What would it be like to be gay? You would feel threatened and a need to hide your identity. In Payson, Arizona if you are a Democrat you might get the same feeling. If you were a gay person you would know that no matter where you went there would be other gay people. The same is the case for free thinkers. Many people feel a need to keep secret or low key if they are agnostic, atheist, or anything out of the mainstream.
In our new environment the Kadizzles have gradually come to know the few and far between liberals in Payson. Open minds are a little scarce here.
You meet one person of free thought, they introduce to another, and another. Soon you feel hope that there are people capable of rational thought.
Last night Kadizzle took a motorcycle ride down by the lake. Kadizzle had been told by some new liberal friends that there was another good liberal living near the lake. Sure enough Kadizzle bumped into his new friends at the lake. Kadizzle stopped there because he saw the truck of the new person he had not met and hoped to meet another person who could see through the fog. Shortly the four of us were sitting in chairs by the lake exchanging liberal conspiracies. Now Kadizzle can count six people who are disease free in Payson. Wait there could be more. We attended the Democrats picnic and the opening of the headquarters, so maybe the number is more like twenty.
The plague of stupidity is thick in Payson. For that matter it is thick in Arizona. On the PBS station in Phoenix they have been interviewing candidates for office in the next election. Frightening to see how many Trump lickspittles there are.
Kadizzle is out of the political closet. Letters to the local paper have let the locals know Kadizzle is a flaming liberal. A lot of gay people say it is liberating to come out of the closet. Being out of the political closet is also a feeling of freedom.
