Phoned an 88-year old relative yesterday after more than a decade of no contact. We had a cordial conversation about family, the societal challenges to individual liberty and c competency. etc. So far so good, until the name of the red-headed man was uttered - I don’t remember whether by her or me. She declared herself a “never trumper.” I shared, in turn, that I had prayed fervently for his election. I shared that I spend a huge amount of time reading widely all points of view, etc.. She declared that she does not read widely and does not have the interest to do so. She then declared, “The problems are things I can’t do anything about. I have no control over these things. The one thing I can do is vote.” It’s this “logic” that is sinking the country.
I had a similar conversation with an older relative. He even agreed that Cuomo killed a lot of elderly by putting Wuhan patients into nursing homes. That didn’t matter, orange man bad.
Sometimes you just have to recognize that some people excuse evil for what they want to believe and really always have. Age doesn’t change them.
