Character is not just a person in a novel.

(29,889 posts)But next time it happens, Ill remember this. Random encounters are occurring less frequently, and I see fewer clothing items or other outward displays of MAMAtry. In my present situation, most of those with whom I work were likely rump voters. Even before the election, some felt free to open up and betray their MAGAt mentality, going so far as to solicit my opinion. My reply tended to shut down further inquiry.:
Me: There are three things I dont talk about at work:
(1) politics
(2) religion
(3) the torture chamber in my basement where I skinned all those hillbilly child rapists while still alive
Pause.
Better make that four things I dont talk about at work.

It sometimes serves as an opening for debunking whatever propaganda was making the rounds, but mostly they just STFU around me, and thats alright.
Ive actually exercised a good deal of restraint in my attitude since the election. Sure, I scatter schadenfreude in my wake when some horrific pronouncement comes lumbering down the pike, but I havent commented as leopards eat individual faces. Thats a recipe for generating full-on hatred - against the smartass who uttered it.
Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
