Blue Angels Flyover Brings Solidarity to Detroit Amidst Heavily Politicized Global Pandemic

You are aware of the current global pandemic of Covid-19. You are also more than likely aware of the polar politcizing that has also been attached to the issue. I personally have experienced the heated debate fueled by quarantine alcoholism, even in my own marriage. But today the Detroit area was blessed with some much needed common ground.

People all around the Metro Detroit area briefly staggered our of their quarantine caves with squinty eyes and hands shielding the sun to view a flyover from the Navy's Blue Angel F/A-18 jets. Afterwards, social media practically exploded with a solidified opinion from both sides of the political spectrum that this planned event truly sucked. Unable to see it myself, due to a Zoom meeting with a marriage counselor, I set out to see what people thought.

"Yeah, they just kind of, like, flew by. Maybe I just don't get it." Says St. Clair Shores resident Kyle McDermott muffled through a mask. McDermott, who claims to be left-leaning in the political spectrum agrees with Tom Wadler who lives across the street. Wadler is a self-proclaimed alt-right conservative and typically says things like, "I'm not racist, but" and trails off on racist tirade. Wadler and McDermott don't typically see eye-to-eye, but do agree on the lameness witnessed here today. Wadler added, "The whole jet thing is kind of gay if you ask me."

Thanks are in order to the United States Navy for bringing us together in these trying times. Becky, if you're reading this, please come home. I'm sorry.
