(8,795 posts)"displeasure" several years ago to go to a big combination Flea Market/Gun Show/Knife Show because I was helping someone unload his boxes of junk for the flea market. I never in my life saw such an assemblage of kooks. Oh yes and mixed in with the guns and knifes on the tables most of the "proprietors" had literature to hand out that was all about conspiracy theories, anti-Semitism, racism and the need to do home-schooling etc. I saw families that didn't look like they had ever seen a barber, a dentist or a shower marching along with swords and daggers they had just bought and wearing t-shirts expressing their bigotry.
These are some of the folks the pundits tell us we should "reach out to" and "listen to" because they "haven't been heard". Most of us heard their BS long ago and made the wise decision that they shouldn't be listened to.
