When Divisive Politics Affects Family and Friendships

“Hey, Honey, we have dinner plans tomorrow, if you’re free.”Free? Available? Willing? All of these words danced through my head while my lovely, wonderful Bride stood there, smiling at me. Christ. Don’t fuck this up, Sir. “Oh, sure. You know me, master of my own schedule. You want to go out for dinner?” I asked.“Well, sort of. My friend Bella invited us to dinner. Which restaurant? No, at their home.”What in the fresh fuck is this? Saturday Night is going to be different this weekend. But hey, maybe it will be fun. In today’s episode, I talk about being invited to a military couple’s home for dinner. His name is Chad. I’m so ready for one of two scenarios to play out with this. Either they’re going to be the typical Trump-supporting military family or the rare, liberal, pissed off couple who are furious that Cadet Bonespurs is screwing with their lives.Stay tuned, my Mouthy Militia. Either way this goes, I’ll have much to talk about tomorrow. Relationships have surely changed in the decade that Trump has been involved in politics. Tonight’s dinner party may demonstrate that in a big way.If you enjoy my podcast episodes, I’d love to have your support.
