Comment on Thanksgiving Got Shorter After the 2016 Election, Study Saysparent

Comments

I lived with my sisters kid who was 22 at the time. We decided to do Christmas at our apartment. So about 30 people crammed into our two bedroom place. Coreys dad came and and was wearing a MAGA hat and shirt. Then he said Trump will win and my beaner girlfriend will be deported. He is a cop in Vancouver Washington at this very moment.

So I just grab a book and six pack and head to the roof of the the Jack in the Box a few blocks away. Easy to get up there and I can read and drink in peace.

Fast forward a year.

Now I live alone. Christmas at my apartment. Corey is in San Diego. The Trump supporter who has no real connection to any family that will be at my apartment asks for directions to the C-mas party. I tell him he is not invited. He is not happy. I do not care.

Seriously. Life is short. I am not going to try to get along with openly racist people. They can die in a fire.
