14. Hope that DeWine holds strong.

Weeks ago, when Ohio started the social restrictions, I asked a Trump cultist at work why our Republican Governor was “trying to make Trump look bad.” (As a FOX News worshipper, he had previously declared the virus was a hoax for that reason.)

He replied, “It’s because DeWine is a goddamn RINO!” Then he explained what “RINO” meant, as if I didn’t know.



He never previously complained about DeWine.

I don’t work there anymore, so I have no idea what he thinks now.

I used to have some fun with him, pretending to be a fellow idiot. I’d bring up GOP contradictions and act confused by them, and pretending to seek his guidance just to hear the hilarious “explanations” from him. (I also hoped to break through his cognitive dissonance by using indirect methods.)
