Attacked at the local dry cleaner for my politics
American Thinker.com ^ | May 24, 2022 | Lynne Lechter

It was early morning; I was standing in line to drop off laundry before heading to work.

A man leaving the store stopped, looked at me, stared and said, “you are an intelligent woman.” I braced myself for what would follow -- and, follow it did.

He started mildly enough, but quickly escalated into a January 6 diatribe, and his belief of an absolute intent on that day of Republicans to overthrow the American Government through revolution, which would culminate in the murder of Vice President Pence.

Somewhat stunned, and instead of ignoring him which would have been the smart call, I gasped and said you don’t really believe that. Yes, he did and worse.

He started yelling, telling me I was a Jew, a Nazi Jew, all the time his voice was rising higher and higher, with fingers pointing at me calling me a Jew Nazi. The man, incredibly, was Jewish.

I calmly asked him to stop pointing at me and to leave. He refused. When that didn’t work, I whipped out my iPhone and told him I was calling the police. Then, he left.

The elderly woman behind the counter was very upset and very apologetic. Finally, my protestations convinced her that she had nothing to do with the man’s insane hatred.

Responsibility lies with our media’s incessant lies, the Democrats’ demented defamation and slander of President Trump and bestial denouncement of the Republican Party, the utter canceling of influencers who disagree with their odious party line, and the Democrat leadership’s illegal encouragement of anarchistic behavior towards any dissenters -- may they be Supreme Court Justices doing their jobs, as Pelosi has exhorted her henchman to do, as with Republican Congressional members out for dinner, a comedian who doesn’t hew the party line,

That’s when a punch in the mouth is warranted.

Reality only triggers them. They are past the point of self examination and determining truth.
Beyond political, this is religion.
These pod people actually enjoy their demon possession.

Same thing with the shots. It’s weird. People letting everyone know how they got their boosters or shots. It reminds me of the hoola hoop or pet rock craze.

Your screen name implies that you might ;)

I had an incident in the park last week. A man walking towards me asked if he could ask me a question and before I could answer proceeded to say something rather inappropriate. (But something I’ve read before on here so I knew what he meant). He was a coward to approach a woman alone whom he did not know.
I wasn’t alarmed but I also knew NOT to engage a man clearly this unstable. Women have to be on guard about that possibility.

If you work at an office that requires a certain presence and need to wear a suit then cleaning and pressing at least 5 combinations a day (seems to be what women are mental required to wear….men can wear the same suit each day) then a cleaners is a must especially for someone making 6 figures or more.

Some of you FReepers think I’m insane, but eventually this type of consistent behavior will convince you that most democrats and liberals are demonically possessed.

Maybe it’ll take an episode or two like this to convince you.

And the unhinged are only going to become worse.

We need to be prepared.

Of course you can avoid the dry cleaners that's very labor intensive if you need to dress up for work. I have spent decades wearing suits to work and the dry cleaners have saved me a lot of time (and time is money).

Just ironing one dress shirt properly is a chore.

When I retire, I will no longer care. I'll just throw it all in the washer and tumble dry. So what if my cargo shorts and Hawaiian shirts are a little wrinkled.

Also, I've never had anybody confront me on politics in a dry cleaners. I wonder how the incident here started. I guess I ought to go against Freeper protocol and read the article.

And this is why no matter the inflation, crime, and other problems, many will never stop voting Democrat.

Satan’s best tactic is the ability to convince people he isn’t real.

I believe that many people are demon possessed. When you reject faith something WILL take its place in your soul.

"The problem is that they’re the ones who won’t let it go. "

Exactly so. As Winston Churchill famously quipped, "A fanatic is one who can't change his mind and won't change the subject." A large number of our population have been brainwashed over years of agitprop. Today they are legion. Qui bono?

Agreed. The author should avoid the nut at all costs and get her husband (or sons) to have a “talk” with him!

I didn’t notice what provoked the attacker (assuming this story is true). Was the writer wearing a Trump hat or something, or did the attacker have ESP?

Here in TN I wear my Trump hat often and only get compliments. But ... Tennessee. I’m sure other states are much different.
