      Once upon a time, I had a friend named Dani. (Not her real name.) I knew Dani since 4th grade. She and I were always the heads of the class; co-safety patrol captains; leads in the school play; etc. So, we spent a lot of time together.https://twitter.com/nprpolitics/status/989953579308998657 …

      With President Trump's victory, Republicans hold more power than they have had in nearly a century. But apart from politics, Right Wing News founder John Hawkins said, the average American conservative feels bombarded daily with disrespect. https://n.pr/2FpZtjO

      We didn't go to the same middle school, but we were friends in high school. Again, lots of shared classes. (My high school was very large so that was uncommon.) We became close friends -- siblings, almost.

      College came around. Every time I visited home, we'd grab coffee or something to catch up. It was nice. A year or so after college ended, our friendship ended.

      I had texted her for coffee a few times, and she hadn't responded. I randomly ran into her at a bar and said, "Hey! You didn't return my calls!" Her boyfriend, Junior -- who I also knew and who knew me -- was next to her.

      I didn't think anything of it. Why would I? She and I had been friends forever and he knew that. But, he was furious. He explained that, "he was old school;" that I was being 'disrespectful' to him; and, that Dani didn't want to talk to me.

      Because the idea that it was 'disrespectful' was such obvious insecurity and because I just wanted time with my friend, I tried to meet him halfway rather than rejecting his nonsensical premise. But, he kept going back to the "you have to be respectful" nonsense.

      She never spoke to me again. Her friends expressed disgust in him to me but that was it. Eventually, I realized that respect was a concept he neither understood nor cared about. What he wanted was control and dominance, over her and me (trying to get me to say "I respect that.")

      I see him in most Trump supporters. (He is one, of course.) Even though they're currently enjoying and monstrously exercising a degree of political power not see in a long time, they cast themselves as victims because of cultural "disrespect."

      But, they don't care about respect. They may demand it, but they want dominance, power, and social impunity. And, they deserve nothing less than condemnation. (I still miss my friend.)

      That is very sad. Thanks for not reinforcing patriarchal behavior.

      Oh, this was my early twenties so I unfortunately I did — a fair amount, too — just not in this instance.
