"He proceeded to shout at me that it was a good thing that I was a woman or he would whip my ass." [View all]

The title was taken from a Facebook post of a fellow democrat here in my small Oklahoma town. She and a friend were coming from the vet and saw a man taking pictures of her car's bumper stickers. She said, in the past, she'd received positive comments, so she smiled and asked if he like what he saw. His response was the title of this post. He was very menacing, to the point that she reported him to the police, who responded; " the person was just a “grumpy old man” and that trump did win the election." She had NO bumper stickers mentioning the anal pusbag currently squatting in the White House.

This is what it has come to under this mis-administration's rule. Eventually, I fear, we will see someone killed over a bumper-sticker. Ms. Clinton recently said, "You cannot be civil with Republicans." Sadly, this is becoming more and more true. Those republicans with which one could be civil, all seem to be leaving the party, that simply backs up what Secretary Clinton was saying, IMO.

The above message came the day I went to see our democratic gubernatorial candidate, Drew Edmondson, at a local establishment, and overheard, as he introduced himself to a constituent, "Hi, I am here today to support you and your run and I am a republican. I am tired of how this state and our country is being mismanaged." I whispered to my husband, "Finally! Some of them are starting to wake the fuck up!"

I should have known that "high" wouldn't last, but it is what it is.

Morale of the story: There are those republicans who can be brought into the light, but many will not and thrive in the new darkness created by a tyrant-wannabe!
