Had some fun with a Trump supporter [View all]

I went to a meeting of the credentials committee for the Ward convention this afternoon. Only three of us showed up. I was happy about that since for the amount of and type of work we need to complete three was the optimal number. I am tired ( 3 hours) but we got so much done and I feel like we solidified as a team.
We met in an office conference room. One of the men working in the office ( a Trump supporter) came in and asked me "What does the L in DFL stand for?" I answered "Labor". He then asked me "What kind of car do you drive?" I answered "One that was assembled in a waste-free factory in Indiana by American workers."
My fellow committee members started laughing. The man left the conference room; but he did come back and announce he liked me in spite of me being a socialist.
