15. How many times have *we* remained respectfully silent
Fri Sep 6, 2024, 12:00 PM
Sep 2024

when our core values are attacked by some know-nothing shit-kicker Trump supporter? How many times have we simply averted our eyes in the presence of a "F*ck Biden" sign or glob help us t-shirt? Why do we have to worry about their fucking feelings, anyway? It's your house; you're allowed to state your opinions--if not there, where?--and it's up to that young man to either remain respectfully silent or risk not getting any more work from you.

Steve, my handyman, was a Trumper, by the way, and he isn't any longer, thanks to my ever-patient husband. Steve was impressed enough by the degrees and certificates in my husband's home office to decide that he was worth listening to.

Don't give up on this kid. It's important for them to understand that NICE PEOPLE like us can be wild-ass liberals, and that we don't kill babies to drink their blood.
