One year since the coup. My hatred and anger have not subsided, in fact I'm a ball of rage now [View all]

[The Polack MSgt]

In the interest of my blood pressure and sanity, I have removed myself from contact with as many Trumpistani Nationals as I can but I can't avoid them all.

I work with the Federal Government - as a contracted employee, not GS - and oddly enough an amazing number of "small government conservatives" are nursing at the Government tit.

With Trumpsters I have to work with, I am blandly professional in our daily interactions and immediately dismissive when they try to convince me that the toupee wearing balloon full of cheezwiz is anything but a worthless hack.

Those attempts are happening less often recently. Huh, that's odd.

Professional, educated middle class to affluent white folks - they voted for 45. Fuck 'em

I have a Cousin who still works in the mines, and he KNOWS it's a dying industry. Voted for 45 anyway.

I have an Aunt that taught school for her whole adult life and now has a chronic condition requiring very expensive care - any cuts in Medicare would bankrupt her. Voted for Orange.

Because the same people who convinced them that Democrats are evil told them that Donald Fucking Goat Fucking Trump would make everything better again.

I rarely talk to my relatives now - but that is not much of a loss. I've lived here on the prairie coming on 19 years and I've been visited by one uncle one time and my brother twice. Not shocked at all of course, after I married a Japanese woman in the mid 80s, not only did no one attend, but no one acknowledged our existence for several years.

I've tried and my wife has tried these last 30 years to bridge the gap but all that ended 366 days ago. Fuck those people.

I had friends in the service, with whom I thought I'd have a life long connection, turn into deranged drooling fuck knuckles - They have no role in my life now. They voted for Trump. Fuck those guys

I moved my VFW membership to a post that is predominantly AA so that I can drink beer and shoot pool with Democrats. (Bonus benefit - No Toby Keith or Hank Williams Jr. on the jukebox.)

that's it - sorry for the swears - I'm done.

Peace
