Bear with me Anons. Story time. I'll make it as brief as I can.
My grandmother is 97. Smartest person I know. Double promoted in school back when they allowed that sort of thing. She was in college at 16. You can bring up something as random as Argentina cuisine and she can hold a conversation, or bring up common conversation like the faults in the political system and she can hold a conversation. Even now at 97. Her mind has not slowed down. She still lives alone, her own home, pays her bills, walks to get breakfast. Very independent for 97. Heck, for 77.
I take her to the Doctor. Took a day off yesterday and we went to the Doc. Normally her car conversations are brilliant. Last time we went to the Doctor she was talking about sub-atomic particles. The hilarious thing with her is these conversations always come out of something, she doesn't just sit down and start going on about this stuff.
Her life made me torn on a lot of ideas. The idea of being enslaved is not fitting for her lifestyle. She's owned her own home, as in, mortgage completely paid off, since I can remember. She's moved at least 5 or 6 times in my lifetime, every home, paid in cash. She was a simple school teacher that saved her money (depression baby), made a few investments, and earned and developed what she had into a very comfortable life now. She retired at 62. 35 years of just chilling and enjoying the world. She writes novels as a hobby. Not much published but it keeps her brain going and it's awesome to see her have a hobby. She's had this hobby and has been retired since before I was born. So I see someone like her, never gave into religion but is extremely spiritual, she's insanely smart, to the point she's not very emotional. High IQ types are like this. No hugs or anything. She loves. She just shows it in her own ways.
97 years. Retired at 62. Full out home owner for 35+ years, spiritual, never held down by religion or fake guilt, …it made me think there was a way to ignore the system and be free in your own world.
And then I took her to the Doctor yesterday….
She always claimed she votes democrat strictly "for her pension". Ok, ok. Not the right reason to vote but if my ass was …if ANY of us was dependent on that money to feed us, we would probably find a way to vote that way, too. Maybe not. Not the point.
She bought Comey's book and read it cover to cover and wanted to pass it on to me. I politely said "no thanks". She said "are you becoming a Republican?!" Then went into a rant on all the "horrible" things Trump has been and is doing.
I'm not going to try and redpill a 97 year old. Her life has been lived in full. Let her finish it happy as is. But, damn. They even have their grips this deeply. This sort of deception makes me want to quit my job and just protest full-time. She has so much knowledge and history in her and how much of it is lies and deception. The history of the world as she sees it is so wrong.
Q,
I want to fight with you. Sitting on this board was old 6 months ago. The opposition is editing county lines for votes. Rallying people to get public grouping and rallys this weekend. They mock and slander, push anger and hate. The masses willfully stay ignorant.
