2. as calmly as I could, I told her that since she'd mostly been pleasant,
we should avoid talking about politics, since we're at a dog park and not a debate and all.

6. exactly.. I was about to ask her
if I looked like a communist to her. I was also going to ask her what she thought of this government-funded socialized dog park we were enjoying so damn much, or how nice it was that my dog wouldn't get her dog sick because the goddamned overbearing tyrannical state bureaucracy says all dogs should get certain shots. but then I didn't.

11. And All Modern Republicans Are Fascists
would have been my reply. At least that is closer to the truth.

14. Sounds like she's asking for a trip to the Gulag
We'll tell her we're going to see Billy Joel. :)

15. "Oh, modern Democrats want to do away with all private property?"
"I was not aware of that!" would have been a good thing to say. Make her think about what communism actually is.

20. Did your dog piss on her leg?
I certainly hope so. My mother and grandparents didn't flee Soviet-occupied Ukraine during World War II and risk their lives crossing Europe just to get the United States for more of the same, thank you very much. Probably one of the few things that would incite me to punch someone in the face is that insinuation.
