New Way To Lovingly Address Trump Loving "Friends"......
So my husband and I have an old friend. He showed up in our home, recently, with a BRAND NEW HAT emblazoned with “TRUMP 2024”…….
For a touch of background, we have known him and his family for our entire lives. It’s not shocking that he has become a Trumper. What’s shocking is that he chose to wear this hat in our presence.
He’s not a bad person. I have seen him cuddle and save sick kittens, check on elderly folks, take care of anyone who needs anything, etc. He is kind and loving and giving. But his redneck, “gun-toting” mind has overcome all else when it comes to TFG. Sigh. Heavy sigh. Welcome to WV.
Oh and he’s a UNION WORKER!! Let THAT sink in…..LET THAT SINK IN!!
So when he was here a couple nights ago, “sporting” his new hat, I didn’t say a word. We shared a few drinks, some local pizza, caught up on news about his brother and his family. He adores our dogs, adores my husband and me, and has a heart the size of the moon. Not kidding. And we adore him right back. Still not kidding.
We have seen this man weep when his Mom died. We have seen him in complete turmoil over a break-up with a girlfriend. We have seen him employed/unemployed/happy/sad/thriving/barely surviving/etc. You name it. We’ve been through it with him, as he has been with us.
Before he left, I showed him my phone. And I shared a screen shot of a donation. I had my hand on his arm.
And I told him this: “Hey there you! Every time I see that hat on you? I’m going to make a ___ contribution to Act Blue, or to Joe Biden’s campaign for 2024. So THANK YOU for wearing that hat!! It means a whole lot to me because I feel better knowing that you incentivized me to donate to the greater good and not to focus on your hat.”
He snickered. And he looked down, and away from me.
And he fired up his big old truck, and left.
PS. He doesn’t vote and never has. Go figure.
