(3,676 posts)I want to believe that someone brainwashed them. Or that they were raised that way and they can't help it. Or that they are only kidding and they must really be Democrats at heart. Then I will hope that they change their minds and decide that Obama is not really the antichrist. But it doesn't ever happen.
When this lady who works for me admitted that she was a Republican I was shocked. She seems so nice! I said "who has been telling you these things?" And she said she could think for herself. Really?
Then when she made that crazy remark about Obama stealing the election I said "But honey it was a landslide!" And she said no it was not. Really?
Dear God how can this happen to people? I want to know who is responsible. I want their name and their telephone number and I'm going to call them and give them a piece of my mind.
So now I realize that although I am quite fond of this lady little things that I used to gloss over are now really bugging me. I used to go around fixing her mistakes and gently reminding her to remember to do such and such. But today I spent 3 hours fixing stuff that she should have fixed and I'm thinking okay maybe it's true and she really is stupid.
I would never fire her. But I am tempted to be a little more honest in her performance review than I had planned.
But that would be wrong, so wrong, so . . . . . I do nothing.
It's crazy-making.
God help me.
