The Crazy Liberals I Know

So, this past weekend we scattered my dad's ashes...along with the ashes of his two dogs. It was a chance for me to visit with my brother and dad's widow. This is always interesting because they are both leftists. I find them very, very interesting...and not in an uplifting way. My step-mom lives...in Arizona. Says she'll never live in California. See the irony? She's a sweet person, but obsessed. She brought up how Biden really won Arizona! I'm not even following the story anymore so my reaction probably didn't excite her. My brother pointed out, "Yeah, they asked the court to not make the results of the audit public so you know he really won!" I'm like, "Oh, ok." See...I'm not a Republican. Far from it. But, if you are around a liberal and don't agree with everything they say they consider you a Republican and then start trying to rip you apart based on their false premise. They're really obsessed. And...when you dig a little deeper you can see they're pretty dark.

My brother has become a real thorn in my side. Continues to make rude comments and tries to start fights like we're 8 years old again. I simply don't have time for it anymore and told my immediate family after arranging all the arrangements for dad's ashes I'm done doing shit for people. I told my kids, "Call me Dad Lebowski", and they laughed. My brother doesn't have a job, smokes a lot of weed, and lives off what he inherited from my dad. Totally irresponsible, inept and fixates on the most mundane tasks...

I started messing with the lefties. At lunch after our little ceremony, for some reason dictators came up in the conversation. They like dictators, you know. I mentioned that there was a poster of Mau Tse Tung at my kid's high school (California). No reaction. Then, I went on to say, "He beat Hitler in the number of people murdered. But, my personal favorite Pol Pot. He really got brutal!" They smiled happily and seemed to agree that Pol Pot was great. My wife later elbowed me and chastised me a bit. These people are really screwed up. I have to laugh but I don't want to be around people like this anymore. At the very best I just don't have time for it anymore. At least I got a good chuckle out of it. And, it's funny how shocked they'll be when I become Dad Lebowski...(planning for my upcoming retirement, you see...)

How about you? Do you have any crazy, totalitarian family members? Let's hear about it!...

    The reply about maybe having been able to read some of Trump's tweets was not really about your comment, I just wanted to make sure I was being honest about what had taken place.
    As to my ex-buddy's being "narcissistic", that may be, I don't really know. As I said, he accused me of "ignoring" what he said. Maybe he was ac-
    tually looking for some kind of a "knockdown,drag-out" argument, and was dis-
    appointed because I didn't give him one.

    Thanks Abaco and other contributors.

    So many of us have these stories of old friends and family who we recall we could long ago talk to, work with, eat dinner with and enjoy a beer together on a hot day. Now, there is a demand for sharing some political identification before common civilities can start.

    Cherish the memories, but there are people who are to be dropped, our time and contact is not appreciated by them, most of all, they are not good for ourselves.

    While you can sit and stand, talk and listen and walk, new friends acquaintances and relationships are to be made.

    I feel your pain on that, doc. I can relate. There's a breakdown in logic with these types. Science?....When they say, "I follow the science." ask them to state the basic steps of the scientific process and watch their eyes roll around...

    Very good points but add to those questions ,what if the unvaccinated person believes that there is only risk of adverse reaction and no reward to the mRNA serum?

    Funny you mentioned, cognitive dissonance. That is one of the things that we parents found being applied in our grade schools! However, when you caution a 39-something child to do research before taking the jab, that seems caring, but instead led to complaints that questioning was based on conspiriacy theories. Since she took it as soon as possible, I think it is effecting her common sense, if she ever had any. Mike Adams in Texas said his friends are exhibiting signs of losing common sense after months with the jab. We know tht prion disease is something the vacine companies admitted could happen. Dementia at 30, instead of 70.

    I'm with you, LibertyBelle. Sometimes I can't figure out what is being said right away. Even then, like you, sometimes I have to ask.

    The high mucky-mucks said (I believe) that masks were unwarranted. Now they want to impose mask mandates, The vaccine was pooh-poohed. Now they want to make it mandatory, Except that now it's no good (supposedly) and masks are necessary.
    And if the vaccine works, why isn't it enough to get it oneself, and why won't a vaccinated person be safe even if he's next to an unvaccinated one? So if you want to be safe, why not get vaccinated yourself?--Except that some people can't get vaccinated because of youth, age, or state of health.--But then, do the sick really have the right to make life unlivable for the healthy, and to interfere with their going outside, and having jobs?

    Escaping and taking advantage of other cultures? I have heard some talk on the radio about that. Such as people moving to lower-tax states, taking their leftist ideology with them, and then ruining the state they move into.

    Actually, I think I could have read some of Trump's tweets before the 2020 election; the libraries closed a little later, I think. But I regarded them as largely irrelevant to the basic issues.

    Were your dad's dogs killed because he died, or were they already dead anyway?

    Sorry to hear that Stormi:(
    As parents we want our children to exercise their own free will , just as we did. How to pass on our wisdom , experience , knowledge , and critical thinking is the difficult part. I am daily confronted with the self talk question “why don’t my adult kids ask for my advice or thoughts about issues confronting us today” ? I think the answer lies in the cognitive dissonance they feel when confronted with reality. It makes their belief system very uneasy.

    Yeah? Haha...I avoid the stuff now. And, they probably did pay off government officials. Just is what it is. I know somebody like that, too, by the way...LOL

    I agree and also think they want everyone to take it so they won’t be responsible for their own fear based decision.

    I can only imagine what some social agency talked her into. Ignorance is bliss, I guess.

    If he had been only a Democrat, I could have stood it, if he had not nagged me about politics. But in some cases, I did not reply to certain things he had said, in order to avoid an acrimonious quarrel (which fact I mentioned to him once or twice.) But he insisted on being nasty with me about it. Well, I suppose, I should just let it go, as "Good-by, old friend." But then why should he claim not to be interested in politics?

    I agree that just staying away from people that irk you is the best. Don't have the energy for it anymore.
    Like the others, I am sorry for your loss and thinks it's pretty cool that your father's ashes were scattered with his dogs.

    Leftists just like ideology and when the SHTF due to the leftists policies, they want to escape and take advantage of other cultures that still have wealth. The want to take that wealth and then move on to even better pastures.

    I dont even want to associate with leftists anymore. Entitled blacks are at the top of my list of peoples to avoid. Blacks should thank obama an biden for setting back race relations many decades

    From Dr. Jordan Peterson, I learned that the Right tends to appreciate/support a hierarchy and the LEFT hates them (because it leaves people abandoned).

    But what I have TOTALLY noticed... The left USES a Hierarchy to CONTROL people on the right.

    Take a NEWLY MINTED Doctor. Taught to be a skeptic... But only of the "incorrect" things like HCQ, Ivermectin, and NEVER Remdesivir.

    Interesting. The left was smart, they took the meaningless jobs in Admin and HR... And now control the hiring practices. They could care less about the bottom line. Just getting people who will toe the line.

    And the companies and the country will fall because of it.

    Now, you can't fault the doctor. They are literally MINTED through the SAME PROCESS the CIA uses to brainwash people (Sleep Deprivation, Rote Memorization, and ABSOULTE TRUST of authority).

    And those are supposed to be the wise people amongst us...
