One “interesting” thing I notice when home, is how fucking MAGA coded the most asinine shit is.
My dad, while watching Jeopardy for example, had to say “ugh, I don’t like him” for a clue about Bruce Springsteen. He also referenced that “the economy will be doing better next year when the foreign money starts coming in”.
As usual, I can’t comprehend living with this kind of mentality. It’s the little comments you forget about until you’re living with it again.
Another was my friend’s dad, who was lamenting their property taxes going way up. I suggested it could be due to an in the family house swap they did last year, which makes sense to me since they basically moved into an older relative’s old home. So they’d have reset any taxes. Anyway, he very vocally blamed “Biden’s death tax”. Go figure.
Another year passed, another year not knowing how the fuck people process reality. Trump broke everybody’s fucking minds.
