This is my third time to the office. Im waiting for the Doctor to come in and whie waiting in the examination room, I spot this. I start flipping through it, and I am getting upset.

I wait for the doctor to come in. I immeditely ask him, hey what it this? why is it here? He blew me off and just said "oh its just an opinion piece" and I said, yeah, but who put it here, do you believe in this? And he just shrugged. I said, Im leaving, that is so wierd, thats weird to have in a doctors office. And I left. Ill never go back to that place.

I need a doctor who believes in science. You wanna be christain thats fine, but this literally says,for christain nationalism. gross.

Putnam CT, USA if anyone is curious. I want to post the photo in google maps reviews, but I am afraid to, even with my google account being a burner. Yes, it's the red pocket of an overall blue state, but, I just, was not expecting to see this.

I did appreciate the doctors deafeated expression he wore apon his face and I walked out.

If he denounced it, or explained something..maybe.. but, he blew off my concern and shrugged. No. Plenty of other doctors around, I was driving pretty far anyway.

Yeah, because despite it all, I am still open to and sympathetic to folks who genuinely have just been duped somehow. It definitely gets harder and harder to buy that folks are oblivious the more time that goes on, but I'm never gonna make the mistake of pushing someone back into the fascists' arms because they think I'm not willing to accept them.

Lol. Maybe this wasn't the first time.
