64. Absolutely. My Repub dentist said that I voted for Hillary

Dec 2017

because she is a woman, and like all Dems, I hate rich people. He Added that he likes to work hard and make money to care for himself and his family , and Dems don't want to let him do that. We live in a deep blue area.

After I got his hands out of my.mouth, I asked him if he voted for Trump because he is A man and because Fox News parrots all of the myths that you just spouted after you stuck your hands in my mouth. I said, I used to think you were a smart guy (Chinese American of 9 siblings who grew up running a Chinese laundry family business. All have Ivy League educations ), but you aren't as smart as when I knew you 25 years ago. True. He said, What?

I told him not toput hos hands in my mouth anymore and make ignorant pilitical comments.

We had another discussion about Dems and rich people and the ignorant stuff he saidabout Dems.
God, these Repubs are determined to be stupid.
