Showing Original Post only (View all)Despite my own wishes and common sense, I got political on Thanksgiving. [View all]
And I swore to myself I would not. I kept my peace until late, at least.
Hearing my father and a cousin rant about how unfair the media is to Trump drove me over the edge.
I said that is such bullshit. In my view, he is getting a pass from the media.
I also said I am absolutely ashamed that a racist, sexist, misogynist bigot is president of this country. And I am ashamed a that religious fanatic anti-choice woman hater is vice president.
They argued with me and I told them to enjoy it while they can. 3 million+ voted for Hillary and we will never let this happen again.
I left a little early. Conflicted. Feeling sorry for losing it but glad I spoke up.
Went home, poured a glass of wine and listened to Ani Defranco.
