Early last week, I was at the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library for its first weekend. At the library itself, despite President Donald Trump inserting himself incongruously into the opening ceremonies, I did not see a single person sporting a Trump-branded clothing item.
The town of Medora, North Dakota, itself was, however, a different story. It wasn’t overwhelming. But for someone who lives in an urban center of a blue state, where even in the ruby red rural areas most people have become sufficiently shamed to shut up about their MAGA tendencies, a single errant MAGA cap is a rarity.
Last year we hosted a holiday dinner and included a neighborhood couple we had never met. Within minutes it became apparent we had invited a Magat POS. He actually exceeded expectations, bringing up Trump time and again and ignoring the fact we kept changing the subject. It took one of us openly ridiculing Trump to get him to finally shut the fuck up. It was only because we didn’t want to make other people there uncomfortable that he wasn’t out the door on his ass.
His wife (not Maga) has since approached us asking to get together and we’ve politely declined. No need to tell her we’d rather have triple servings of Taco Bell lettuce during a root canal than to ever spend a minute in her husband’s miserable presence again.
I think you should tell her. Explicitly. Be very detailed about your feelings. Ignoring these things will not help.
Day old, wilted taco bell lettuce, root canal done by a jackhammer operate with no anesthetic or pain killers.
Detailed.
Lmao taco bell lettuce. I do not support the women who support those men. Idc if they say they are different than him.
threesome material but prob not worth it lol
That’s how you get shot by someone “protecting his property.”
Tonight on “Gunplay Gone Wrong”
Reminded me of this
I think the ghost of David Bowe and Ed Begley Jr’s love-child shot that home invader!

So you let people be uncomfortable by letting him stay?
YATA.
Thanks for reminding all of us that there are much bigger assholes around than Trump supporters. You I would have thrown out and the crowd would have cheered.
LOL! - Just looked at your comment history. Did you crawl out of a sewer to share your stink with Lemmy?
Nah, sounds like they found an appropriate middle way by signalling that that kind of talk was not welcome there. Ejecting their guest would likely have been riskier and would have been an escalation from there.
