A former supervisor and Hillary lover calls me out of the clear blue. Haven't heard from him in years. After some brief chit chat and catching up, he starts to rip on Trump. I really have no desire to debate politics with him over the phone so I just let him ramble on. He proceeds to suggest that anyone who votes for Trump is totally stupid. That he is the leader of stupid, uneducated people. He goes on about him being a felon and a threat to democracy.
So I find myself wondering WTF this call was really about. Liberal panic that things might not go their way? Trying to bully everyone you know into voting the way you want? He should have known that shit doesn't work on me.
He finally takes a breath so I tell him there's no fucking way I'm voting for that idiot Harris. We are on the brink of war all around the world and I dont want that shit for brains holding the nuclear football. She's not capable of being commander in chief and that concerns me. Trump may be a lot of things some don't like but he's not stupid, didn't fuck his way into politics and he isn't a drunk. I am more comfortable with Trump in the oval office. He didn't destroy our democracy when he had his chance in office, so I figure you repeating that claptrap suggests you are afraid he might win.
He hangs up.
The next evening he texts me, probably after his third martini .... "I thought your were smart. No reply necessary."
My reply: I NEVER LIKED YOU. NONE OF US TRUSTED YOU. YOU HAVE NO FRIENDS.
