There is an election in Virginia tomorrow, but also one in Utah. Where my cousin Jim is a candidate for mayor. (Please vote if there’s an election where you are!)
He reported two phone conversations he’d had today, and I’m going to mostly-quote from his Facebook post, especially for my mom since she won’t see it otherwise.
In one, a woman asked him, Are you vaccinated?
Jim: Yes.
Why do you hate the Constitution!
In the second, the guy asked him, Why are you trying to get people to cheat in the election?
Jim: I’m not.
That’s a lie. I got a postcard from you where you tell me I can mail in my ballot.
Jim: And?
And all voting by mail is cheating! Don’t you know that? How can I vote for a candidate who doesn’t know that?
Jim said both conversations ended abruptly after he told them, essentially, You’re nuts.
One of his readers asked him about representing people like that, and his answer was those two weren’t voting for him.
As in, let’s have it just be just two people who think like that. Right?
