Today at work

Actually, late yesterday people were attempting humor by posting memes. In the "before" photo, someone was getting political. I usually just roll my eyes and go "whatever". I don't get political at work. I work with engineers and managers, most conservative. I guess I'm becoming a grumpy old man, I wasn't going to let this go without a retort. So I added my own meme in the "after" photo when I arrived early at work this morning.

Well, the Trumpster saw this and within 90 minutes covered my meme with another meme. By lunchtime, someone had enough and pitched everything into the recycle bin. Fine with me. lol

We just can't let these people go unchallenged. We need to stand up to them, that their opinion is the only one that counts.

Before


After

You could also change that label to

"Total number of Republican base voters who know who Rupert Murdoch is or why he lies to them"

or

"Color of supremacy that the president and Republicans support"

You may buck up someone else who's silently putting up with the bullshit. It always feels better not to feel alone.

"He'll lower my rx prices!!! I hate HRC!!"

Now, crickets. NO ONE EVER dares speak a word about frump.

They're probably hoping no one remembers their idiotic foolishness.

It won’t convince the nutjobs, but for the less politically obsessed, it makes it clear that not everyone agrees with the Republicans.
