i was at the cashier at a local hardware store today. the cashier was female and late 50s to mid 60s. i was buying some tools and some junk food including twinkies.
to make a joke, i said i was dan white and i need the twinkies to provide my excuse.
after a few moments the cashier recognized "dan white" and presumably the connection to twinkies and laughed. she said dan white, he is really scary.
i would have left it at that but she went on to say "just like trump."
i took the bait. i said why. she said "trump is scary because he is too paranoid."
i said "hillary is even more scary. would you vote for her even after benghazi?" i chose benghazi because cashiers are typically unaware of security restrictions, violations, consequences, and penalties.
the cashier paused a moment. i was not sure she recognized the signicance of benghazi so i added "4 guys died in benghazi. 4 guys died because of hillary."
the cashier still did not have much to say in response though she was still pleasant. i got the feeling that "because trump was too paranoid" is as far as she has ever had to go to defend her point of view with her social peer group. mentally i decoded "paranoid" into "racist." so i guessed that she meant that trump was racist or too racist or something like that.
i said you know calais? where the refugees are camped on the french coast trying to get to england? she said yes. i said, those people want to get to england, but it is a mainstream media lie that they are refugees from syria. they are mostly from places like afghanistan and somalia. somalia guys are for neighbors-- not good right? she said yes, not good. do you want to have your neighborhood overrun by such people? no she did not, she said.
i waited a short moment for her to disown her previous comments but she did not say anything more.
i had already caused a delay in the line so i gave up at this point in time.
so, to the cashier, and apparently her peer group, apparently being responsible for killing US soldiers for no reason or for bad reasons is ok, but being like trump (no murders that we know of so far) in the sense that he is allegedly racist is not ok.
it is ok if we are overrun by somalis as a result of our naiive faith in the benevolence of human nature, but it is not ok if we talk about limiting immigration of such somali migrants.
there is some fundamental logic problem, or at least i would think. trump my be able to get around this. but imho he has to try harder.
i had been hoping for better results but did not get anything. anyone want to suggest a better line?
is hillary really responsible for the deaths of the 4 benghazi heros as i had presumed? is there a better example to pick on for an elevator speech?
She actually scares me at times.
Very smart, very well read, fearless with a vocabulary that would stand toe to toe with the best of them.
Her “Objectiveness” has been on display since she was 8. Brutally objective with the ability to know when and how to manage the retarded people around her.
Imagine a teen-aged Ann Coulter but able to keep from getting completely ostracized for expressing her views.
She has an objective moral compass that will not be denied.
She knows that the more she gets involved with politics and our culture, the more cynical she is becoming.
She is finishing up her graduate degree on “Terrorism, Counter terrorism and public policy”
While I’ve been encouraging her to either join the military or get a job at the CIA, she just wants to buy a farm and a boat load of guns.
She sounds wonderful and smart.She needs to enter into communications either with Go-Pro or you tube and debate on line .Free.
Shift key helps you look literate.
Thanks, and she is.
But and thankfully, self promotion is not her style.
No Selfies, Facebook, LinkedIn or the rest.
She has never even taken a sip of alcohol, never done any drugs but she can cuss like a Sailor.
My girl.
If is for damn sure that mere facts WILL NOT sway a LIEberal!
Well, since I quit watching ALL TV news programs the moment I found out that Ophonybama got re-elected, my life has been sooooooo much better!
I also cancelled the Jacksonville Times Union a few months ago when they doubled the subscription rate to $40.00 a month. It was barely worth $20!
So, whatever the LIEberal press says about Donald Trump is lost to me, save what I gleam FRom my sources (see below).
I am an internet junkie — virtually all my information comes FRom the internet (FReeRepublic, Drudge and my extensive email correspondents) and talk radio.
Now to my point: what are the indicators you see which indicate the “racist” label is sticking to Trump?
Hillary is, of course, the racist, as we all know! LIEberals, the Dems and the LameStream Media are really, really good at projection!
Since Republicans are no good on offense or defense, the LIEberal message NEVER gets refuted on a coherent and consistent basis.
What to do? Change the Republican diaper!
u mean my capz key?
just call me “e e”
lol
(and things COULD be WORSE, as in H*Y*M*A*N K*A*P*L*A*N worse!)
lol
ok whatever
yes, an excellent strategy.
i too have observed one hillary for prison shirt (this in san jose, before trump rally). i asked the guy if he got any flak and he responded none.
so there is the conundrum.
trump could win easily if he would just watch his motor mouth but he does not. hillary should lose but the MSM keeps propping her up.
maybe this election will be won, for a change, by the positives over the negatives. who knows.
aha. thanks. maybe that explains why i did not win mr. popularity in high school, lol.
“is hillary really responsible for the deaths of the 4 benghazi heros as i had presumed?”
The ambassador was not a “hero” but was operating a gun running ring to arm ISIS.
Here is an example. This past Saturday night I was walking my dog. It was a beautiful evening. I noticed that a couple one city block away was acting strangely. When I caught up to them I asked them if I could help them. The lady, pleasant enough, said she noticed the front door of the Victorian was wide open and that seemed very strange. I agreed. She then asked me what to do. I asked if she had rang the doorbell. She said, “What a good idea.” She then rang the doorbell and the owners came out and we had a nice conversation.
How did I know she was a liberal/progressive? As we parted she complained about crime and guns.
Hillary wants to import 5 million people from countries where they hate gays and throw them off roofs.
And where women have to get permission from a man to learn to read.
That always works for me.
walking by an open door does pose a minor dilemna. if you watch the lifetime channel or slasher movies, or read legal briefs, the most innocuous thing can result in serious dangers, though yeah ringing the doorbell seems the commonsense thing to try first.
one thing i have problems with is facebook. some of my old female school friends pop up from time to time. nothing wrong with them, but some of them are rabidly pro-hillary. i have done nothing yet. if i tell them i am not pro-hillary, they are gone forever. probably some of them know since i have been fairly good at avoiding politics on facebook. but gee whiz. i have to take endless pro-sanders and anti-trump screeds in stride. yecch! facebook torture!
lol
i did not refer to the ambassador in talking to the cashier.
i only mentioned the 4 guys that died. from the context, i expect it to be obvious that i was referring to the four guys that tried to save the ambassador, not the ambassador himself.
Living in Chicago I am familiar with my fellow dummycrats. I am an island of one and have more or less given up on Illinois. I think there is too much lead in the water. ; )
My profound sympathies to you for being stuck in chicago.
I wonder, why would they be supporting Hillary? What are the positive reasons? I'm afraid to say this, but I think a lot of it would be (a) "first woman President" plus (b) "women's health" issues (i.e. abortion, what killing a baby has to do with "health" is beyond me) and (c) vague memories, first- or second-hand, about the prosperity of the years her husband was in office (derivative accomplishments). That's it. It's pretty poor. But I think these are some of the major emotional "hooks" you need to identify. What do they think of Mr. Sanders? What do they think Mrs. Clinton has to offer them that he does not? I'd use that as a beginning point. The Sanders supporters might be more reachable.
we guys often cannot get away with stuff that you gals can.
one false slip of the tongue, and we guys get fired, or get a fist in our face, or a sexual harassment lawsuit...
ah for the ‘summer of love’ again...
:-( :-)
that takes something like genius as well as guts...
