The Trump effect?
« on: August 21, 2019, 08:26:45 pm »
I'll just drop this little gem in here!    They say it is a real letter to the editor.  It is Bab Bee worthy!

Aug 18, 2019
This past Tuesday, at a Trader Joe’s in Tucson, a male shopper came in wearing a “Trump 2020” t-shirt. My husband and I immediately felt threatened and observed the entire mood of the store shift as well. We quickly and cautiously finished our shopping and moved to the checkout stands.

Before we left, my husband asked our checker — a Caucasian woman —to convey to management the anxiety we had just experienced at suddenly finding ourselves in a confined space with a man who looked the part of a typical Trump-terrorist.

We were not prepared for our checker’s response. Thanking us both profusely, she grabbed my husband’s hand like a lifeline, two fingers flying to check her own neck pulse. The Trump shopper had just been through her line and her heart was still racing with fear —she actually needed us to help her calm down! I wanted to run after this man and ask if he knew what he had done to this hapless woman, what he had done to us, but of course he knew; that was the point and he’s got plenty of dark-minded company, and that’s the most terrifyingly awful thing of all.

Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

I saw...I saw...a MAGA hat! Suddenly I was shaking with fear. I had to rush to the bathroom to throw up from sheer terror. When I arrive at the checkout, the cashier was hiding under the checkout table from fear. Then I noticed a stampede of people running out of the store screaming. Someone called 911 asking for SWAT.

What a bunch of crap. If these people are that "triggered" by a tee-shirt then they are too stupid to be allowed out in public. They should just hunker down in their home in abject fear of Trump, and leave the rest of us normal people alone.

I doubt very much that this is true in anyway, but if it is, those people are pathetic, paranoid, fools. There are a million things to be frightened about in American society. A Trump shirt is not one of them. If these people ever got mugged for real, they would crap themselves and have a heart attack.

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists.

I just saw a MAGA hat as well and exclaimed: "I was wondering where you got off to"!

BB worthy:

Quote
I am desperate at this point for a solution.  My family and I live on a quiet cul-de-sac in what we thought was a nice neighborhood.  Upon returning home last evening from shopping, I noticed that one of the homes on the corner of our street had a giant "Trump 2020" sign on the lawn.  I called my husband to warn him as he was on his way home.  I also immediately gathered our 3 school aged children and told them they are not to leave the house under any circumstances.

My husband made it home safely by quickly accelerating his Prius past what we now know is a "Trump House."

We called the local police and registered our complaint, to no avail.  We also asked for a 24x7 patrol car to be parked in front of that house.  No joy there either.

Finally, my husband asked if we could have a patrol car escort us past the den of terror if we made limited ventures out of our street.  The community policing rep was actually rude to him.

So here we sit, trapped in our own home for 3 days now.  The only solution that we see is to hire private security to escort us out, or risk or lives by having to pass the "Trump House" without any protection. 

Please, help us!!

Sounds like a great way to clear the aisle of gabbing broads so I can pick up my steaks....

It won't work here, though.  I retired in MAGA country.

Green Valley is a tiny retirement community between Tucson and Nogales, AZ  (border town).  Sounds like Alzheimer's or Dementia.
