Damn it! Why are idiots drawn to me? Today, a woman wearing a Trump mask

walked up to me in BJ's and ask me how I liked her mask.

I didn't hold back as I told her she was an idiot for supporting Trump and even more of an idiot for continuing to wear that mask.

I’m leery of behavior like that. You never know if the person is spoiling for a fight or looking for an excuse to use their new gun.

Trump has been a huge saver of time and grief. In the past, it might take you quite some time to recognize a person is stupid and/or completely lacking in character. With Trump, his followers let you know right from the get go.

Wearing our masks, of course. This woman in the parking lot volunteered that she did not need a mask, as she stuffed toilet paper up her nose, and that should be enough.

Our tests were negative, btw.

I was walking through Home Depot back when IQ45 was at Walter Reed for the COVID, and some dude walked past me going the other direction proudly sporting a Trump mask.

I just blurted out 'Hope He Dies!' as we passed.

From behind me I heard "Hope YOU Die!?!"

Then I raised both hands backwards and flipped him off as I continued walking where I was going.

It was cathartic.
