41. At some point my ex went right wing

Fri Dec 22, 2017, 05:14 PM

Dec 2017

I’m virtually certain she would have voted for Trump.

We were successfully divorced for 30 years, but much to the chagrin of my wife and daughters, we always stayed in touch and remained very friendly. Then, during 2012 campaign she started spewing Foxisms at me when I drunk texted her.

She called Obama a socialistic fascist at some point. After I stopped laughing I asked her to define that. She told me I was being a snotty elitist.

When the 2016 shit show started I made sure I didn’t communicate with her about anything political. I really no longer talk to her.

If I was single I would be asking for a left swipe from any Trumpette.

This is personal.
