Political Differences - A Tale of Three Sons!!!

My older voted for Clinton. My younger was a Trump supporter. My step- couldn't abide either thus his vote went to the Libertarian pot head.

I consider myself in the middle leaning to the left. Regardless of political differences, most folks want the same things. job security, health insurance, housing, safety, ad infinitum. There are difference of opinions on how that should be achieved.

Years ago when my younger was a little guy, I picked him up from school and took him to the voting polls with me. Afterwards, I told him that I voted for Clinton. My was very indignant "You voted for Clinton! That's not very nice! My teacher voted for Bush!" Apparently they had a mock election at the school and the Shrub won.

A few months later, we went to the pet store and he bought a pet rat. We were at home and he was pondering what to name the rat. "I can't name him Bill Clinton because I also Billy." "What about Hillary" I suggested. "I am NOT naming that rat Killary! he said. "Maybe I will name the rat Ronald Reagan!" Billy surmised. "If you name that rat Ronald Reagan. That Rat is sleeping outside!" my hubby piped in. He finally settled on the name Chelsea.

So last year, my and I were both working at the fair. We met for dinner and I told him, if you vote for Trump, I will kick your butt. "Well Mom! I already voted for Trump TWICE!!! I am NOT voting for that Feminazi Killery!"

I didn't kick his butt - I love him unconditionally - although he did go into shock when I did his taxes and he found out how much not having health insurance cost him.
