In January, I overheard a few neighbors complaining about the Trump protests blocking freeways, etc

[C Moon]

There were three of them outside standing near my garage (I'm in a townhouse, so I heard the talk coming through my window). They were complaining about the protests and the election. I remember hearing one specifically say, "He's already won. So what's the use of protesting it?"
The other neighbors agreed with him.

Today, I went out to my garage and was about to leave, and I overheard two of the same people talking.
I heard the same person I quoted above say:
"Why don't they just kick him out—before he screws up the whole country!"
The other neighbor agreed, and I heard mumbles about Korea, Russia and China.

Oh my: that was a quick change of opinion.

1. Good news!

All I want to hear now are people who voted for that idiot coming to their senses. That is our only hope.

3. Yes. And I'm pretty sure the three in this conversation voted for the TWIT (ter).

I hope TWIT isn't something of bad meaning. Because I don't know from where it comes.

7. AFAIK "twit" is just a silly person; or if you "twit" someone, you're teasing them...

OTOH, "twat" is vulgar, even obscene, and means the same thing as the C-word and the P-word.

What a difference a single letter can make.

9. Well, my uber-GOP dad was pissed off at me on Easter.

And here's why...

First: he insists upon running Fox News in the background at all times.

Second: when I hear something stupid on Fox News (like every minute), I WILL say something. I try to go for satirical but sometimes I go straight-up "well, WTF did you expect?"

He heard my comments over the course of the afternoon, and was an ass to me all day.

It wasn't a great Easter, but I know my Dad. He's completely embarrassed by the shithead he helped elect, and he's taking it out on his liberal daughter lol.

I can live with that. It's the little things. I have never pulled any punches and he knows it. Now he's trying to find a way to save face. I'll give him that time and meet him halfway. It's coming. He's appalled, just can't find a way to say he was wrong just yet. But I know he's there.

10. My father was initially offended by my opinion of bush, by bush's second term he sent me the card

with the bush as various monkey faces on it. He doesn't watch Fox, but he fancied himself a conservative and didn't really have access to the information you and I have because he's really old and not computer savvy. This last election he voted for Hilary. So don't give up being real--you don't usually have to hit people over the head to do it.

12. Thanks, diane.

He did come around to agree with me on Bush. I guess it's just me thinking, "we have to do this again?"

You are correct, though - he's not a computer guy for which I am thankful. Those fake news stories would have been too much to take if he'd fallen prey to them. Fox I can handle, and being real as well.

2. Eavesdropping on idiots. The new xtreme sport!

Be careful, though, or you might get a serious case of whiplash.

[C Moon]

4. :D I was evesdropping. I can't help it when I have rightwing neighbors!

[Cha]

5. trump's done his Damnedest to make it so..

it's not like he hasn't been trying.

Good to hear, C Moon!

6. +1

[TeamPooka]

8. idiots that voted for one of their own.

[C Moon]

11. Yeah, and sadly, I'm pretty sure they can be easily swayed back if events change.
