(20,237 posts)One's a newish neighbor. She starts a conversation from time to time. I go, uh-oh, here we go. I go easy 'cause she had a major tragedy two years ago. Last year--Hillary will get us into WWIII. I said T***p said obscene demeaning stuff about females. She said locker room talk. Couple months ago--do I see what mean things people are saying about T***p. This lady is a faithful church goer. Her husband was a minister for 45 years. These people get revved up at church! A lot of 'men of God' preach politics from the pulpit unabashedly without reservation. Someone else we know is a good 'christian' boy. Sometimes you work with these people. If someone is honestly wanting discourse about politics and we can have a reasonable discussion, I may indulge. But don't shove your crap down my throat or I'll cram my ideology down yours. And then it's finito. MB for the relationship. One so-called friend sent me a bullshit email about getting prayer back in school or some such, and scrolling down, a comment on when Melonya Drumpf opened a FLA rally with the Lord's Prayer. That did it. I msg'd him back saying if he hasn't anything relevant or pertinent to say, I'M NOT INTERESTED. "Feeling better are ya? Why aren't you asleep at this late hour sending me this <hogwash>." He texted my husband the next day and told him I was 'nasty' to him. Thanx, I'll wear that proudly. You should have been witness to the vile revolting things he said and emailed us re: My President Obama for eight years. I really lost it this time and particularly don't give a flyin' crap about my behavior. That's how I deal.
