GOP campaign advertising needs to pay some attention to this. Normal people are (in many cases) afraid to reveal their political views. But in the voting booth you can be honest about your politics and really tell America how you feel.

are you sure we're still in the majority???

I understand the gas lighting the left does is at superior especially with social media being exalted to such a high level even though its mostly D list celebrities and leftist prog robots. Yet they get all the power to say who stays and who goes.
It seems as if we're a small, small group of people due to the gas lighting.
It's hard not to get depressed and lose enthusiasm.

“are you sure we’re still in the majority???”

Maybe not in terms of actual political affiliation, but I think that there are myriads of one-time liberal/left-leaning voters who, after witnessing the extremism we’ve seen in our streets and cities these past few weeks, are willing to change parties for the next election.

The next election may be it for the republic. We need both houses (in significant majorities) and the White House in order to get the American “house” back in order.

It kills me when I talk to or hear people that are confused as to what is happening to our country. It’s called C-O-M-M-U-N-I-S-M !

And it needs to be physically fought and defeated.

When Your Private Dinner Conversation Becomes Your Waiter’s Facebook Post

I doubt we'll be eating out much even now that it's started opening up.

My bet is the silent majority is bigger than ever and that we’ll see that in November.

Does one really think a majority of votes for the President in November will slow down these Communists. They won’t even recognize there is such a thing as an election. However, a majority of votes with pushback by the left may finally bring the awakening we need. In some ways I believe we are already awake, and depending on our leaders to be the bulwark. Sadly, with few exceptions, we are not experiencing that. Cotton, Hawley, Cruz, and Gaetz are about it for standing in the Gap. There are a few others.

A couple of times I’ve been taken aback at what I heard customers say at their table. The reality is that wait staff can overhear without trying and will talk in the kitchen, though most try to not be too critical of those leaving us tips.

The story in your link shocks me. Bartenders usually keep their mouths shut-it’s part of the job and restaurant owners respect customers.

Battered Wives Syndrome - they will ALWAYS go back to their bad boys to give them one more chance.

This article should be sent to every Republican Senator or Congressman along with the question, “What are you doing about this?”

The bartender is the very definition of a snowflake if he was “distraught” because a customer thought the BLM movement was BS and that white privilege doesn’t exist. The owners were cowards to hire him back after firing him and for banning the customer forever because of some backlash on social media.

Elections are moot. We are about to see Broward County go national.

The only legitimate election in the eyes of the Media is one where Democrats win.

Anyone who still thinks our quaint biennial beauty pageant is going to solve all America’s ills is a Pollyanna and a danger to themselves and society.

As far as the stampeding herd of herbivores formerly known as the Mercun Peepul, they are about to get the nation they deserve - and giving their white daughters to the black savages is only the beginning of their demands.

Well, we’ve always known that there are some things we don’t discuss in public: company stuff, family and friends, health stuff. But politics has never been off the table because we don’t say anything in private that we wouldn’t say in public.

But hubby’s not retired yet. And he actually loves his job.

Rather than censor ourselves on a subject we enjoy talking about, we just won’t eat out.

Note to waitstaff everywhere: Since we’re excellent tippers, it’s your loss.

Two sides can play that game....Mission on the Bay restaurant should get bombarded with catcalls by conservatives. They need to get the yelp and Red Hen restaurant treatment.

That’s what they want—no police but Stasi and social media is the backbone. Most participate willingly, yes, lets all tear down the ‘Karens’ (being ‘Karens’ in doing so). Social media is poison, it’s communist.

Twitter booted me off last year.

Social media isn’t the problem, though.

It’s the people who own and run social media.

There is no Silent Majority anymore. Those people have been systematically replaced. They have been run out of their cities to suburbs, had their children pushed into expensive private schools, had their very existence contested. It’s been done on purpose, it has everything to do with race or at least ethnicity. It’s not 1968 anymore. Trump has a tough battle ahead until November, and his opponent belongs in a nursing home.

Thanks for the link, it should be a post of its own.
