The lie that Passive Means Weakness
Me: Minding my business as I drink with my friend and his friends in order to be supportive and get to know them.
Them: “Trump will save America”
Me: “Ok.” I take a sip and avoid the the tangents going on around me, but roll my eyes involuntarily as their never ending rants go on and on. It's not enough that I am silently enduring this abuse. I'm choosing not to speak on it. And yet …
Them: “Oh, looks like we got a feminist! I can guess, but, who are you voting for?” He knows, but needs the verbal confirmation to drive his point home.
Me: Kamala. The choice is obvious. Please leave me alone.
Them: Ugh, really? Let me guess, you watch the news for your information, right?
Me: as much as you do. Now leave me alone.
Them: (screaming in my face) what you watch is fake news, let me rant towards your direction as I spit facts, I love those!
Me: I've watched all I need to watch, under multiple municipalities, counties, and non-affiliated countries to see all sides. Please leave me alone.
Them: you're just a brainwashed Democrat. Do you believe in abortion?
Me: “I'm not the one getting angry and invading your space when were just sitting there trying to have a good time. I don't care to answer you, because you've already amounted to a verbal assault I wouldn't even get a chance to respond to with your constant interruptions. Leave me alone.”
Them: "See, that's the problem with you Dems. Always trying to manipulate people but you don't even want to talk about shit!"
Me: dude, I came out for a good time. Please shut the fuck up.
Them: "See? Emotional, sensitive. Just as I thought. Psh. You bitches need to know your place but if you won't, enjoy being alone.
Me: “Ok.” I take a sip of bourbon and keep on keeping on.
Them: "Feminist bitch."
Yeah. I'm the problem.

Trumplicans are morons or con artists (I guess in this case we can add asshole to the list). I determined a long time ago that you can’t argue rationally with people who refuse to or can’t reason. In this poem I see a little, insecure man trying to seem important and knowledgeable but failing miserably. Harris & Waltz will save America from Trump

I do hope Kamala saves this place. I fear the same fate awaits her as Hillary. I know there aren't any damning histories that are alike to hillary's, but I do know the media is trying to paint Kamala in the same light they painted the last democratic, female candidate; corrupt enough to take us all down, yet too useless to be a threat. It's Schrodinger's candidate. And the American public, even down to the rational public, is scared enough to be swayed to either side. So it is not a rational argument to be had, because people do not want to discuss the fundamentals that would destroy their line of thinking that comes from accepted "truth" statements. For example, all women are temperamental is something to be debated, but established as a truth statement, all other argument is not necessary. So, accepting this previous statement as fact (all women are temperamental,) therefore they should not hold power is the main topic to be discussed, right? Distracting... The argument then becomes how much power can women have, given their temperament. The question blossoms into a means of the measurement of incompetence, incompetence being the accepted reality as no one has debated the fundamental question, are women incompetent due to their temperament? Furthermore, is there a temperament to be recognized at all? Not discussed. It's accepted. And that's society in a fuckin nutshell. How TF do you speak to those who do not ask more questions than they answer? Shiiiiiiiiit. That's the reason you speak of and sir, it is rare.
