Marathon Hooplefest in my garage

 He pulled up in front of our house and it began. A man 80 years old with a boyfriend more than half his age. We sat and with a logic sledge hammer Kadizzle tried to pound fact into his head. This man who freely admits he is off the sexually normal chart wants to vote for Donald Trump. He cannot comprehend the war on people who make up the sexual minorities that is being waged by the Republicans. For hours Kadizzle tried to understand how a man who was a successful business man could be so taken in by the Trump cult. Rational thought would not penetrate his mind. 

At one point Kadizzle went inside and got his laptop computer with a video of a prominent lawyer. ( The video was featured on this blog Aug 14). As the delusional man started to watch the video he could not tolerate the truths that were being told. With no reason he refused to watch. Kadizzled offered him $50 to watch the video, and then $200. The man would not watch the video. Kadizzle asked him " Just watch and tell me what is not true".  He was not going to take any chance of busting his delusional thinking. 

During the conversation whenever the Hoople could go to a conspiracy theory he did. The entire experience was an amazing example of how Hooples think. They love paranoid insane stories. One story was about how chefs at the Whitehouse were murdered. Others were equally bizarre. 

Like every Hoople, when you asked this man where he got his information, what news did he watch. It was the same answer every Hoople gives. " I don't watch the news".  What do you read? No answer, but all Hooples have the same stories, so they must get this strange information from the same place. None will admit the crazy source where their insanity comes from.
