MAGA total insanity on the job, in public [View all]

Talking with two golf course maintenance guys yesterday, I mentioned how Covid had driven up the price of golf, with so many new players now. Immediately one guy shouted out:

"COVID - there's no such thing! It was all a made-up government and radical left-wing media conspiracy to control us and take away our freedoms. All those supposed COVID deaths were just people with one foot in the grave already who died of pneumonia. And all those supposed cases were just people with bad colds!"

How does a person who is obviously insane get and keep a job, especially one in which he even marginally interacts with the public?
In my long life I've never witnessed an employee in public so demented. Magats are normalizing insanity.
