From Gimlet, this is ReplyAll. I'm PJ Buh.

So, one of my Facebook friends this guy, going to call him Dave, who I haven't seen in

maybe 15 years. I think the last time we saw each other, it was the 90s and we were at

a pop-punk show. I haven't talked to him since then, but every single day, I watch him

argue about politics with his Facebook friends. Trump, the troops, gun control, repeat. Nobody

ever changes their mind. I watch it and I feel physically tired. I feel like I met somebody

else's awkward family dinner, but one that goes on infinitely. I was thinking about Dave

recently because my newest Facebook friend, Lucia, is also somebody who gets into a lot

of political arguments on Facebook. And recently, that became kind of a problem for Lucia.

This is a story about the weirdest summer of Lucia's life. I talked to her about it on

Skype.

Okay, so I have a million questions. Go ahead.

I guess the first thing is just like, before any of this happened, like before everything,

like, if it's okay, like I wanted to just see your Facebook page.

Yeah, I have a lot of stuff. That's my dog Benny. I have another one. She still looks

like a puppy all the time.
