    They Really Do See Us as Deplorable

    Short story:

    A couple of months ago my boss hired an outside nurse as a supervisor. We all like her okay, but she does already have some attendance issues, sometimes arriving at work hours late.

    I am usually charge nurse on the night shift and she is charge on days. One day she arrived at work six(!) hours late and was told if she is late one more time she will be fired. Both of us being charge nurses, she confided in me and sorta cried on my shoulder. So, Perianne being Perianne, I have started calling her to make sure she is awake on time. We have gotten close and she tells me every day she loves me.

    Until....

    Today, after report, something came up about Trump. I told her I looooove Trump. She got up and started walking away saying she can't even look at me "right now". "How can you be for Trump"???? She told me her entire opinion of me has now changed. And she went on and on. I asked her "are you joking???" She said "NO. I am not joking". And she wasn't.

    And that is how you lose a "friend" in today's political environment.

    I think it's fair to question the morals and intelligence of anyone who supports Trump. He's a vile piece of shlt, and if you support him it is pretty damning of your lack of character.

    She canceled you. No good deed goes unpunished.

    I suggest that both you and your new good friend promise not to discuss politics with each other anymore.

    I don't find an explanation anywhere to account for such vehement anti-Trumpers. They can't explain it either.

    They need to be exorcised. That won't win friendship if you advise them of that, however.
