What Can I Say to Keep You from Putting Your Finger in that Socket?
What Can I Say to Keep You from Putting Your Finger in that Socket?Description
As I rounded the block of my polling place, I saw a couple bent over one of the VOTE HERE arrows on the sidewalk, filming a video. They were wrapping up, saying something about saving our country. Then they noticed me. I haven’t been able to stop thinking about the look they gave me when they looked up and saw me approaching. It was a kind of chagrin, I think – but also a lot like the look a child will give you when you catch them doing something you’ve expressly told them not to do. “No hitting!” you’ve said and then, you round the corner and they give you this look. You know what they were doing.
Based solely on this look I received, I assumed those two had just voted for Trump and it made me wonder, “Do they know they’re being assholes? Is that why they look so guilty? Do they know they’re doing a destructive thing and is that maybe why they’re doing it?”
