Multiple Choice. You Decide Which Answer Is True.
It seems like it was just earlier this week when I found myself in the same room with:
A) A person who, in reference to "the election fraud," once told me that we should give the Pillow Guy a chance and see what he comes up with.
B) A person who insists, to this day, that "The people who took over the Capitol Building were all Antifa."
C) A person who told me that "Putin is just defending his country from nazi neighbors and if Canada was all nazis like "Ukrainia," we would do the same.
D) A person who has obviously misunderstood a current online spoof about Costco and now believes that Costco is killing bald eagles, "our great American symbol," for their chicken nugget packages.
E) A person who said "That Elon Musk guy sounds like he should run for president. I'd vote for him. Got a head for business!"
F) All of the above.
Care to take a guess? Sadly, the correct answer is F) All of the above, and, yes, I was referring to 5 individual people. But, not to worry, there were plenty of sane folks in the room, too. Yes, Republicans do walk among us. They can often even seem to be relatively normal and nice people, at least until certain topics come up. "Freedom of Speech" indeed! Oh, and it really was earlier this week. In fact, it was on Monday. Was I in some wacko place like South Carolina or North Dakota? Nope. I was in Tarrytown, New York.
