BBV: Anecdote about a Republican co-worker. |
|
So this guy, a programmer, and I have had little friendly tiffs from time to time. He comes up to me today and I mentally run through my little armada of funny comebacks because I think he's going to give me some shit. Instead, the first words out of his mouth were:
"Do you think the election was stolen?"
I *totally* could not believe my ears.
Then I said, "Well, I don't know, BUT, (evidence evidence evidence). I hate to think that it WAS, because I hate to think that that's POSSIBLE, but, (evidence evidence evidence)." We had a really good discussion, and I forwarded him a buncha links.
Folks, if the BBV issue is getting out to mainstream guys, non-political junkies like HIM, it's really getting out there.
I'm really kind of heartened by this!

Most who voted * that I know consider me a sore loser, cry baby, etc, if the idea of a stolen election comes up. A few even think the ends justifies the means, and talk as if stealing an election would be acceptable as long as their man wins. But to have your co-worker approach you and bring the matter up, that's saying something!

3. I've been waiting for that ALL DAY |
|
and have gotten NONE of it. I'm completely floored. And I took the day off yesterday and spent a substantial portion of it making up snappy comebacks.
The thing is, they all know me around here by now, and they know that not only do I have sharp nasty teeth, but that I take my politics very seriously. So I guess they know better than to mess with me.
Sigh. I had all psyched myself up for a verbal flamefest. :evilgrin:
