5. Who did you vote for?
With this one on our list of most annoying questions to ask your friends, you can smell the prejudice coming from a mile away, it doesn’t matter who you voted for, the query itself instantly thickens the air. Everyone has their reasons for who they chose, and if they’re not complete morons those reasons may as well be valid, but more often than not people fear to speak their minds. It makes sense, doesn’t it? That’s why voting is a private affair. However, what makes a difference, in this case, is that here you get to LIE about it, and there’s no way for anyone to find out, so it seems to me there’s been a lot of lying going around lately; otherwise, how do you explain Trump’s victory? All things duly considered, if you ask me, a good answer to the “Who did you vote for?” question would be… well, the truth, own up to your choices.
Personally, when it comes to politics, I abstain myself (side note: I’m not from the USA), because I root for the Cynic Party, which obviously doesn’t exist other than in the hearts of all of us who prefer to stand on the side while we watch the world burn. It’s terrible, I know, but hey, at least I’m true to myself.
