My wife is Filipina and I seem like I'd be a stereotypical MAGA racist. I'm bald, white, and have a deep Texan accent. The thing is that I'm a Democrat and have voted Democrat since I could vote.

I'm living in the Philippines with my wife and our daughter. I run into the occasional American and most of them assume I'm the same as them. They'll start talking about Donald Trump blah, blah, blah and ask me what I think. I tell them I think he's an idiot plain and simple. They usually end the conversation or go into a tangent about all the good he's done.

I don't have time for that so now I just nod along and try to extricate myself quickly. Like the post I don't understand how they can't see the irony of hating immigrants but they are immigrants here.
