    Dear diary,

    I think I made my boss mad this morning. He brought up the debate. Said he didnt watch it, but wanted to talk about it. Conversation hit to the DNC being extreme, and I went mask off, finally after years.

    Background, I live in a highly conservative/fascist area, it's a militray town in the south east and boss is proud catholic air force retiree. I began to drag the american right as being out of touch with the world. He threw the " so I'm out of touch" line, and said yes with no hesitation. My dragging of everything right of center, including the center itself, most likely of earshot of clients for an event continued. We went separate ways and he hasnt talked to me since, going by my office multiple times.

    Damn it felt good to finally say something, and not play route the conversation game.

    I hope everyone has a great/safe weekend :)

    Edit: I'm a coward so this is a big deal for me lol

      That is a big deal, imagine if even one person went to research one thing you said and thats the first breadcrumb in a trail to leftism. o7

        Thanks, but I'm going to talk myself out of this compliment.

        I've known his family through his daughter for a decade, and if they fired me good luck finding someone who can understand this environment for table scraps (everyone is either on furlough or partial unemployment). So basically a near no risk pop off lol.

        But thank you, I'm still slightly surprised/pleased I did it.

      Your response to him asking if he was out of touch should have been asking him how many people have died overseas from American intervention.

        They honestly believe they're saving the world, and that those were bad people. The propaganda has been extremely successful.
