For people who think I'm offensive or tell me I'm offensive, for reminding them they voted for

a racist/sexist/misogynist/xenophobic/homophobe...

I remind them they voted for a proud pussy grabber, sexual assaulter.

Remind them gently (haha) that if that doesn't upset their sensitive fee fees then how could me possibly pointing out the truth be offensive.

who voted for him because their candidate didn't win. I heard a young woman at a meeting the other day say she voted for him because "she wanted to blow up the system because they cheated Bernie out of the White House". She said if they "had 4 years of Trump they would elect Bernie in 2020".... I like Bernie, but this BOB thinking makes me nuts.

We were inundated with them... They now have their own website where they spew the hate... but many were here for a long long time.

or did what their friends/church/grocery bagger told them to do.

My youngest voted for the first time this cycle. He is a child of the social media age, of course.

Early on, he gave me the "Hillary is untrustworthy " line. I told him to do some research and get back to me. It took him about 10 minutes to see it as a complete lie. He was astonished at what the media/Republicans had put her through.

It's really that easy to find out the truth.

Might as well use their latest insult on them.

They shouldn't be offended now that its "OK to speak your mind". I thought electing Donny meant we didn't have to be PC anymore?
