You know you're f'ing up when you lose the Paul Blart vote....

[haele]

Had to take the trolley to work for the first time since the election, and was lucky to get a seat as the car was full of commuters.
A couple of construction workers across from me were reading the paper and talking loudly about how much Trump is screwing up with his tweets and his idiot nominees, and his kids having to hold his hand all the time to tell him what to do.
I opined that it must have been the TV celebrity that got people to vote for him, because a guy with all those bankruptcies is obviously not a good businessman. Because even though this is basically a blue city, there are a lot of wingnuts around, even on public transportation, and it's not wise to be loud and opinionated when one is a nearly elderly female that uses a cane.

Then a couple of seats away Paul Blart's double, leaning against a standing rider's support in his security guard uniform and his loaded security utility belt, yells out so the whole car can hear him - "The next four years we are going to hell as a country! Trump is making us look bad - they must have cheated to make him president!"
Then he looks at the construction guys and kinda mumbles..."They lied to us, they just wanted to make more money."

Another rider started talking about 2000 and ballots being found in dumpsters in Florida, while another chimed in about Crosscheck and voter roll purges this year.
By the time I got to my station 20 minutes latter, pretty near everyone had said something about the GOP being a bunch of "clueless bullies" and "greedy rich assholes",or how glad they were to be in California, even though there were worries about Federal Government threatening the state because we didn't vote for Trump.
"And that's not American..." the Blart clone yelled
It ended up being quite the ride - unusual, because over the past 4 years I've taken the trolley to work off and on, the only time riders have ever tried to interact with each other was during Comicon or when a mentally disturbed person started making trouble.

The feeling in this country is changing. I'd be very worried

1. Good to hear, but Fuckface Von Pussygrabbers brain, bannon, knows this is happening

and that is why we are hearing reports that bannon is urging fuckface to talk smack about protesters hoping they will get violent so he can send in troops.

Bannon also plans on an attack here by a terrorist even if he has to plan it himself, so he can justify war and martial law.

Also the judge positions being filled by sycophant fascists will guarantee the courts will be useless to patriots, i.e. liberals.

5. sadly, I believe your analysis is quite correct.

2. If you are ever given an opportunity like this, may I suggest you talk about how important

it will be to vote in the midterms to at least put a check on this lunatic.

3. I did, I mentioned how it is the local government that determines elections.

And it's important to vote for the local people who will be running things like voting and community access to services and education.
This after people started talking about votes in dumpsters, and voters not being able to vote.
