20. The bullies in this country love that kind of nonsense.

May 2021

My oldest brother-in-law is a lifelong Republican who is that way.

He always hated my family. He was even mean towards me when I was just a little kid!

I later asked my oldest brother about him, and he replied that he was a bully who only seemed to respect mean people.

Then I decided to test my brother's idea during a holiday gathering at my brother-in-law's house. (It was one of several holiday visits that year, long ago.) If a long-haired guy was on his TV, I made a comment that he was obviously some kind of sissy. Then when a short-haired guy was later shown, I said, "Who the hell does he think he is?! GI Joe?!"

After I did that stuff for awhile, he eventually looked at me with a grin and expressions of respect, like he was thinking there was finally a worthy member of my family!

So my brother was correct about him.
