“I thought you love America?” I asked her.
“I do,” she said, “What’s that got to do with anything?”
Smile on my face I said, “Well I know you believe in democracy and the rights of your fellow Americans to choose…”
Knowing where I was headed, she jabbed me in the ribs with her fork.
“I know your games by now and I’m not playing,” she said.
I couldn’t help myself.
I just find it fun to play with people who take this political theater so seriously.
“But it’s different with him…”
She started on the usual rant about the President.
Nothing unusual, just the typical copy you hear from a democrat.
Like those Republicans still groaning about Bill and Hillary, the same headlines never get tired.
She’s not talking about Russia anymore.
Just the impeachment. How he’s a pig. Stupid. Racist. Bigot.
But she’d just got done talking to me about inclusiveness and respecting different choices, so again I couldn’t help myself…
“Well, I know how important inclusiveness is to you, and I know you have great respect for other people’s vote.”
“You can’t get me that way,” she said.
