I pretty much had cleaned out most of the haters and narrowed minded people a long time ago. After awhile, it was too much effort to deal with them anymore. I put a lot of time and energy into trying to find redeeming qualities in them, trying to be a better, more forgiving person, but eventually the negative often outweighed the good too much to make it worth the trouble. At this point in my life, time is much too precious to waste on some people. The best I can do is to wish them well and go my own way.

I don't have much patience or tolerance for the "clueless yuckers". In this day and age, there is no excuse for that kind of willful ignorance. Sometimes, I think such people just look for reasons to ridicule others. If it hadn't been masks, it would be something else. That isn't an alternate belief system, that is mean-spirited, uncivilized behavior. Anyone who survived high school is familiar with that kind of cruel and ugly behavior. It would seem that Trump gave them license to do and say things that perhaps they always wanted to.
