I play bluegrass and regularly perform at a bistro in our smallish town. The Bistro is a gathering spot for townies of all stripe - left and right.
The lefties always want to talk politics and be confrontational. I don’t want to wreck my opportunity so I usually just fend them off with alternate topics. The tension has steadily built with lefties unable to control themselves. The ownership has had to intervene on occasion to keep it from getting physical.
So over the past three weeks I’ve noticed a curious lack of lefties coming in. I don’t know if they are boycotting (which would be stupid because the place is basically run by leftists) or if they finally realize that they cannot control themselves.
Leftists are not known for being especially introspective so my guess is the former ;’}
Introspection is out with them... and yet they are suppose to be so sensitive and intuitive. They really don’t know themselves for all their affinity to art and whatnot. It’s like some they have some blinders on their soul. God knows!
