I'm not putting that SHIT in my garden! Have you ever seen what OTHER products they sell? It's all pest control. Bugs, mites, rodents, everything. What they DON'T tell you is that the Miracle Grow is designed to make your plants WEAK so that you have to buy their OTHER products and keep the pests at bay!"
You literally cannot have a conversation with him where he doesn't bring up some deranged conspiracy theory. I would hate to see his browser history tbh.
It's pretty funny because for the most part we get on, and he's one of those anti-establishment conservative types. We can have a political conversation and agree with each other about absolutely everything (the common man gets screwed by big corporations etc etc) until the second we start talking about who we think is responsible, or who the "bad guy" is because I'm all "It's fucking Jeff Bezos and the billionaires obviously" and he starts ranting about the World Economic Forum and Bilberburgs and "THE GLOBAL CENTRAL BANK!!!!!1", oh and the fucking second that China gets brought up it activates the reactionary in him Manchurian Candidate style.
But we can also talk about plants because we both like to grow shit, so that's nice neutral territory (for the most part as long as I don't bring up Miracle Grow LMAO).
In addition to my obnoxious MAGA boss who doesn't shut up about Trump, I have a middle aged coworker who is deep into Q shit. Straight up believes lizard people. I caught snippets of her talking the other day about how the Titanic sub had cabal members on it and they actually snuck the sub to Pakistan because...?
Sad thing is she's honestly a nice person otherwise. Genuinely upsetting to me how easily otherwise decent people are swept into the current of reaction and conspiracy theories.
