      I had a coworker at my old company call her communist and I was like… “What the fuck are you talking about?” And he was like “well that’s what my Cuban dad said” and we had to like… Go over what her actual positions were and at the end be was like “Jesus she seems… Really reasonable” and it was just like “yeah man. America is really far right. She’s pretty much the dead center of left in this country. A communist she certainly is not”

        It’s wild how many conservatives would flip if they just had a thought in their heads for more than half a second. I’ve had a similar experience with certain things while talking to strangers and it’s funny, if not a little sad, when they go “oh I guess that makes sense when you think about it, yea”.
