...the ironic part is that it's this Covid thing that changed me.

I'm retired, and I've had a lot of free time lately because of Covid.

I've spent a lot of time doing research on UFOs and Sasquatch, and I consider myself pretty damn good at it. My goal was to try to find holes in the reports, but there are some that are very puzzling, and that's all I'll say about that.

Anyway, because of some of my successes in researching those myths, I figured finding evidence to prove the repukes right would be easy.

That never happened. There's nothing out there except bullshit and willful misinterpretation.

Hell, some UFO encounters have more validity then their crap.

But, the thing that floored me --to my very soul-- was when I figured out that the only ones telling the fucking truth were you democrats, and then they started openly going after the children. It's like a Stephen King novel going on live right in front of us, but you want to know what the really scary part is?

The real scary part is that it took me so fucking long to figure it out.
