Today in a Red Bar [View all]

[NowISeetheLight]

I live near Palm Springs. Being gay, retiring here was an easy choice (compared to the Deep South where I was).

So today I stopped by my local bar for a couple drinks and a fish n'chips. I will say right off the bat this is a Red bar, so I never talk politics. Well, I walked in and on the TV was "Biden backs out of race". The first I'd heard of it.

What I heard was "We are fucxxd" from the Republican crowd. There was a guy in an Elephant T-Shirt there and he was pissed. "Now Kamala is running, there goes the blacks! ." Another guy was ranting about who the VP pick would be. He was bitching it would probably be the Democrat Governor of Pennsylvania "Josh sonething". "They'll take the state then, we need that state."

I heard people in panicked distress. I sat there, nodded a lot, and I was laughing inside. It was a good lunch.
