anyone but there is a whole slew of people I would rather avoid than spend time with.
I had a difficult luncheon today. My favorite cousin, who used to be my best friend, married someone who has become a rabid trumper and thinks Covid vaccines are a Democratic hoax. A few weeks ago my beloved cousin told me that a) her son couldn't obtain health insurance because he is white and b) she voted for trump because "Kamala couldn't answer any questions". I despair of her ever returning to sanity. She has recently been diagnosed with cancer and her aunt talked me into going to a birthday lunch. So it is my plan to see her if she needs help while sick, but otherwise write her off, basically.
Two of the women at the lunch are also trumpers. One of the two women is really crazy. Although I had never met her in person before today, the day after the election she sent me a "we won haha" message on Facebook because she didn't like things her sister and I had talked about on Facebook that were derogatory about trump. I mean it was probably months ago. But she remembered it and wrote to me. So it was an interesting moment when I introduced myself and she said her name, I said mine. I figured out who she was. But I don't even know if she realizes I am the woman who sent her a blistering reply in return to her election day message and blocked her.
That's the little town I live in. I am surrounded by pod people. So I'll bet Oren Lyons would know exactly how I feel. I need to listen to him. We all managed to leave our claws in for the lunch. So I am happy about that. But I don't want to spend time with the pod people anymore.
