hey! that's cool. My grandmother is EXACTLY the same and she turns 96 in 2 weeks.

she was disgusted by the cowardness of the American public.

she also thinks we're heading for civil war. I've never known her to be wrong on big issues.

There’s a lot of wisdom and experience in an observant person who’s made it as far as their 90s!! My Mom said the covid vaccine felt “all wrong” to her and declined it, and she also said, “I don’t want the world to shut down for me.” She saw right through the whole scam of coercing people to “protect grandma.”

yeah, my grandmother was disgusted that we put the welfare of those short for this world above the children.

i mean she was absolutely horrified by it.

this was something every prior generation understood. It's as if there were a near autistic level of selective amnesia.

Bizarre

This is probably part of the reason covid was created to target the “elderly”. Not only are they deemed “useless eaters”, they KNOW stuff. They know what it’s like to live through the Great Depression, they know what fascism looks like, they know how to survive without the nanny state etc…
