About 10 years ago, I met a guy who happened to know an acquaintance of mine. As we conversed, I said something to the effect of "Oh...you were part of that group that went Spring camping to the same place every year. Are you still doing that?" And he got very melancholy and said that they were no longer doing that. I asked why and he said because he and this mutual friend of ours had gotten into a big fight about...of all things...Big Foot! This resonated with me because this mutual friend and his daughter were always wearing Big Foot t-shirts and paraphernalia. However...I had never actually inquired deeply about their BF beliefs...assuming it was somewhat tongue-in-cheek and just a cute "dad-daughter thing" together. OH NO...turns out that my friend apparently really does believe in BF and was really appalled that his buddy did not and was basically calling him out for it. The argument and discussion got so personal and deep that they stopped being friends and doing the annual camping trip.

Oh...the classic epilogue of this story is that the guy who believes in BF is a huge MAGA posting crap on FB all of the time. Surprise....surprise...
