    No idea what really went down here, may never know. But I can say this; Last conservative friend I had, during Trump 1.0, fucking exploded on me when I pointed out the FBI regarding right-wing terrorism as their number-one internal threat. This was a fact, because it was on the FBI’s website. Their take, not mine.

    This numb-nuts was scrambling for evidence to prove me wrong.

    “Here’s a Muslim that threw acid on his wife!”

    “That’s a religious nutjob attacking a single person for not following his religion. There was no political element. In any case, did you imagine Jihadis as liberals?!”

    It went on and on like that, one bullshit “left violence” thing after another. During the George Floyd riots and demonstrations, I cut all conservatives out of my life. Despite being a middle-aged, white redneck, no one speaks politics to me. Guess the can tell somehow?

    Wife’s friend had a BD party at the springs last Friday. I’m talking to her old-ass husband (40 years older husband) and he pops off, “Glad I’m retired. I could not serve that orange bastard.” LOL, and we were off to the races. All that to say, don’t judge us old guys on appearance alone.
