9. I think that maybe 70% of my neighborhood is under the Q spell.

During our weekly meet up yesterday, the conversation shifted to Eric Garcetti and one of my neighbors just blurts out "Oh yeah he's funded by George Soros!". And then he starts just trash talking San Francisco and California in general. I just wanted to say "Oh yeah? If you hate California so much then what are you doing living here?".

Even worse the conversation drifted towards education and then all kinds of conspiracy theories about teaching kids gender identity and sex education opened up and things started really getting uncomfortable. Then they brought up the conspiracy theory (I'm sure Alex Jones is behind this one) about male athletes "identifying as" female athletes so they could win competitions. At that point I had to make an excuse and leave.

Oh and at one point one of my neighbors - who I am pretty sure is a raging hardcore racist, said that he was boycotting the Super Bowl because of the NFL's stance on supporting Black Lives Matter. And during the sex talk, he says to his wife - "they just approved this and you won't hear CNN say it because they are afraid of reporting this!"

Yeah I got to find a new place to live.
