16. I can't imagine being married to a MAGA. I was chatting with a woman I know who has been with her male

Saturday

partner for at least 20 years. I always thought he was a nice enough guy, but I haven't seen him in years. She told me he was full blown MAGA and went to a friend's house to watch the inauguration. She said they wept during Trump's inaugural speech. After I picked my jaw up off the floor, it was all I could do not to ask her why the hell she's still with him. She's as liberal as liberal can be. The partner, she told me, is a gun nut and his whole adoration of Trump has to do with keeping his AK. It will be interesting to see how hard he lands when things he depends on are taken away by the king. At least he can still fondle his gun.
