"No Republicans"

I "ghosted" FB a few yrs ago but my info is still there, apparently.

Just last week had a childhood friend contact me and want to be friends but she then told me she's a rethug and asked if that really meant "no Republicans"!
I'm now in the process of "interrogating" her to find out how exactly she can back up her rethugian positions. Essentially, I want to show her what an idiot she has to be. So far, she's been nice. My interrogation has essentially just begun and I'm including her in my political emails today. So, "we'll see."

Once upon a time, she seemed to have a few brain cells because she finished h.s. in 3 yrs and college in 3 yrs. Yep, I know that, depending upon the field, that can be explained by having good rote memory, not reasoning abilities.
But she's religious!! And that's another huge "hell-no" in my book. So, I don't have a lot of hope and know how this will probably end but I want to cause her to think a bit.

Years ago I was successful in converting one guy to the light! And he was ex-military too! But...but he was already an atheist, so I knew he was a flexible thinker who had some respect for me.
