Disturbing interaction with a trumper last night - my HUGE FAUX PAS!
Was at an outdoor concert of a really cool Celtic / Latin fusion band from Vancouver BC in a neighboring town. My expectation (naive, I guess?) was that everyone there was a leftie!
I saw lots of old friends and colleagues. For some reason I honed in a woman sitting near me who I had worked with 30 years ago at a state agency for the elderly. We had been acquaintances since. She seemed to be cuddling with her female friend. After one exuberant song I went over to her on the way back to my seat and told her that in my exuberance I jumped up and down and said "FUCK TRUMP."
Well....I really royally screwed up. She looked at me and said, "I don't feel like that. At least we are moving forward."
I realized my gigantic misinterpretation and just walked off sheepishly. Later I saw her and her friend each with their male partners, sitting together.
Hope I learned my lesson!
Anyway, this band is so lively and joyous, by the end of the concert at least half in attendance were on their feet in front of the stage dancing our asses off. Not only was this group not up there, they weren't even bobbing their hands, clapping, or moving to the music in any way, shape or form! The last song was dedicated (and written) by the band to honor those who pick our fruits and vegetables....i.e., migrant farm workers.
I feel nauseous about the whole thing today.
Check out the band. https://www.paperboys.com/index/

she was only a mere acquaintance I hadn't seen in years!
Basically - I blurted; no impulse control 
Is she brain damaged? In what way are we "moving forward" unless she thinks that fascism is the way forward. Anyone who approves of the job that Trump is doing is a horrible, hateful person and if I had offended them, I would have considered it a victory.
I wouldn't worry about it too much.
