Guys, I have been busy today. I will try to get to reading the article above. Work load picked up today at work.
While I was at it, one of our "vendors" came in. A big Trumper. Oh, Oh, Boy.... He was waiting for his opportunity to start a conversation over the events anyway he possibly could.
As normal, I try to stick to work with him. But, he's a rabbit Trumper. First off, he starts right away with the "internet!" "Their taking our rights away from us! On Twitter, You Tube, Facebook, etc. And, they've gone after Parlor etc. Their taking the side of those Communist Democrats! Now, we are all going communist for sure! If you don't post things that agree with the communist state and that Communist BIDEN! They'll ban you! Lock your account, and their goes your freedom of speech etc. All the right wing you tube video makers are warning all their posters about this, cause they don't want their you tube channels taken down! This communist!!
Then, he says, "Trump didn't do anything wrong! It was a protest." Which I told him, "NO, it was not a protest! That was not a protest. that was insurrection, sedition, and a coup on the nation's capital, they went up there to over throw and election, and virtually the government, and to damage our democracy! That was no protest. None of that is covered in the constitution that you have the right to do that, I'm sorry." Oh, god.. "I think he got mad." But, Trump is the only thing that stands between us and those communist! I said, "What communist?" Like that Nancy Pelosi, he said. I said, "Nancy? her? She's no communist. I doubt that. She's a liberal from Baltimore, who has a lot of money, and pushes the left down in the house, and works as a centrist. I don't know where the communist stuff come's from? Why because she represents a district in CA? oh pls. Do you know what one is? I would expect you using Bernie as one? Where are these communist at? I can't seem to find them myself actually.
What about BLM? he says. Oh, you mean the poor. The disaffected. The Rejected. The unaccepted of the Capitalist system. By default, maybe that could make them communist, but if you ask them, they don't call themselves communist, or think of themselves as communist, "Just down and out."
Anyway, he keep ranting like Hell, about how unfair, "Their cause was being treated, and how angry they were etc! carrying on,, until finally he started saying, well, I dont' care about Trump or those people up there and "What they did to the building, or to the people etc." "All I care about is what's happening to ME! and the rest of us!"
And you know good and well, those grievances are as full of baloney as the rest of his shit is. I don't want to pay taxes, I don't want to wear a mask, (like he wasn't), be racist, rude, an arrogant snot, run over the top of everyone else etc. down the lists. ( all the usual suspect GOP reasons)
This Devine right to everything.
It was quite distasteful just standing there listening to him, until finally I found the right excuse to leave him standing there.
But, make no mistake these people are Angry, ignorant angry.
