(557 posts)The one in Wisconsin voted for Trump, if she voted at all, because her evangelical church will have told her to. She also listens to crap news pretty much exclusively. She did give up telling us we were going to hell a long time ago, to keep the peace, but we've exhausted the subjects we could discuss civilly anyway - seriously, how many times can you remember your childhood? And I've always organized my holiday trips to red Wisconsin by making sure I didn't give that state a single dime, so that'll be easier. I can just stay in the Peoples Republic of Minnesota and spend my money there.
What could I tell her? It's ok? It's not ok. She voted away our country for God and cheap groceries, neither of which is even going to materialize. When things get a lot worse and she wants to vent to me, how can I have any sympathy? Don't come to me, ask your church for a friggin' miracle. Ask your college for a refund on your diploma, because education doesn't seem to have been the end result. You got conned. You managed to convince yourself that a man who would steal from kids with cancer gives a rat's ass about God, the country and your problems. Guess what's going to happen.
