, “I think I’ll have a pastry anyway” and walked back inside and grabbed a chocolate eclair before leaving the room while still laughing.
I then told the boss what the celebration was about, and he made the department reimburse the company for the costs of the reception. For events for political causes could not be charged to the company account. It was several months before the department head even spoke to me again. However, I knew I was out of there soon and thus cared not for her opinion.
I still occasionally talk to my former boss and a couple other staff members at the office, (one who would aggravate them all by listening to Rush on her lunch hour—her door was closed and a “gone to lunch” note was on her door, but they would insist on knocking and bothering her anyway), but as to the rest of them, I have no desire to speak to them again.
