Encounter with MAGA Fool

On the elevator a MAGA cretin saw my army Tee, ball cap, short hair and made a very wrong assumption. This MAGA fool said let’s impeach Biden over Afghanistan.

Pause…

I said actually Trump’s army of 5000 released Taliban prisoners are responsible.

Also Trump should be tried for Crimes Against Humanity for his COVID response.

MAGA sputtering ensued.

I laughed quite loudly.

Since I’m a middle aged (cough, cough) nice white lady, the MAGAts assume I’m one of them, too. Always fun to see their faces when they find out you’re not a member of their cult.

Amazing how erroneous their assumptions can be. Kinda like when they assume an old lady with Biden bumper stickers will be an easy verbal target. And they seem just sooooo amazed when they get something other than agreement, hehehehehehe...

Easy to remember for use in future encounters with the knuckle-dragger crowd.

“I said actually trump’s army of 5000 released Taliban prisoners are responsible.

Also trump should be tried for Crimes Against Humanity for his COVID response.”

Keeping these for my own use! REALLY good, quick and all-encompassing!

actually think they can create a MAGASTAN without real pushback from the Combat Arms trained vets on the left.

They are truly burracho.

I'm a big grumpy brown dude with a short buzz cut who tells people I'm born in the USA when they ask where I'm from, so MAGA types often assume I'm one of them.

Unfortunately a lot of immigrants assume the worst about me too, but I didn't choose where I was born.

And would never dream of wearing anything Army on my body.

But I’m a 5’11 white guy in the summer when I wear sandals, cargo shorts, and fishing tee-shirts. In cooler months I’m over 6 foot tall in my boots and dungarees!

I have a short hair cut, normally wear a cap and just just look like a republican. Down to the pick up I drive

It’s always in breweries when they start up I just turn to them and tell them I’m a Social Democrat. They shut up and leave.

Now this only happened a couple of times. Generally most people don’t talk politics to stir up trouble in breweries. They are not bars.

Just in case I get harassed with "Baa Baa" for wearing a mask, I have my response prepared:

"I find it laudable that you have become fluent in the language of your spouse, but I am not."
