I don't take politics too seriously because I think all politicians are crooks and a necessary evil needed to run the country. I always just hope we have enough safeguards in place to keep them from owning the country outright.
Americans do take their politics seriously and I made a mistake last night in front of a few people I like a lot. I insulted Trump and it was sad but interesting to see how quickly the Trump supporters got their backs up. My position has always been that I'm a guest in this country and I should keep my opinions on Trump to myself. And that's what I should have done last night.
I have to give myself a pat on the back for deciding to keep my big mouth shut when I saw their reaction but it's really hard to say nothing when people are praising Trump for all the good he's done and completely ignoring the bad. It was obvious no-one cared that Trump's actions are often obscene.
Anyway, I shut up quickly thinking it was better to be kind and not upset people I do care a lot for. After all, we Canadians have our own cross to bear with our idiot prime minister, Trudeau!
