10. You must not live in central Pa. like I do?

Trumpers here are both bigots, racists, and religious. The sweet little lady who just did my paperwork when I bought a car practically told me her life's history, the ups and downs. All of what happened to her was god's will. She even asked me about Trump and I told her that anyone who looks at a 10 year old girl with sexual thoughts isn't for me. She basically defended Trump by maintaining that he was god's chosen one.

My 86 year old golfing buddy was a Korean war vet, does military funerals, Meals on wheels, and he is a racist gun humping bigot. He asked me what was the day that will live in infamy and when I responded Pearl Harbor Day he said no, it was the day they gave women the right to vote, but my granddaughter isn't too bad, she hates minorities.

That's central Pa., my voting district voted 80-20 Trump. There are huge Trump 2020 banners and bumper stickers up all over the place. ...and they are zombies, they will never change, they hate Democrats. They didn't used to be that way. We always have a big 4th of July celebration in our town, back in the 70's we had a Democratic Rep. and a Republican Rep. riding in the same car in the parade.
