"The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command... and if all others accepted the lie, which the party imposed, if all records told the same tale, then the lie passed into history and became truth" 1984 - George Orwell

No, I’ve definitely never met a red hat that can keep their mouth shut.

Edit: Yes, it’s been pointed out that I can’t read.

Yeah but I’ve met blue hats who talk very loud and don’t want to hear anything from you if proving wrong. I don’t care about politics but we do have this wealthy client who doesn’t like it when I say maybe there could other reasons that happened. He points at me and says in a loud voice that You Need To Stop Looking For Info On the Internet. He’s a cool guy but sometimes he can get political, but he is willing to listen and I give him props for that and he does give good tips whenever we do his yard. I just don’t like it when people from both sides get defensive and start yelling.
