Strangers in the Night
"Leave me the hell alone!! You’re a fool. My husband is an L A sheriff who is far smarter then you found ever hope to be. He too said you’re an idiot. So leave me the eff alone. Quick writing your insane shit. I’d be so ashamed to be a party Of lies. If antifa. Of KILLING BABIES!!!’n. Truly despicable. Shame on you and your kind. Gross !!!" --
I have a casual friend who has worked in the media for many years. I've known him about thirty-five years, and we keep in touch these days by way of facebook. One of his facebook pages has "followers" across the country. Most of the discussions on this page have to do with history -- including railroads from the 1860 - 1900 era -- and while the majority of the group are conservative christians, I accepted his invitation to join, and enjoy answering his questions.
A couple of days ago, he posted a question on the page: "Will Americans ever trust elections again?" Having a sick sense of humor, I enjoyed a giggle reading through the responses. A variety of brain-washed and brain-dead republicans had left a splattering of hilarious responses. They ranged from the fully confident (the Supreme Court would rule that Trump won), to hateful (Harris is Fidel Castro), to delusional (Biden = antifa).
Doing a quick mental calculation, I determined that this very discussion might provide me with some entertainment. Thus, I became the first to respond that yes, I trust the results of the 2020 election. I noted that republicans did better in the House, Senate, and state elections than they possibly could have if there was coordinated, wide-spread cheating by the Democratic Party. Within fifteen minutes, a large number of people agreed with me.
For every action, I suppose there is an equal reaction, or something of lesser quality in this case. A human being responded that I "must be joking," noting that the Democratic Party cheated by having millions of dead people vote. Millions! It just wasn't being reported in the main stream media! Now, to be fair, I had voted by way of a mail-in ballot, avoiding standing in line at the polls. Yet, I doubted that any dead people had voted.
So I pointed out that I had only heard of two actual names of dead voters nationally, and both of these republican claims had been proven false. One was an elderly lady I saw interviewed on the news, still very much alive, and the other was the late Smokin' Joe Frazier. I noted that i am friends with two of Joe's children, and that his family was furious that Rudy Giuliani had lied about this in his silly press conference.
"You're an idiot," she told me. "It's a FACT! Everyone knows it's a FACT!" So I quoted the late Senator Moynihan regarding one's right to an opinion, but not to "facts." And I questioned if her parents had not taught her to look both ways before attempting to take a shortcut to logical thinking? As a result, a growing number of people were supporting my position, while to her discomfort, no one had her back.
Thus, she insisted that I stop posting on the discussion, and called me several other crude names. Not wanting to injure anyone's delicate feelings -- "oh, oh, oh, feelings" played in my head -- I asked if agreed that millions of ghosts and goblins had risen from their graves and voted, she would admit that Big Foot had voted twice in every American city, as reported on Pizza Hut News? I was disappointed when there was no response to my generous offer.
That is, until a full 48 hours later, when she sent the e-mail quoted at the top of this humble essay. The strangest thing is that she included contact information that I have not included here, an odd touch for someone who does not want further communication. My thoughts and prayers go out to her husband.

You are so patient and thoughtful. Love this OP. 
Must be fun to be leading a life feeling like that........ 
Can you imagine all of the wild insults dancing in her head? "
Insults) flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup," to paraquote a Lennon song? A mixed drink in her cup?
It's interesting she found it necessary to invoke her husband's occupation as some sort of scholarly 
source of evidence. Either that or an inferred threat: "My husband is a cop and he can arrest people." Ooohh. 
Poor woman has derailed.
. and yes los angles pd is very raciest . living in glendora ca, wed hear horror stories about the la pd for years .

So there's that.
You are far more patient than I could have been.
from George Soros!
I'm still waiting for mine, but his office told me "the check is in the mail."
My wife engages on Facebook and occasionally wants to read me excerpts from some of the insane postings, which I usually politely decline. You can't fix stupid. Thanks for the laugh.
A group of neighbors were gathered on our street after the mail was delivered it happens from time to time. We live in a small enough town that news travels quickly and these are generally gab fests and gossip..er..town news is shared.
It happened long enough ago that the vivid details are not so brilliant so brevity is all I have.
Like you after a time of discussions floating around one individual broke from his side conversation with another. With raised voice the old verse of “you’re killing babies” rose above the din.
Picking out the Democrats in the group we received a virtual finger stabbing with that refrain voiced over and over.
We locked eyes, the phrase was directed toward me and I answered...
“Of course, you can’t eat them alive”.
Well
verbal bombs were launched and we disbanded quickly. That persons house is up for sale.
I should note I live in a very red area of northern Michigan except on our little street. Out of 15 families 7 are Dems. Quite unusual.
