Taylor would often come home from work with stories of conversations he had with any given client that day. In the past two years it would usually center around the topic of J6 and the experience our family has had with the FBI, DOJ and everything surrounding that.
I think the conversations would go something like this…..septic system/work talk…..economy talk….Trump talk…..and can you believe what happened on January 6th?! We live in Washington state and there are a lot of people here that lean more to the left. So, often the conversations would go from, “well, I don’t like Trump as a person….but he did have some good policies…things were better when he was in office…he was so obnoxious though…but, can you believe what happened on January 6th? At this point in the conversation they had talked for quit some time and from what I could tell, both parties had usually enjoyed the conversation. He would go on to tell them the experience that we have had and that he was one of “those people”. It was fascinating to see how exceptions were made for him – well you aren’t the “usual January 6er”.
Taylor hardly ever shies away from conversation. He has a hat that says, “CAUTION: I HAVE NO FILTER”, I told him he should wear it everywhere he goes, to give people a fair warning. Many times we have remarked on how people that meet him either love him or hate him…it’s probably because of the filter thing :). When we first got married our conversations would really offend me. I remember taking the LONG drive from Boise to Rexburg so many times, and thinking “who did I marry”. He argues the “for side” and he argues the “against side”. We would be talking about something for hours, him arguing a specific side, and I would get so offended, because, how could you think that?! Just to find out at the end of the conversation, he didn’t really agree with that way of looking at a thing, but those are the merits and why a person would see it that way. AAAHHHHH!!
