Religious differences and political choices... caution, humor in use!

I was talking to my friend Bob at the coffee shop and I explained to him why I was unable to support tRUMP at any time before or after 2016. "It was due to religious differences", I stated. "I was raised to be a practicing Christian and it's obvious that tRUMP is Satan."

Disclaimer: This wasn't an original thought for me. It's a restructure of a joke I heard Brett Butler
deliver in an episode of her tv show Grace Under Fire. The line was delivered in explanation of her divorce, stating that the divorce was due to religious differences since she was raised Baptist and he was Satan. I accept that it's not necessary to be all original all the time and I'm happy to borrow inspiration where I find it! I don't think there's a copyright issue here since I'm not being paid and I am giving attribution. I guess I'll find out!

like The Walking Dead.

She's still working-- a movie and new series are in post production.

Don't know how that could be a copyright violation considering most every man on the planet has been declared to be the devil at one time or another.
