Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

Political people are becoming more and more deranged.
I looked the word “deranged” up to make sure it would be appropriate for that first sentence.
It was.
The true Democrats and the true Republicans – those who vote for the party regardless of the candidate, and who stand up for that party and candidate regardless – are deranged.
It’s confusing to those of us who really don’t care the opinions of our favorite music, movie or political stars. Yes, political stars. Unfortunately, over the past couple of decades, some of our politicians are acting more like famous stars than caring common folk.
It’s confusing for those of us who really don’t care which political side has the power. That’s what it’s all about, anyway.
And now, electric vehicles, that scourge the left has been touting for the past few years, have turned right.
If you had told me two years ago that the electric Tesla vehicles would be a target of the political left for vandalism, I would have told you that you were deranged. The left loves electric vehicles. The left tried to shove electric vehicles down our throats. They tried to convince us that electric vehicles would slow global warming (While the science of global warming is real, the ideas of those on the left and the right are nothing more than scientific theories.).
And now, it’s those left wingers who are vandalizing Tesla electric vehicles.
Why?
Elon Musk. President Donald Trump’s hit man made Tesla what it is today.
Musk is easy to dislike. He appears to enjoy firing people. People with families, people who did their job as they were told to do, were fired. Point blank. Musk celebrated those firings. While the government is no doubt too big and needs to be reduced, there’s no need to celebrate ruining people’s lives. Apologize, and tell them it’s best for the country. But don’t go on TV gladly wielding a chainsaw to show your power and apparent joy in ruining lives.
I digress.
Looking out to both sides from the midde, you guys are confusing.
It makes me want to go outside and mow some grass, a relaxing chore free from our everyday plugged-in lifestyles.
But I need a new lawnmower, not much, just a small push one. Do I get a gas-powered or a battery-powered mower? Will I be labled left or right based on my choice? If I go gas, will we all die from a poisoned atmosphere? If I go electric, will I be adding more toxic waste to our already overcrowded landfills?
Like I said, you guys are confusing.
I need a beer.
