Ran into my first serious Q--Anon today in the wild. Was at McDonald's getting hubby hot fudge sundae 'cause he loves them and I love him. Drive-thru was not moving so went into. Guy waiting struck up convo.

Told me Biden is a clone Biden and they found the clone factory next to HRC's house last week, but media won't cover that. Said most of congressmen are clones. Clones are controlled by cabal trying to take over world.

I have met a few old warriors.
Not many young ones.
Old warriors, have eyes that are deep pools of compassion.
They have the patience of trees.
They talk little, but can move quickly.
The tools they use, they know like the back of their hands.
They are quick to smile, and never get angry.
For they know the warriors code.
Never use force, unless it is needed, and then use it overwhelmingly.
Never bluff, nor threaten.
Commit totally.
Be guided only by great feelings of love.

Don't get me wrong. I really love my city Portland and don't hate hipsters at all. But some days, a few of them are beyond obnoxious. Here's my brief poem: "Hipster Virus." It's just a joke that arose from an unpleasant encounter with the most ridiculously pretentious coffee shop crowd I've ever seen, and it wasn't even in Portland! LOL https://qr.ae/pvYTWk

Have you never seen Alejandro González Iñárrituh's thought-provoking film "Birdman" starring Michael Keaton? Here's my recommendation. https://qr.ae/pvYT99

@Lindalemondrop I was listening to podcasts at work today, talking about this. It's a very real concern, but not entirely surprising given the fascist coup they're still trying to pull off. Not sure about legal challenges at this point, as it seems if the GOP is able to simply run out the clock until they're able to take control again, legal challenges won't mean much then. My point is that dems always try to be polite and play by the rules, and the fascists simply weaponize that against us.

Here's a link to an essay I wrote on the modern Christofascist movement. "Christofascists: Fake Christians, fake patriots" https://qr.ae/pvYTM9

"A Recusant Life of Reilly: Ignatian Reflections" - an essay I wrote with some philosophical reflections on John Kennedy Toole's excellent book "A Confederacy of Dunces." https://inserviceofthereal.quora.com/A-Recusant-Life-of-Reilly-Ignatian-Reflections

Donald Trump is what you get when John Kennedy Toole's ridiculous fictional character Ignatius J. Reilly (from the book "A Confederacy of Dunces") is possessed by demons.

I literally have less anxiety since deactivating my Bird account and coming to CS.
