There is clearly something wrong with...well, let's call her...Marisol.
Marisol was a work colleague in the media world back in my NY days. Pleasant to be on the same team with. Great sense of humor. We made fun of the same people. I only remember one boyfriend in her midst, but I never viewed her as anything but a work mate.
I left the company and ultimately the East Coast. I heard she gravitated to another media firm. At one point, I ran into a mutual friend and I inquired about Marisol. The woman waved her off.
"She's gotten so weird."
This is not something I could confirm from the annual Christmas card we traded.
Through one of the Christmas salutations, I learned she had made some major career switch ditching the media. Good for her. But, ultimately I heard she wound up as...I will be nice...a wellness coach.
But, my thought was...if she's happy...knock 'em dead.
I first started to notice the problems in her social media posts about a year ago. She started to post a lot of Tik Toks from the extreme left. You know the ones I mean. From these hackneyed pundits who take 10% of truth and spin it into a 100% fact...or so they think. There are videos from both sides of the addled aisle. But the left ones are always the most visceral. And insulting if you don't agree with her. I personally took great offense to her thrashing of the Dodgers for "bowing down to Trump" when they visited the White House. Had Marisol done a soupcon of homework, she would have realized their visit was an edict from the MLB commissioner. But, Marisol doesn't have time for a lot of facts.
I watched initially with amusement, but the hatred on her side became more hostile and venomous. She started to cut ties gleefully with any one who slightly disagreed with her. I'm still attached largely because I keep my many diverse political views hidden. But if I didn't, Marisol would have offed me months ago.
When Trump won last November, Marisol went over the cliff. The first few days post-election prompted almost hourly videos from the bed she seemingly couldn't get out of. I noticed also that, almost immediately, a fairly attractive woman started to look like an old lady.
But, like Lazarus, she eventually rose from the dead. She devoted her every waking moment to destroying the current Presidential administration. The postings got wilder and featured more fiction. She moved to more right wing platforms, saying that Instagram and X were the work of the devil. At one point, she devoted her social media posts to figuring out how she could move to Canada. And she cut out more and more people.
She devotes time now to going to protests every week. Because, as she continues to point out, we live now in a fascist country where there is no freedom.
Here's where Marisol earns the moronic ribbon. One thing I noticed even up to last year was Marisol never denied herself to vacation...alone...all over the place. Last year, in this "freedom-less"nation, Marisol enjoyed a few weeks on international vacations. Not a bad reward for watching a so-called dying democracy.
And chances are that Marisol will travel again...Trump be damned. But count on her being alone because that's where it is headed.
As stupid as she is acting, I truly hope somebody gets her the mental health she needs.
Dinner last night: Leftover SPO.
