They don't change. Yesterday, I was sitting at my "spot" in my DoD Gov Office, and I was surrounded by them talking about "the stupid people who voted for the President" -- then saying they didn't know anyone that stupid -- then pointing to me and saying "Except [me}." I let this one pass, but I know the laws and regs and if they push me too I will file a formal IG complaint.
Difference is - I would never treat anyone like that. NEVER! These people had to go to school somewhere to learn to be so vicious.
LOL! I see this idea that Republicans are "stupid" and Dems have the right to tell them so to their faces is a national problem!
Yeah, I had a friend call me yesterday and tell me that now she'll never get help for her nerve damage from her broken back a few years ago (get up out of wheelchairs and walk, although she's not in a wheelchair), what if her daughter gets raped and needs an abortion, and her medicare costs have risen more than her social security income so she might as well move to Canada.
Nevermind the fact that 2 of the 3 haven't been affected yet. And I wanted to say "So I should pay more in taxes?"
I just was shaking my head (we were on the phone) and let her ramble on. She has never talked to me like this before, she knows where I stand and who I support, but we just never talked politics a lot.
I was kinda upset, because she is my friend and the tone of her voice was hateful, and I was caught totally off guard. I'm going to give it a few days and talk to her again (not about politics) but I would hate it if she is going to put politics above a 6 year friendship.
People have lost their minds in this country.
