18. I'm afraid I don't know a single Republican family or friend.

Granted, we're not gregarious people, but still. I have met TWO Trump supporters in the last 4 years. One was a neighbor in our condo who told me how distressed he was the people were not respecting "our president." Is it prejudice to have noticed that he is an immigrant from Argentina with a German name?

The other was a woman in line at an outdoor nursery. We had a congenial chat about plants and then she made a comment in support of Trump. It was clear she was trying to bait me. I just didn't respond.

That's it.
