Attacked at the local dry cleaner for my politics

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,

“A fanatic is one who can’t change his mind and won’t change the subject.”

Never heard that before but it perfectly describes a FORMER friend who’s a liberal. (We kicked him to the curb.) We could be discussing the weather and he’d start dissing Republicans for no reason. He and DH would ride bikes together. For no reason, he’d start an anti-GOP diatribe, ruining a nice day outdoors.

The reason? Once a Republican fired his father or grandfather. It still sticks in his craw and he canNOT let it go. As if a Democrat never fired a person ... ever.

The only thing harder than admitting you are wrong is admitting you have been fooled. This will cause a lot of mental illness. It has become increasingly clear to me that my liberal acquaintances are either fooled or evil.

I agree.

It’s one of the biggest unreported stories in America at the moment. It’s gotten so bad, I am sort of surprised when I am talking to someone who isn’t mentally ill in some way, especially if they are young.

I did something similar to a former coworker.
He would twist your words and actions and then spread rumors that someone said this or that and cause all sorts of problems.
After he’d done that to me, I waited until I was training a few new employees to bust his a$$.
He walks up, with that smirk and started to speak.
Before he could get the words out, I said loudly, “I warned you, ask to touch my junk again and I’m going to HR.
I was off of his list of “targets” and my trainees all thought he was a perv, which he is.

i dont believe this for one second...

Remember, half of the population is below average IQ.

A family memeber loves to rant about corporate greed but never wants to hear about how greedy he is at the personal level.

Me too. Too many on our side think they can just be nice and we’ll win them over.

If you aren’t legally armed, you need to be. And don’t forget about training, either. I don’t just mean trading with a weapon, you must train with your mind, as well.
Check out the USCCA, they’ve been around a number of years, with experts on legal issues, and not only firearms training, but hand-to-hand training that is simple to understand.
There are three levels of coverage they cover, with legal representation.
Also a really great magazine with a sizable section written for women.
Check ‘em out

I admit to some bitterness because the very first thing I took to the dry cleaners in my adult life (so, in the days of horse-drawn carriages) was ruined. It was a minidress with leather and rivet trim. I found it at a thrift store. I thought “I should get this cleaned before I wear it” (because the label said “dry clean only) so I did and haha it had to go into the trash. But I’m sure all the people who make six figures or more are in support of your hypothesis so I’ll have to yield since I sure don’t want to p1$$ them off. :D

“Same thing with the shots. It’s weird. People letting everyone know how they got their boosters or shots.”

Psychologists have been studying this sort of thing for generations.

What is happening is that these folks have nagging doubts that they may have made a mistake and those “crazy conspiracy nuts” might be right about the dangers of the vaccines.

Vocalizing (bragging) about their shots is compensating—an attempt to drown out the little voice in their head that keeps whispering “Danger, Will Robinson. Danger.”

No mention of what set him off, such as a MAGA hot.

It’s a he said she said article. It’s on American Thinker + Kaslin.

Yes, the corrupt media can still influence these crazies.
