44. People can become so blindly loyal to a party that they just are unable to judge objectively.

Oct 2020

I have talked to several Republicans that don't seem to grasp the fact that they are supporting a party that's stated objectives would destroy them. They can't even admit that could not even survive without programs such as Social Security and Medicare. Tens and tens of thousands would be left destitute within a few months without these programs. It really is aggravating and I just totally don't have any time for them anymore. I don't want their friendship or really to have any desire to association with them because they seemed to be compelled to justify their insanity and will not keep their damnable opinions to their self.

I am just to damn old to tolerate their crap.
