I was NEVER a glomoner. I was conservative by 5. Hell I was conservative at 3. Dad had me on his shoulders walking through a train station. I spotted a hippie. I said quite loudly “Dad look at that bug”. Snickers from the crowd and a glower from said bug and probably a 2 inch height gain for my dad. We got home and told my mom, this one is a keeper. I was a funny kid. At 4 when Santa showed up I wanted to know why he was wearing grandpa’s shoes, and where is grandpa?
I was a moderate in High School, but anti-Democrat. I’ve never been able to stomach their platform. I’m of a generation that sees them as the slavery and anti-black party - To this day.
