Discussing politics with a stripper
JohnSmith69
layin low but staying high
I've had thousands of conversations with strippers over the years, and we've talked about a myriad of topics. But I rarely discuss politics or current events of a political nature. I keep up with current events and consider myself politically astute, but this just never seems like a topic of logical conversation with a young sex worker.
So I was a little surprised when my stripper "date" for the evening recently brings the subject up after sex. This is not the DS by the way, since sometimes I may give the impression that she is my stripper world. She's a huge part of it but not the entire universe.
So we are lying in bed post sex, and out of the blue she says: "why did Obama give one of our nuclear weapons to the Arabs." Now to my credit, I resisted the very strong urge to laugh. If she was a midget or if I were high, then I probably could not have restrained myself but neither was true so I kept myself under control.
Not quite sure how to respond, I started with : "what do you mean." She says that she read online that Obama gave our nuclear weapons to Iran, and that didn't seem right to her. No I agreed that would not be right, although as much as I despise Obama I think she might have read that story a little too quickly.
So I explained the deal that was reached with Iran on its nuclear program and how some critics think this may allow Iran to develop nuclear weapons. I said this was probably what she was reading about. She seems to understand in a general sense but she insists that she read that he gave Iran some of nuclear weapons and that just isn't right.
So I took a different approach and told her again how awesome her breasts are, particularly her pointy nipples. The conversation went much better after that.
Anybody else ever tried discussing politics with a stripper?

My favorite black dancer recently brought up the topic of the Bill Cosby scandal. Her point was why didn't all of these women come forward when the offense happened. I had to agree with her.
After I returned from Paris a couple years ago, I was talking with a favorite dancer about my trip. I told her I had seen Napoleon's tomb. She asked, "Who's Napoleon?" It is impossible to measure the depth of strippers' ignorance.
My ATF really lives in a cave. I mentioned Caitlyn Jenner a few weeks ago when she was hot news, and she asked who she was. I said she used to be called Bruce Jenner. She was still clueless.
Brilliant!
I always told the bosses that that place drew the smartest girls, mostly because it was more of a talking job.
See, there they don't really have much to offer in terms of private dances. But this one Candy did break all the rules and Sunnyvale's ordinances and wear something completely see-thru for me.
Talking is about all it is in the Sunnyvale clubs.
Candy was a refugee from San Francisco. Since she has gone to work as a ticket taker at the shoreline ampatheater.
There was another one with a perfectly civilian web site which talked about all the books she had read.
Both of these two were very in tune with the politics of the policing of strip clubs and the laws against prostitution.
Often black women are very politically aware too.
So they exist. Now in the standard dance booth type club, the girls are going to be less inclined to talk, as time is money.
I believe that in TJ, like in the Cascadas Hotel over the Hong Kong Bar, I'll get lots of time to talk to politically aware Latinas, during our in-between times. I see that the working girls in TJ are very politically aware.
But I am not there yet.

They hate taxes. They like weed and rarely are conservative Christian.
If the customer wants to talk politics, she might just nod her head, laugh, or change the subject.
Usually most people in my area are republican leaning in their votes. local strippers seem to be mostly like that too I believe. I have not been doing surveys. I try not to talk politics where I work at except when everyone inthe area already shares the same view.
My ideas for the new $10 dollar bill. Put Hillary on it. replace in God We Trust with What Does It Matter? lol
plus Donald Trump is secretly a democrat helping the democratic party and screwing all the other republican candidates and getting large groups to register democrat. Brilliant strategy if that was his plan.
I was thinking. One of the biggest potential threats to the US is Russia, north Korea, or even Iran getting fed up with Obama and say screw you and fire an EMP missile that detonates over the US frying all computer circuits for a thousand miles or two. cars won't start. food doesn't get shipped. banks get shut down. no power, no water, fires burning out of control all overthe US due to the emp power surges.
nuclear meltdowns all over the US within weeks later when the diesel fuel runs out or sooner if generators got fried.
people dying from lack of water with heat indexes over 100 degrees. absolutely terrible.
mobs and rioting all over the place. then all enemies taking advantage while it takes 2 years to even get anywhere close to getting power back.
All of the above could have been avoided if maybe we spent 5% of our power bill building in insurance to protect against an emp attack. Even worse is that almost no one expects it. That is why it would be so bad. no one expects Russia to act like Donald Trump and fire an emp missile.
I can't imagine a serious political discussion.
She is generally conversant in regard to current events and has her opinions and isn't afraid to share them. She's nearing the end of her dancing career and her skills from her previous career are seriously outdated and is developing a plan for life after stripping. That said, the very large majority of dancers that I know are "tabla rasa" personified. ( blank slate). My ATF is no dummy - she can mentally calculate drug price discounts for quantity buys - she occasionally works at an automotive paint mixing company ( family owned) and pre-dancing career was an asst. Manager of a Dunkin Donuts where she stole more than $100 per day and never got caught. I doubt if she's ever heard of Iran and is totally unaware of political structures other than the judiciary. There she is quite familiar with how decisions are made at district courts, appeals courts and the sentencing process. She's been arrested 5 or 6 times and is currently on a two year suspended sentence and has her drivers' license suspended. If she gets caught driving one more time she'll be labeled an habitual offender which is a mandatory 6 month to 12 month sentence in State Prison. The last time she was arrested I waited three days before bailing her out and she's convinced that she'd die if she had to stay. Here in the Northeast there's several steps being taken to decriminalize heroin addiction. I started telling her about some of what's been in the news and she was totally unaware. And this affects her on a daily basis.
There've been a couple of dancers I've enjoyed talking with. One was a big fan of John Stewart's; she always DVRed them for later binge viewing. She also put her daughter through college, and she had an exit strategy -- buy a small B&B in Panama and enjoy the rest of her days there.

I'm assuming this statement is facetious. I my experience strippers are working class women and they want a more fair and just world, not a libertarian or low tax world. They oppose Christianity, but they are not necessarily pro-weed. The two that I mentioned above are consistent with this description.

But then again, most Americans hate taxes but like the services taxes pay for. So maybe that's just more politically inconsistent as opposed to libertarian.
But in generally, if politically aware they don't support Libertarianism, as that is just social conformity. This is my experience of them.
As far as weed, yes some are very pro weed. Most would not want people put in jail over it. But not all want anything to do with it themselves.

PS, the say San Diego has crumby strip clubs. But it looks like it and Escondido have phenomenal AMPs, along most of the rest of So Cal, say starting from Santa Barbara.
Oregon has crumby AMPs, and not many of them.
