I was at the doctor's office yesterday.

They had the local news on in the waiting room (ABC-7 LA). It was fine until I was done and waiting to get my next appointment, the local news cuts to a shot of the outside audience. There was a woman in the front row with a shirt that said "Trump Touched My Cunt(ry)". Needless to say the news cut away very quickly from the obscene shirt. And they didn't show the audience again for the rest of the broadcast.

And there were children in the waiting room (this was my ENT's office). All I could think of is "Wow, what an example Trump and his supporters are showing for this country. This is no way to live. And how are they not embarrassed by this shit?".

Next time someone says "think of the children", I'm going to use this as an example. I could not get that image out of my head the rest of the day.

PROUD DEPLORABLE

That was the decal on the rear window.

Disgusting and proud of it -- these people are beyond redemption. Embarrassment is not part of their makeup.

We can only hope that they keep to themselves and leave the rest of us alone.

I see a lot of this shit where I live. A funny joke though, I went to the Yardhouse restaurant about a month ago. While I was waiting for the elevator, I saw 3 giant trucks on the street. One had a giant American flag flying out the back, followed by one with the "Don't Tread On Me" flag, followed by one with the Blue Lives Matter flag flying out the back. And I blurted out "Hey look! It's the straight pride parade!". I got some laughs for that one.

"Vote for Trump, she's a c#nt" tshirt to a rally. Right in front of them was a boy, maybe 10 years old, who appeared to be their son. Nasty.

That is beyond disgusting. These people have no pride and no shame. They really are deplorable. Ugh! Just look at who he has brought out of the woodwork. And these people think they are the "moral majority"?

I agree with you. That's what stood out to me when I read it.

"There was a very overweight and very slovenly looking woman"

OP wouldn't have written "There was a very thin and very slovenly looking woman." I'm sure it would've been "There was a very slovenly looking woman" had she not been overweight.

The size of the woman had nothing to do with the story. It's just another way to look down on someone.

The person wearing that shameful tshirt. Thin or overweight doesnt matter to me but living in a heavily conservative area i can tell u ive seen plenty of eager beavers like said subject, and theyre usually overweight. They seem to have no shame about displaying their hate and brazen lack of shame. As the hubby tells me, some are just born broken.
