Mexican-American Trump Supporter Attacked in California Post Office for Wearing MAGA Hat

A Hispanic Trump supporter was attacked and called a racist at a post office in Chula Vista, Calif., by a fellow customer who was triggered by her “Make America Great Again” hat.

Paloma Zuniga said she was dropping off some packages at the USPS office on Saturday when "this mad woman cursed at me and told me I should be ashamed for wearing that hat" as she walked by.

Zuniga, who is a dual U.S. and Mexican citizen, told PJ Media by email that she then turned on her cellphone and started recording because "we go through this abuse often and I wanted others to see how violent they are while we just mind our own business."

Zuniga said many Hispanics support the president because they believe in the American Dream.

So many hispanics in America love President @realDonaldTrump because we came here looking for the REAL American dream!! Thank you for giving us a voice and representing us as well. We support you Mr. President and your courage to fight for our future. — Paloma For Trump (@PALOMAFORTRUMP) April 9, 2019

The Trumpophobe, a woman with short-cropped hair and black shorts, reacted very aggressively.

"Don't touch me and don't record me!" she spat. Turning toward the postal worker at the counter, she demanded, "Can you tell her not to record me? That's against the law." She then lunged toward Zuniga and appeared to swipe at her cellphone.

"Don't touch me! Don't touch me," Zuniga cried during the assault.

"I have a right not to be recorded!" the woman exclaimed.

"I have a right not to be harassed! You have no reason to harass me just because of my hat!" cried Zuniga.

The belligerent woman demanded that the clerk call his supervisor.

"It doesn't matter! You have no reason to harass me just because I'm wearing a Trump hat!" Zuniga repeated. "What is wrong with you?!"

"I didn't harass her," the woman told the clerk.

"Yes, you did!" Zuniga exclaimed.

"I saw it," the clerk said.

"Where is the supervisor?!" the woman bellowed.

"Stop it right now or I'm going to call the cops!" the clerk shouted.

"Exactly!" Zuniga cried. "Do not harass me because of my hat. I don't care if you don't agree with it -- I have the right to wear it!" she added.

"Okay, racist!" the woman, who is white, retorted.

As the woman finished her transaction she mocked Zuniga and started recording her with her own cellphone.

"Yeah, take my picture and make sure you share it everywhere because I support the president of America and if you don't agree with that you should move somewhere else!"

The woman moved in close to get a good look at Zuniga's package, "Let me get your address," she muttered. "Got it!"

Zuniga told PJ Media, "She got my mailing P.O. box address possibly! I am changing it."

Last week, an unhinged woman who attacked a Trump supporter at a Starbucks in California, also wanted to learn the man's address for future harassment purposes.

"If you don't like America, you should move out of America!" Zuniga repeated. "Go to Mexico! Go to Central America if you don't like being here -- if you don't like the president! And don't you ever lay a hand on me, you psycho!"

"Nobody touched you," the woman said.

Zuniga posted her cellphone video of what transpired on her “Paloma For Trump” Facebook page on Saturday.

Everything East of the Mississippi goes to the lunatic liberals (including all the wetbacks), everything West of the Mississippi the Conservatives get to keep.
Think about it; the western states have most of the minerals, most of the hydro power, most of the usable timber, and most of the arable land.
Or you could just draw a line from Port Arthur on the gulf coast to Sioux Falls South Dakota to Winnipeg Canada.
That way they can keep all the nut cases in Iowa and Minnesota.
All you good conservatives in the Southern States that I have cut off behind enemy lines; we will help you move free of charge, ain’t fair to make you pay for something beyond your control.

"I think its the best thing..both sides have their own Govt, their own President, their own Supreme Court, Congress, Senate, everything."

I agree. This is the only peaceful solution, as we have irreconcilable differences. But we would need to build another wall between the 2 sides for when the left inevitably destroys its side and people are trying to escape the misery, poverty and starvation the left will inflict on them.

It’s really simple, if you think about it:

Until 1849, when GOLD was discovered at Sutter’s Mill, California was just another geographic place in North America, with lots of timber and open lands suitable for farming and not much else, save for some old Spanish colonial settlements, Catholic outposts to serve the native populations and the few Europeans that lived there.

Then with the lure of quick riches from the newly discovered gold fields, every possible able-bodied man, woman and child trekked the thousands of miles across the continent in wagon trains, on horseback or on foot, or boarded ships to sail around South America to the fledgling San Francisco port. Along with these intrepid entrepreneurs and pioneers, came con-men, claim-jumpers, camp-followers (nowadays known and ‘sex-workers’), and every other kind of disreputable version of human debris. They came by the thousands as well, if not more than the honest, hardworking family types.

Then California became a state, and the population was left to simmer for a few years while the rest of the nation, preoccupied with the great political question of the day: slavery, became embroiled in the conflagrations of the Civil War. After the war, former slaves, soldiers of fortune (from both North and South) tired of the ravages of war, and ruined southern businessmen and politicos began the long trek to California to ‘start a new life’.

Again, the population of California was left to stew and cook for another couple of decades, while adding spices and herbs from the Great Immigration from Europe and Asia. Railroads and robber barons began the arduous task of connecting the two coasts by rail and roads, telephone and telegraph. People began to flood the new state from all over the world, China, Ireland, eastern Europe, Mexico and South America. The wild humans, known as ‘Indians’ were eventually subdued and forced to live on reservations so that the rest of the population could expand and prosper.

Then, some guy named Thomas Edison invented a thing called ‘moving pictures.’

A curiosity at first, then a serious business opportunity, with great weather and landscapes, Southern California became the Mecca for making these ‘movies’ as they came to be called. Every star-struck, would-be, could-be, wanna-be actor from all across the nation and the world flocked to California to get their chance at stardom on the silver screen. Few would actually achieve their goal, but it did not deter those who did not. They still are coming and trying to this day.

During this Golden Era of Hollywood, along came The Dust Bowl and The Great Depression to further entice people from all walks of life and locations to make their way to California to find jobs and, once again, to start a new life. This continued up until the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, thrusting the nation into a World War, for the second time in a generation.

Industries geared up for the war-time economy and the industries of California were no different, aircraft being essential to the war effort. JOBS were plentiful and workers were scarce as every able bodied man was drafted or volunteered to fight for their country. So WOMEN filled the offices and factories to build the weapons and machines for the war. Rosie the Riveter became the icon of the day, and millions of women became machinists, and aircraft pilots and every other job that had been the near exclusive domain of men.

After the war, the men came home and the women did as well. The new ‘superpower’ of the USA became the cultural and economic leader of the world. American goods, entertainment and educational institutions became the standard that everyone in the world aspired to. California leading the way, with television, music, movies and industry. People moved to California by the millions, to attain their version of the ‘American Dream.’

Then in the 1960’s the world changed once again. The Vietnam War dominated the TV news. Cultural and societal norms were tossed out and new ones were created. Anti-War protests dominated every college and university campus. Hippies were everywhere. Communes were the order of the day. Young people, jaded by decades of prosperity and economic dominance, flocked to these places in mountains, deserts and rural California. Many became drug addicts, because of the new order. Sex-Drugs-and Rock-and-Roll was their rallying cry. ‘Free Love’ was the lure the trapped many. A generation of American Youth was lost to the drug and sex culture.

The people of California you see today are the descendants of all those who came before them. From the Gold Rush to the Drug Rush, their genes and chromosomes have spread all throughout the society.

Now you know............................

I’ve never been good at visualizing redistricting.

In college I graciously shook hands with the young John Conyers who presented various Michigan redistricting plans to our political science class. (Yes “young” it was about 1966 or so). He showed a perfectly fair and honest map and flipped the easel maps to one his Dem Party was going to implement. Got a big laugh but it did get enacted his way.

People good at this like you and Sarah Barracuda should get together and devise a board game with various scenarios and geographical areas for the players to work with.

The game could serve as a think tank for people of all ages to work this out, as well as dream of getting liberals away from us as a wish fulfillment strategy to relax.
