I was assisting a customer the other day for about 20 minutes. Elderly woman, her husband in tow. He had advanced Parkinson’s, I learned. She had a very self-depreciating and gentle demeanor. I frequently assist older customers through complex ordering processes and find that my patience goes a long way to alleviate their technology anxieties.
At the end she praised Trump for what I presume she felt was a reasonable, low price or sales tax on her order. She asked me if I was a supporter and I gently told her I thought he was the worst person alive and ought to be in prison. Her counter to this was that he’d opened the Strait. I reminded her that he was the one responsible for its closure in the first place.
She elected to drop the subject.
Today, in light of this, I am reminded of one woman’s utter ignorance and disregard for reality, and wonder if any of this will reach her under the rock she surely lives under. I can only wish her well- Parkinson’s is a cruel disease and watching her husband deteriorate must be truly painful.

I, too, am sick of hearing people pretend that him doing a half-assed band-aid job on his own fuckups makes him some kind of legitimate president, all while strategically timing his announcements on the war so his kids can make insider trades on his behalf. Sickening shit.
The upside is many of these stupid people will be dead soon. The problem is that Gen Z is just as easy to manipulate, since both governments and families have elected not to regulate social media use even in light of its obvious harm to people’s well being.
The thing is they’re being fed a literal world-class propaganda system to prop up the Epstein Class. The right wing has utterly captured messaging in the USA, which is why this poor woman and all the rest are convinced of pizzagate and blood bleach and the legitimacy of their best try

Yup, I know.
Also why it’s never going to change. Fascism will inevitably grow stronger.
Wait until Trump comes for her husband’s healthcare coverage. Let’s see if her loyalty lies with her partner or that dumb orange fuck.
She will blame Biden or Obama or Newsom or whoever they tell her to blame.
