In 2016, Monica voted Donald Trump for her son. She believed he would be "most sympathetic" to the needs to the militar. This year, she's for Biden.

“I don’t believe you.”
Last week, I went for a run.
In the pandemic, I’ve worn a mask or had one to pull up when I see other people. I try to take routes that don’t include too many people. I’ve run for up to an hour and a half with a mask up the entire time. It’s not that hard. I have no idea what people are smoking when they say they can’t breathe.
Bullshit.
I was near the end of my run stopped at a light, and I saw a young man, probably in his twenties, ride up on the sidewalk, which is illegal in Chicago.
When I saw him, I pulled up my gator mask, which isn’t ideal, as they’ve been shown to be ineffective. But I’ve already had covid, so I feel like I’m doing it for others. Solidarity.
On long runs, I have to bring multiple masks because once they get sweaty, they’re impossible to breathe in.
Anyway, this kid rides up on a silver, vintage 10-speed. He’s not wearing a mask. We’re both at a light waiting for it to change. He looks at me dead in the eyes and asks, “Why are you wearing a mask?”
I look back at him in the eyes and say, “Because there’s a pandemic.”
“No there isn’t,” he says boldly.
“What?” I scoffed.
“There’s no pandemic. It’s a big lie.”
“Are you kidding me, asshole?” I towered over the kid. He clearly has no idea how little he appears for such a gigantic ego.
“You fell for a big lie, man,” he double tripled down.
The light changed and he started to pedal away. I said, “Dude, I’ve already had it. My wife, too.”
He looked back over his shoulder and he said, “I don’t believe you.”
He was about 20 yards away when I yelled out, “I hope you get it, mother fucker! It’s awful!” He kept riding. “Go fuck yourself!”
Bystanders were looking to see who I was calling a mother fucker.
This bullshit behavior is what I would expect from an adult. And definitely from someone larger in scale. I could have blown him over with a gentle breath. I’m sure 215,000 dead people would love to hear that they died from a lie. I’m sure the whole world is in on the conspiracy that this Covid-19 is something that was cooked up in a thought bubble to ruin all the economies and take down President Trump.
But you know. People are sheeple. They’ll believe anything they’re told. Right? Right.
