I met my first Qanon follower last night.

OMG!!! Surreal. “They are controlling everything” but no clear definition of who “they” are. And “You’ll see.” Not sure exactly what it is I’m going to see and when I asked they couldn’t tell me. Just effing crazy. He’s providing contract services to the local military base. I told him I didn’t think that was cool at all and that he’s delusional. Then this other idiot starts in with Clinton, Pelosi, and Biden all just as bad as the last one who was in office. That idiot said he hadn’t voted in 10 years. Hallelujah for that.

And I couldn’t leave the room, as I was doing their dialysis. Holy crap. I was stuck and they would not shut up. Couldn’t argue. I just played dumb.

Just tell them that there is a new dialysis protocol your office is working on, and it requires the patient to be as quiet as possible to get the best result.

By believing the QAnon bullshit, the patient has already signaled a willingness to listen to quack medical advice. At least this spurious advice has a salutary effect, does no damage to the patient, and spares the anxiety level of the poor person obliged to be in their presence.

Started our by saying Louis Vuitton used the foreskins of freshly circumcised little boys in their skin care line and went straight down hill from there.


The irony of them being anti-vaccine while receiving dialysis did not escape me

that's what they'll tell you if you are even able to pin them down.

But they can't tell you who is in the Deep State Club. Aside from Hillary Clinton and Obama, that is.

met a couple of die hard trump fans who are so delusional that it hurts one to even talk to one of these two...I pretty well ignore them 100% now. A shame since both of them were at one time, pretty good friends. But when they went over to the 'crazy farm'...

...he has the 1776 tattoo on his arm and everything. He swears Trump has the "Life changing Tesla energy source" that was supposedly confiscated by his grandfather at MIT. Cult. It's a hell of a drug.
