I’m finishing up 5 days in NYC, accompanying longtime friends from Vancouver. We were walking this evening and a mid-30’s fellow from Maine, who was here on business, joined into our conversation. The discussion turned to San Francisco, where I happened to work out of the past 10 years. I mentioned that the city fell apart during Covid so I left and have been working remotely ever since. I added that this was due to the city being badly mismanaged. Here’s what then transpired:
Him: So you’re a Republican?
Me: I’m Canadian.
Him: Oh that’s good, because there’s no way I could ever vote for Trump . . . blah, blah, blah.
Me: A lot of people in California are not big fans of Kamala.
Him: Well, at least you never elected a buffoon as a Prime Minister!
To say that I was shocked by the depths of inanity/stupidity/ignorance of this comment, would be understating my reaction by 1,000%.
Me: Sorry, but I’m not a fan of Trudeau. Have a good evening.
