Dear MAGA Peeps; Your Gaslighting Days Are Over
Your denial of the con is not proof you haven’t been conned
This morning I was scheduled for an iron infusion to deal with severe anemia. I have the worst veins of any non-IV drug user and it can be nearly impossible to get one in me. Therefore, this morning I was nervous. I am nervous now.
My health insurance arranged for a ride to get to and from and this is the actual conversation we had (though slightly condensed):
Driver (D): Who are you going to vote for?
Me: Biden.
D: Are you serious? You don’t think he did anything wrong?
Me: What are you talking about?
D: I follow the Constitution. I pay my taxes. Does Biden?
Me: Yes.
D: Hunter Biden doesn’t pay his taxes. (I should have asked if he knew Hunter and Joe are not the same person but MAGA people have no respect for facts)
Me: Who are you voting for?
D: Anyone who tells me the truth.
Me: Is that person Donald John Trump?
D: Yes.
Me: He doesn’t pay his taxes.
D: He has better lawyers.
