I like our friends.
I do not like our friend's friends.
Stuck last night at a party, two hours from home on drunkmas-eve in Wisconsin so there's no going home, with 10 total folks.
Two are life-time cops.
Three are libertarians.
Why yes, there was some overlap.
I learned pretty quickly to sip my beer and qvietly sit and listen to them talk, or at least pretend to, which was awkward but fine.
... until politics got brought up and how they were ok with nazis as a conversational ideology, and how much they respected Trump...
... and I'm not dumb enough to punch a cop... but I sure wanted to...
So... yeah... not a good or fun time was had by all!
@JulieSqveakaroo Oh god, this reminds me of EVERY attempt Rik and I made to socialize with the local BDSM culture that wasn't through friends—except for the open tolerance of fascists, yikes!
