RW assholes in the plant nursery. [View all]
I had an upsetting experience in my first journey away from home since the middle of April. I went to a local Amish nursery. Most of the customers wore masks. However, the staff did not. Nor did they keep their distance.
I should have left then. But, I was eager to get some plants going and this place has the best prices around. (Price being especially important lately due to COVID-19 financial impact on our household.)
So I spend about 20 minutes shopping, and had still not decided, when in came a 45ish yo woman with two hillbilly-punk teens, none of them wearing masks. The young women were not really shopping, just being rowdy inside the relatively small greenhouse. The older woman with them was also maskless. I had to keep running away from them, as they were not going to keep their distance.
No doubt in my mind the mask-less customers were Republicans. I don't know if the Amish participate in politics, but if they did, they'd definitely be Republicans.
I ended up making some purchases, for which I later felt really guilty. I was so conflicted because I didn't not want to support this irresponsible business. Yet, I'd already spent the time there and wanted the plants.
It's one thing to know these Republican assholes are out there, but being exposed to them was highly disturbing.
