There are a great many contributing factors, but a large percentage of our population is basically mentally ill at this point. Their thinking is all twisted up and you can’t talk to them. And shouldn’t talk to them.

A liberal friend truly believes at least 30% of republicans are Qanon supporters who buy into the Clintons drink childrens blood.

Sometimes it can help if you just shout “STOP TOUCHING ME THERE”

It’s like a form of mass psychosis.

The problem is that they’re the ones who won’t let it go. The left…which appears to be most of the population now…simply never takes a break from their obsession.

I don’t know how the man in the dry cleaners knew that the author was a Republican. Perhaps she’s locally well known or something. But in any case, I have seen exactly the same thing happen, an attack by a stranger on someone suspected of not following the narrative.

The other thing that is common is that the leftists just assume that everyone thinks the way they do - especially if you’re in certain fields - and keeps up a steady stream of raving about political matters.

And they do this anywhere. I like to hike, for example, but I simply don’t go on group hikes because they can’t shut up about their politics…even though it’s bad form to talk much while you’re walking. They don’t care. They’re obsessed, which I attribute mostly to the 24-7 left wing howling of the media.

Was walking downtown Buffalo, NY, 2018 minding my own business with baggage in tow when an elderly man of a certain ethnicity pedaled over to me on his bike, stopped and said to my face, “Trump is a racist,” and then pedaled off into his fantasy world. I was wearing no Trump gear, let alone anything with a partisan message on my person other than white skin and clean clothes, both of which must be racist these days. Shrugged it off, but kind of wished later that I would have had the time and inclination to buy him a beer. Oh well.

The man sounds like a self-hating Jew type, by way of Russia. The split of the Soviet Union opened the floodgates of Bolsheviks to America. Many went to Israel (for a brief time) as a stepping stone before coming to the USA and Canada. If I were King, I would send all the American Bolsheviks to Russia!

I went to the American Thinker website. It’s a short article but worth reading the whole thing.

I would have merely said.. “FO you Moron...” and continued my stroll. Buy him a beer?? Really??

IIRC she’s in or ran for a seat at the state legislature in PA. I think this took place in Philadelphia, so I am not disbelieving of the story at this point.

She should have blamed him for Bernie Sanders not being the nominee in 2016, 2020 and 2024, and then kicked him in the trans area.

When I'm out and about, and some fool gives me grief about my Trump hat or shirt or whatever, my reply is always the same and in a very calm voice.

I say, "Some people call this a fanny pack, I call it a holster".

End of discussion.

I don’t have to go out to get scolded, lectured, and threatened. They bring it to my house. Fresh every day. Also there’s the internet in case I haven’t gotten a complete daily dose of hate.

Also, dry cleaning is a hoax. Any type of fabric can be washed. Stop wasting your money, nice lady.
