My mothers run in with a cult member

[vercetti2021]

So this past week was something for both of us. I had to deal with an asshole biker at IHOP that didn't wear a mask. But it is no comparison to what my mama dealt with.

So Thursday night she is coming back from her job. Shes an accountant so she works downtown. She pulls up to a stop light and this guy in a big truck pulls out of one of our local conveniences store parking lot and he is behind her. Now my mom has a lot of anti Trump magnets on her car. So you can probably guess where this is going.

But like something must have snapped in his pea sized brain and gets out of his truck on a busy fucking street to walks to her driver side window. He knocks on her window and wants her to roll it down and he just started screaming at her. She just watched him and flipped him off as the light turn green. And that wasn't the end. He ran back to his truck that was already holding up traffic to chase her on the highway! He tried to catch up but she pulled off on our street exit and lost him.

Honestly what in gods green earth is wrong with these people that whenever that fat orange turd is ridiculed, they gotta lose all self control and go ballistic? I went online and bought her some pepper spray so if it happens again to crack the window and spray the person.

Yes we live in a very red area. Texas Panhandle is batshit insane. But doesn't stop her, myself, my step dad, or anyone else in my family. We keep on.

I hope y'all enjoyed reading these. Be careful out there. Shit is getting worse. Also we have three Biden signs in our yard! Let em get triggered

[Marie Marie]

1. I'm happy to hear she lost him.

Who knows what these people are capable of.

[vercetti2021]

15. Yeah they are nuts

But they are scared deep down when an altercation is possible. Reason for the gun fetish

[tblue37]

32. And they all have guns. nt

[Kaiserguy]

90. Anything

would be my guess ,especially in a large group

[usaf-vet]

93. Do they still sell vehicles with "Trunk Monkey" options. That is what she needed.

[pandr32]

96. I'd forgotten about Trunk Monkey

Thanks for the laugh!

[FailureToCommunicate]

100. These are great! Gotta see about getting a Trunk Monkey upgrade package new time.

[Demsrule86]

2. +100000

Glad your Mom is safe.

[vercetti2021]

13. Me too

I told her I'm glad I wasn't in the car. Because you do not fuck with my mother unless you wanna end up in the ICU

[The_REAL_Ecumenist]

34. My mom's gone, God rest her soul but at least you're giving that THANG a chance to survive...

fuck with MY MOM, AUNT, GRAMMY, GRANDPA, UNCLE, BROTHER, THE HUBZ OR MY FURKID & they'd end up looking "CASKET SHARP" cuz I...DO...NOT...PLAY...THAT...SHIT!

[vercetti2021]

43. Or a plot of dirt

I have a friend that owns land 50 miles out. I know where to hide em lmao

[diverdownjt]

89. That's why I left Florida...

My back yard was full.....

[The_REAL_Ecumenist]

94. I own about 25 acres in northwestern Bumphuqqistan, Tehama county Ca...

Don't get me started with Humboldt County Ca. Yes, had they done that, you'd be reading about it... TRUST me. Give your mom an extra kiss & a good, SWEET & love filled hug from a motherless daughter who REALLY appreciates BOSS MAMAS like her...
Blessings, Vercetti2021

[Skittles]

3. your mum has guts

MY KIND OF GAL; yes indeed

[vercetti2021]

9. Haha

A tough woman? Yes that would be a deal sealer for any single man

[Skittles]

12. real men admire tough gals

truth!

[vercetti2021]

14. Yes!!! So much yes!!!

And she raised a tough son soon to be daughter

[Skittles]

33. wishing you the best!

always stay tough, tough gals rock!

[vercetti2021]

42. Yes we do

Take no shit at all

[dmr]

4. Tell her to be careful with blowback on that pepper spray.

That would not be good, or safe.

You guys are braver than me!

[2naSalit]

5. ++++++++++++++++!!!

She could get peppered herself and that would be real bad.

[vercetti2021]

10. Good point

I'll be sure to tell her to watch blowback from the spray

[MontanaMama]

23. Maybe she could dial 911 on her phone

and show it to them before she hits send? I had a run in with a MAGAt at Costco and did exactly that. The woman, who I called Karen, took two steps toward me...I hit the 911 button and showed her the screen and told her if she took another step I would hit send. She backed off. You and your mom stay safe. These people are scary.

[vercetti2021]

35. I wish she did

But the sun was in her face and she wasnt taking a chance

[Fla Dem]

97. Yes, this is what she should have done and driven right up to a police station.

This is scary shit. As he was behind her, she probably couldn't get his license plate. But would make a report anyway about being threatened.

[chillfactor]

6. So glad you both are safe

after your encounters with tRUMP idiots.

[vercetti2021]

11. Yeah me too

Be sure if gods got sandals. Gotta show absolutely no fear when it comes to these people. Double down and move forward

[bobbieinok]

7. I'd be worried about guys pulling out guns. They've gone super crazy!!

[vercetti2021]

8. Well they'll meet it with the same thing

My mom isn't a gun person. I on the other hand do own two guns. So they'd meet the same fate. I love recreational shooting. Clay pigeons mostly

[TxVietVet]

21. tRumpanzees assume they are the only ones armed.

I told one redneck tRumpanzee he was sadly mistaken. I told him millions of real Americans don’t believe the same as he does, many are armed and military trained marksmen. Many conservanazis think they are almighty. I’d like to see the look on their face when someone fires back at them. The “real” tough badasses I’ve met claim to be SpecialForcesSeals Snipers. Most of them are civvies who never would join up.

[vercetti2021]

38. Exactly!

I'm not military trained. But I've been shooting since I was 11 and I know my shit. I put it on all my signs too. Smile you're on camera. P.S we own guns. It'll make em think twice

[Pepsidog]

16. We have to understand Trumpers are all over the place.

[vercetti2021]

37. Especially in Amarillo

They are everywhere here including my neighbors

[live love laugh]

17. Bear spray. nt

[vercetti2021]

36. Illegal

Can't obtain it. Pepper spray should be good enough

[Celerity]

68. and weak, pepper spray is stronger nt

[live love laugh]

72. Really?!

Im surprised at both responses as bear spray was recommended to me when I didn’t want to buy a gun.

I guess I’ll buy pepper spray then.

[Celerity]

74. yes, see this

https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=14009531


It is why you saw those RW nazi pick-up truck MAGAt goons in Portland shooting off huge clouds of bear spray but it not having nearly as much effect on the protesters as it would have if it was regular pepper spray. It is 5 to 10 times weaker.

My wife and I have CS (actual tear gas) pens that we carry in our bags. Never had to use it, but if we did, whoever gets it is going down hard. It makes pepper spray seem like a fart in the wind, lolol.

[Celerity]

67. pepper spray is stronger than bear spray, it has a higher concentration of oleoresin capsicum

https://www.selfdefenseninja.com/bear-spray-vs-pepper-spray-whats-difference/

[AnotherMother4Peace]

18. Bunker Boy has activated his cult. God bless your mom. There are a

couple of family members on my husband's side who are quite scary in their rhetoric. They are out of state, thank heavens. One in particular would probably do me/us harm just because we're Democrats. He's especially scary when he starts tweeking/drinking.

[vercetti2021]

39. Tweeking?

Tweaking you mean? Like they do meth or something?

[AnotherMother4Peace]

53. Yeah - he's a mess. Word is he's relapsed. Sad thing is he's a victim of Bunker

Boy & his cronies' policies. He doesn't realize that Trump hates him, his kind, & wouldn't let him near him. This relative is a true rabid believer. He used to say he wasn't a back stabber, but a "front stabber" mimicking one of Trump's cronies.

Tweeking or tweaking - ether way it's not good.

[vercetti2021]

59. Well that's his own fault

Wouldnt surprise me if most drug addicts are Trump supporters

[AnotherMother4Peace]

71. A trump fanatic under the influence is particularly dangerous. We all need to take care. nt

[vercetti2021]

76. Yes we do

And we will

[Freedomofspeech]

19. Thank goodness she is okay...

these disgusting trumphumpers believe no one else is allowed to express their opinion. I despise them.

[Locrian]

20. their entire (tiny) identity

their entire (tiny) identity is now fully integrated with trump, just like a cult.
for 4 years they got to "own the libtards" and they have *nothing* else

this is how cults evolve into terrorist organizations - when they lose that "high" and have nothing else except their hate and bitterness.

[TxVietVet]

22. The tRump💩 Party has NO platform.

If that kochsuckrr gets back in, serious problems may arise.

[luvtheGWN]

65. From what I've read, here and other places,

serious problems have already arisen.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

91. If Joe and Kamala win they'll need to fight back the crazed humpers.

If god forbid the orange shit pile takes it, we’ll have a quick irretrievable slide to finish the task of making the US a fascist nation.

[vercetti2021]

40. Yeehawdists

That's them now.

[Different Drummer]

110. That's a good way of putting it. N/T

[warmfeet]

24. I am looking forward to my first encounter with one of these assholes.

Woe be unto them.

[vercetti2021]

41. Be careful

Some are just as nutty as this guy was

[warmfeet]

58. I am a bit nutty as well.

Far left, liberal nutty. I will be careful though.

[vercetti2021]

60. Me too!

Tehe

[Ponietz]

25. Cheers from Groom

[vercetti2021]

44. Omg you're close

Come visit us!

[Ponietz]

63. Thank you--

I was born there and spent my early years in Panhandle. I live near Santa Fe, now, where more like-minded people reside, and it’d be better if ya’ll visit us!

[vercetti2021]

77. Yes lol

Last time I was in Santa Fe was 2016. Love old town

[hkp11]

26. please be careful out there in red TX

You never know if this drumpf supporter tries looking around for your mon's car with those magnets...they look for trouble like that 17 yr old killer went from one state to Kenosha, WI to shot himself some liberals. They are seriously bat shit crazy right-wing nuts - all that they hear from Faux, RW radio, and Drumpf is to hammer them with fear & terror that they arm themselves, start fights, shout and show anger at liberals or anyone who does not look like them. They believe the country belongs to them only.

[vercetti2021]

46. Well if they did

They'd have to come onto our property which I would have every right to exercise my rights to defend my home and property. You know funny when we do it they'll scream murderer! Like nope. Kyle set the precedent we can defend ourselves from radical right wingers

[UCmeNdc]

27. Trumpism is in the air! Trump's followers will follow him no matter what he does!

They worship Trump.

All we can do is be sure to vote him out of office.

[vercetti2021]

45. We will

We are the majority

[Ferrets are Cool]

28. Good idea with the pepper spray.

[vercetti2021]

48. Yes

She had a stun gun but it stopped working.

[TomSlick]

29. If you are being followed by a MAGAt (or other dangerous person),

drive to the nearest police station. On the way, call 911 and tell the police you are coming.

[vercetti2021]

49. Good idea

But not sure she would do that. The cops would more than likely take his side

[TomSlick]

55. Mr. Rogers was right.

Always look for the helpers. No police officer - no matter how racist or otherwise vile - is going to let someone be attacked in their parking lot.

[vercetti2021]

57. Good idea actually

If some guy is gonna attack a woman. People will not allow it

[mnmoderatedem]

30. typical

the undeniable truth is that republicans, particularly trumpists do things like that and democrats do not.

[vercetti2021]

51. True

Then it surprises them when Democrats fight back like you cant so that!

[BigmanPigman]

31. Tell her not to drive to her home if that happens again.

The nut could follow her and knows where she lives. Have her drive to the 7/11 or some place that is open late and lock all doors, keep windows up and lean on the horn non-stop. This happened to me years ago and it worked...I gave the finger to a dude in a truck who ran a red light and almost killed me so he got his little macho feelings hurt and followed me until I stopped and he got out of his truck and came towards my car.

Since I have had anti-tRump stickers all over my car I have been ready for 3+ years for a confrontation but since I live in a blue area I usually get compliments and "thumbs-up" signs from other drivers.

[vercetti2021]

52. Fair point

But we do have Biden signs out and already could be a target anyways. Reason I keep my revolver by the front door. No chances

[Ohioboy]

47. Trumpers are very empowered right now

Be careful. Also, try to video so you have proof of any wrongdoing.

[vercetti2021]

54. I asked her if she could have recorded him

But the sun was beating down on her so she couldn't see her phone screen anyways plus she was at a busy stop light

[Hulk]

50. Be careful.... and God bless you!

I had a personal experience myself with an old friend who turned rabid right winger. I guess he always has been but I didn't recognize it.

Be careful out there. You don't want to get hurt. These people are insane and full of hate and rage.... and they are about to take a huge loss. They aren't going to deal well with it well.

This is what has happened to our country. We have come to a crossroad and we have to make a decision. We are either going to hide and let them have their way.... Or we show up at the voting booth and change the direction of the country. But we are going to have to deal with all the burnt rubber and frustrating anger that exists with the change.

Don't put yourself in danger's way. These people are sick, frustrated and angry. They are not to be confronted.... unless you pack iron... and you really don't want to go there.

[vercetti2021]

56. I have iron

I don't carry it outside of my house though. I'm not afraid of these people. I can hold my own if it came down to it.

[Hulk]

69. Just be damn careful...

.... Because they aren't worth it.

[vercetti2021]

78. Only in defense

Which apparently to them is free kill anyone with a skateboard. But I'm smarter than that. I've taken classes and have been shooting since I was 11. I'm responsible

[Joinfortmill]

61. Scary

[vercetti2021]

62. Very

They've lost it so hard

[rockfordfile]

64. call the cops on him

[SheltieLover]

66. Glad she lost him!

As with people in other cults, I believe they see chumputin as an extension of themselves.

Plus, big brain differences in conservatives, per this objective medical research:

"Substantial differences exist in the cognitive styles of liberals and conservatives on psychological measures [1]. ... We found that greater liberalism was associated with increased gray matter volume in the anterior cingulate cortex, whereas greater conservatism was associated with increased volume of the right amygdala."

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3092984/#:~:text=Substantial%20differences%20exist%20in%20the,on%20psychological%20measures%20%5B1%5D.&text=We%20found%20that%20greater%20liberalism,volume%20of%20the%20right%20amygdala.

Please urge her to be careful! Magats are insane.

[electric_blue68]

81. Ooooo interesting...

Fear is associated the amygdala.

Racist replublicans, conservatives, those who RW Christians are so afraid of BlPOC, other religions, probably secularists, liberals of course, the LGBTQI community, possibly environmentalists.

That's a lot of people to be afraid of! No wonder their amygdala works overtime.

[Snackshack]

70. Just a word of caution.

At this point in time I would consider removing the magnets for now. Right now it is just yelling and screaming...and this person actually felt the need to leave his vehicle at a stop light to do that yelling and screaming up close and personal. DT supporters see everyone who does not support DT as the enemy not an American with a different opinion. The hate being propagated by DT / GOP and right wing radio is unbelievable right now and only going to be ramped up as we get closer to Nov 3rd and I fear that the yelling and screaming is going to turn to violence as we saw this past weekend. I would view this as a warning... The people your mom knows and loves know who she is and what she stands for there is no need to invite something much worse. These people really are unhinged rt now and as DT continues to get hammered for his incompetence and idiocy as the death toll reaches 200,000 his supporters are going to lash out even more.

[DENVERPOPS]

83. I could not agree more Snack

We haven't seen anything yet.......I seriously dread Nov 3rd and 4th.

They will feel much more power and emboldened if our corrupted voting system allows Trump to take office, and if Biden, by some absolute miracle wins, it's KATIE BAR THE DOOR.

With the most recent events, I am seriously wondering if we will even make it to the election before things go to hell......

BTW: Anyone else noticing the complete absence of political yard signs and political bumper stickers this election??????????

A friend says he's getting a Trump yard sign, and if Trump, by means of corrupt actions gets installed, he is putting up the yard sign in front of his house. That way he doesn't have to worry about Trumphumpers coming after his property or family.....

[Catherine Vincent]

73. Hopefully she rolled the window once he started screaming

And proceed to grab her phone and take his picture or call 911.

[scuciti]

75. We have too help eachother

God, I wish I was there when this sort of thing happens. I'd bounce his shaved head on her car hood.

[summer_in_TX]

79. Toxic-levels of anger are all too common on the right.

That's because of the poison they absorb while listening to the likes of Rush, Tucker Carlson, and Hannity.

They may have started out as normal human beings, but when they fell down the well into Foxlandia they were turned into rageaholics.

A good look at the process – with a hopeful ending, is the documentary "The Brainwashing of My Dad." I streamed it from their website. Production values aren't great, but I learned a lot. Definitely worth watching.

[electric_blue68]

80. Glad your mom & you are safe! Be careful!

[Cha]

82. lol.. you're too much, vercetti..Yes I enjoyed reading it bc

Your Mom got Away!

Tell her "Brava!" from a DU member Good writing!

[vercetti2021]

84. She's a lurker here actually!

She watches the videos mainly.

But I must say we have a time with people here due to being dems. I feel like I should post all my encounters. But you know lol I'd be sharing a story a day. These two are just completely random events

[Cha]

86. Oh Good.. she can read your thread & see how

strong we think she is.

Props to both of you for dealing so strong and bravely in a red part of Texas. I know it's not all like that.. TG!

[vercetti2021]

87. I did tell her lol

She's like. Of course I'm tough. I take no shit from those walkers.

My mom is a like pure southern gal and takes no guff.

I'm soon to be a tough southern gal myself. But I did see a Biden sign down the street from me. So there is hope!

[Buckeye_Democrat]

85. They're delusional from hatred.

There's people who actually follow angry idiots like Alex Jones out there.

When I first heard Rush Limbaugh around here in the 80's, as his show played on a coworker's portable radio, it was clear that the most anger-prone and stupid coworkers were the ones getting off on it.

[vercetti2021]

88. Low intelligence needs a voice

They speak for them because they can't think on their own. They act like good little drones and follow orders from whomever is the nearest propaganda piece

[struggle4progress]

92. I had a maskless somebody flip out on me at a stop light about a month ago. Just started screaming .

Then he got out of his car and started walking towards mine.

I rolled my windows up and adopted my best "This bores me out of my fucking mind" facial expression, showing no interest whatsoever in whatever he might be screaming about

Having a tantrum?

[gay texan]

95. This is why I'm not putting anything on my vehicle

West Texas is just like the panhandle. I'm not in the mood for a conflict.

[panader0]

98. Where in the panhandle? My sweetheart Jeannie is from Amarillo

and her relatives live in Fritch and Borger. They are trumpers, but Jeannie left at a young age
for Houston so she escaped the weirdness.
PS--hurrah for mom!

[vercetti2021]

99. Amarillo

You got it

[kooth]

109. The Panhandle

I lived for a time in Borger (1968 - 1970) when I was 14, or 15. I loved the small town vibe and the canyons, etc. It's too bad it's so red there! I have a cousin who lives in Phillips, TX.

[DBoon]

101. Amarillo?

Like where this billboard was posted?

?1529448589837

[vercetti2021]

103. Yep

That same town. Though we did post a billboard in retaliation to that one

[DBoon]

108. I noted that. Good for you.

[mjvpi]

102. I keep flashing on what the day is after Biden wins is going to look like.

The maskholes are looking to actually fight.

[vercetti2021]

104. We celebrate and laugh at them like they did to us

Those pussies won't do a thing

[lagomorph777]

105. I'm fantasizing about the pepper spray.

That would have been delicious!

[vercetti2021]

106. Oh totally

Like risk getting sprayed on a busy two way street. Like nice job brainiac

[GaYellowDawg]

107. I hope you don't mind me suggesting this.

No doubt the idea of that guy getting a face full of pepper spray is awesome, but I think it might be a better idea for her to grab her phone and video him. She could get law enforcement involved that way.

[Doreen]

111. Bless your mother. I am glad the piece of puke did not hurt her.

If I was with my mother and someone did that to her I would attack them like a rabid animal and damned be my consequences.

[vercetti2021]

112. Likewise

I told her I would have thrown down in the middle of the road.
