Explaining the pink hats to my Republican friend. [View all]
I have one Republican friend. For many reasons, and lots of good shared history, I love her so much it hurts, but honest to God any kind of talk about politics is an exercise in frustration with a low information, deep in the heart of Virginia raised woman who is no longer young.
We went to the movies this afternoon, and I have this sign in my yard.
She read it and said: Did you make it? I said yes, I had 50 of them made for the women’s march in Washington and they sold out in no time.
Quiet.
“What are those pink hats called?”
"They are called PUSSY HATS.”
“Oh yes, I heard that. Why are they called that?”
“Well, we have a President now who bragged about being able to just grab a woman’s pussy because he can get away with it. Being famous and all.”
"But what is it about the weird points on the left and right?”
“Oh, that’s to indicate the labia, the shape of the pussy.”
Quiet.
At our good byes I said: “See if you can straighten out Trump” and her answer was: “So much good could be happening, but first he has to stop lying.”
To me - that is progress.
