This guy is alive and I am willing to bet he was not captured. All of the hate he holds for people of color ( I mean mostly people who are the same color of those from Vietnam) he has been given permission to outwardly hate and abuse them. Basically he is the real loser.

Why not ask him? Just friendly-like?

Be interesting to see what he answered.

Usually that gets them going lol because they think I'm a friendly...on their side, despite looking like a gay woman (which I am), but I'm old enough and white, so they think they found a kindred spirit. Amazing the things you can hear from these idiots.

Occasionally, I've been able to make a point or two (the John McCain thing), but usually I just listen. Then I say see ya, and tell the person that I just can't see voting for him this time. Not quite a lie because I didn't say "again." But it makes them think I did before, but won't now. My wee bit of insurrection in a red county.

This has been some months ago however, because I've not been into any sort of face to face interaction since the pandemic. Now that I've had it, though my doc says I have the antibodies, I'm even less likely to go out however...no idea if I can infect others even though I'm now negative, can I get it again?

Sigh, staying home.

And my other neighbors across the street, who I assumed had better sense and are also black, put out a Trump sign yesterday. No idea about my white neighbors, though a huge Dem guy who walks the neighborhood every night has restored my faith in my hood lol.

I was hesitant about getting a Biden sign because I generally don't put political stuff in my yard - other than a vote sign, but I'm getting one now.

They could literally hear a recording of it and not believe he said it. Meanwhile an obviously doctored video of Hillary having a bogus seizure will be like the Gospel itself.

They live in fantasyland.

After Nixon, they bought into the Reagan myth, the Bushes' BS, and now the Trump ugliness. They'll never change.

bullshit swirling around Trump. Just my guess... it would probably be best to ask him directly, if possible.
