“What is it that your husband does,” my wife’s co-worker asked her.
“He’s a constitutionalist,” Mrs. Pistachio replied.
“Oh.” Her friend’s attitude suddenly went sour. “So, he likes Trump.”
“Yes,” was the reply. “He supports Trump.”
“I don’t like that man. I can’t wait until he is no longer President.”

I wish I had been there. First of all, I am willing to bet that if I asked, not a single dislike regarding Trump by that woman had anything to do with policy. Second, since when is the Constitution something to dislike?
The even more interesting thing is that I thought the Democrats were complaining because they thought Trump was acting in an unconstitutional manner, yet when my wife said I was a constitutionalist, the woman immediately assumed I was a Trump supporter. In other words, they know he’s following the Constitution, and it is pissing them off.
When did the Constitution become a negative term with the Democrats? Or liberty, for that matter. Or, capitalism?
They are seriously beginning to sound like the Soviets did when I was growing up.
