I was in a local pub tonight - a few known deplorables downbar. I'm good with these guys - but a known commodity.
Just overheard - but interesting. I stayed out of it.
They sounded frustrated.
Two were Govt/Mil base civilian employees - they sounded pissed about not getting a pay increase.
Like - really not happy. They seemed doubtful..."concerned" if you will.
And they really didn't seem all that impressed with Kavenaugh. Negativity from these guys was not expected.
Now - these guys are actually some of the smart ones. And might be the first to figure it out. Engineery-types.
Another, dumber America-hater guy was pushing the NFL thing - "Kapernicks wife is devout Muslim - that's why he did it." - "They decided not to air the National Anthem this year - they caved."
The Mil-base guys seemed like they didn't even want to hear it...like they were tired of it, and just wanted to watch some football.
The tides might be slowly turning...but a hard rain's gonna fall!
