Trump supporters in California

Was sitting on a bench in Cambria CA watching the calming ocean waves. The couple (probably in their late 60's) approached the bench and the man was dumping sand out of his shoes. They said hello and then he proceeded to tell me that Jesus died for our sins blah blah blah. He then asked what church I attended. Now I am agitated as these people did not know me so I said, "does one have to go to church to believe in any God"? He said, "well, no". The next words out of my mouth were "if there was a God, trump wouldn't be in office". Surprised by my words, the woman said that trump has given us so many freedoms. I am not good at debating and should have asked her what the fuck she meant but I told her that trump hates non whites period. (This was when the moron was attacking Elijah Cummings). A few more words were exchanged and you simply cannot help these sheep.

I live in the Central Valley and they're all over the place, there's even a bunch of them here who've got a "Defend TRUMP" stand set up right by the post office. The GOP isn't dead here yet.

I mean "right here" as right where you were sitting at the ocean's edge, not the "right here" with the groin-grabbing gesture.

I would have answered something like ‘...hell yeah I am a Trump supporter. And you’re right about all the freedoms that Trump has given us. I am one P—-y grabbing fool now that he is in office. Don’t you agree? I mean, we gotta support it.’
