I'm grateful that actual friends I have turned out to be fellow liberals, guess that's why I liked them. Before 9/11 woke me up, I rarely discussed politics with anyone - except maybe on election day, just asking people if they voted. But now it's one of the first things everyone wants to talk about, usually about the horrors of Trump. However, I know that I have to be careful around those I don't know, everyone has such strong opinions now. Though I could probably handle it better than I could in the past. My one negative experience was an elderly man who started shouting at me in the PetsMart parking lot because he noticed the "New Yorkers for Kerry/Edwards" sticker on my car. I also live in Republican country. Thanks for fighting the good fight! And you have kindred spirits and friends here!
