I just had a zoom meeting last night with a group I belong to that is staunchly Democrat. It was the first time in a month since I'd talked to any of them. I was anxious to see what they thought about current events, hoping some of the stuff that has occurred over the last month would wake them up.
Well, I was sorely disappointed. No mention of Joe or Afghanistan -- just more COVID-19 fear porn and talk of the dreaded Delta variant, despite all of them being fully vaxxed. They still don't want to meet in person and are still masking up, social distancing, and avoiding life in general.
If they knew I've been running around, leading a normal life, and wasn't vaxxed, they'd excommunicate me from the group in a heartbeat. Sometimes I have a really hard time not busting out laughing at their idiocy. Going dark can be very challenging, at times.
As far as no talk of potato head or Afghanistan, no surprise. The only comments would have to be obviously negative or critical, revealing their own ignorance in being democrats. Unless alyssa milano was in the meeting, she seems to revel in revealing her colossal ignorance.
Good point. I hadn't thought of that. In prior meetings they've gushed over how wonderful it was to have Trump out of office and the potato there in his place.
I can really relate to Neo in the Matrix. We're living in two completely different worlds that just happen to collide.
