Politics attracts the Karens.
Karen is the lady in the neighborhood association who walks around taking photos of weeds in yards so she can harass the homeowners to “keep our neighborhood beautiful”.
She is the busybody who wants to tell everyone how to live their lives.
When she gets into politics she turns into a raving fascist.
It is not so much that she hates others—it is that she loves herself so much that she believes she has the Divine Right to Rule.
In the good old days the Karens were carted off to the insane asylums by the men in white coats where they tormented the insane asylum employees until they were drugged into silence or put in cells wrapped in straight-jackets.
I’ve got a mother-in-law that was head of the HOA for a while and also went to an Obama rally in 2007. We moved half way across the country to get away from her and one of my sisters, both named Barbara and both control freaks. A couple of weeks before we moved, someone called DHS on us saying we had no electricity, no food, no running water.
We did have the electric turned off but were running off of solar panels and a generator ran the well pump and hot water heater so when the crack head looking DHS girl showed up, I turned on the faucet and heated water came out. The bladder tank still had pressure and water in the water heater was still hot. I turned lights on. I opened the 12vdc chest freezer/fridge and there was cold milk, fresh meat and veggies. A few days earlier it was full of beer but it wasn’t in the house. I had it in the 5th wheel travel trailer as I was doing some work on it.
She questioned the kids one at a time and by that time she had nothing on us so she grasped for straws and wanted us to pee in a cup. My wife did but I told her no out of principle. She wasn’t there due to reports of us doing drugs in the first place. I told her it was time for her to leave.
We still don’t know which Barbara called DHS. Both had been raving lunatics about us moving. They acted like we were taking away their kids.
Yup, there’s a lot of dangerous little totalitarians out there, especially these days.
