Kind of like a guide to ticks

If you live in Pennsylvania you have seen warnings about ticks.  You probably know that you can’t get Lyme disease from dog ticks, which are about twice the size of deer ticks.  That doesn’t mean you don’t need to worry about dog ticks, since they can infect you with Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever.  The best thing you can do is avoid ticks.


It has occurred to me that we also need a guide to help us avoid people with irrational or absurd political opinions.  Let’s say you are reading a letter in the Times-News.  You don’t want to waste your time on reading drivel or nonsense.  If you come across any of the following terms or phrases, stop.  No need to read further.


I did my own research:  Turn the page.  They didn’t.  Or they might have, but their info was from a Florida podcaster making shit up.


Vaccines cause autism:  Run from these people.  They did their own research.


George Soros:  Mr. Soros survived the Nazi occupation of Hungary, became incredibly rich, and has given away billions to strengthen democracies around the world.  Fascists hate him.


Millions of illegals vote:  No, they don’t, but you will never convince the bigots.  Don’t try.


Trump really won the 2020 election:  I have yet to hear how that election was stolen, but not the 2016 or the 2024 elections.  Did we forget?  


Remember, you will not change or convince these people.  Move along.  Nothing to see here.
