Ashli Babbitt, the woman shot by Capitol Police as she and other pro-Trump rioters tried to force their way deeper into the building Wednesday, appeared to consume a steady diet of heavily conspiratorial beliefs from all corners of the MAGA-verse.
While I do not mourn her, I do somewhat mourn my dumb-ass relatives who are completely brainwashed by this bullshit themselves. I can’t call them victims because they choose this diet of lies and outrage. But, damn, it is crazy.
There are a lot of very sick and twisted folk around. So, I prefer to stray home and out of the fray. Every time I go to a grocery store it’s like combat. (Has what I want to buy been handled by some diseased individual and put back on the shelf??) Mask and gloves always.
