It’s so freaking eerie. It almost has the feeling of those entranced by Jim Jones. Even to the point that some of them will ingest deadly substances if their leader tells them it’s okay.
It IS eerie, Snood.
Nancy and I had an outdoor snack dinner with friends last evening in their backyard. He is a staunch American conservative...a Trump supporter. We've been able to keep our friendship by staying far away from any political talk when we get together.
But, almost inevitably (which I feared) the talk came around to the coronavirus...and he started with talk that could have come straight out of the mouth of the moron-in-chief.
After two or three of the moves in that direction (which I diverted by moving quickly to other subjects) he started once more...and I finally had to do a drama rendition of a diversion. I stood up...raised my hands to the sky...and shouted very loudly, "Jesus Christ Almighty...save me from all this ****." I then left the backyard and took a ten minute walk up the street where they live.
When I came back into the backyard, it was obvious he had gotten the message. No more!
They are like ******* echo chambers...unthinking echo chambers. I love the guy and his wife, but just cannot figure out how he can be so devoted to that kind of obvious bullshit...and the disgusting turd who is spreading it.
