I'm sure they were members of the $27 "recurring donations" club and they cut off the flow, too.

Normally I wouldn't take such joy in the misery of others, but these people were--of all my mostly polite neighbors--the quintessential "bro personality." Insufferable. Demanding. Berating. Mocking. Fucking AGGRESSIVE, too. You MUST believe! He WILL win! We are SMART, you are STUPID! ... that kind of thing! And they wonder why no one is led to their cause?

They keep trying to cram that crap down your throat, and how many ways can you politely yet firmly say no? It gets so ya look both ways before leaving the house--rather like trying to avoid Hyacinth Bucket!!


After a while, it became an exercise in harassment.

Ya feel like this poor kid, some days!
