Why are young Republican males so ghoulish? God.

My cousin texted me a few hours ago saying that at her local gym that is reopened, a crazy MAGAite came in screaming "Blue Lives Matter" and "We Back The Troops".

He is a 20-something, meathead type, she said.

What's wrong with them?

I’ve read about in the past few days. Must be a coordinated raving.

She was so scared she left the gym because she was afraid that he would shoot up the gym.

All he was doing was screaming Blue Lives Matter and Police Lives Matter.

went from breakroom to breakroom yelling "Everyone has to say 'Merry Christmas' now!! We won!" over and over again. When I laughed in his face he bellowed that Don-Don would serve multiple terms and Ivanka would someday be America's First Lady. (I cannot say if he meant that she would be America's first Woman President, or that he thought Don-Don would kick Melania to the curb and marry his own daughter. I suspect he would be quite comfortable with the latter.) After a lengthy argument, I wished him a Happy Hanukkah as he stomped out the door. I haven't seen him since; I presume he got himself fired.

One of those pathetic jerks who can't face the reality of aging, he was a shitweasel long before Don-Don oozed into the Offal Orifice, constantly causing problems in order to convince himself he was "hardcore"...then crying "victim" when his troublemaking landed him in trouble.

I honestly couldn't give a flying fuck about what stores greet you with "Merry Christmas" vs "Happy Holidays". But if that's the hill you choose to die on, that's your prerogative.

And the people who think that Trump can somehow magically serve more than 2 terms or that his first term doesn't count obviously failed their high school civics class.

Referring to both Christmas and New Years --- it was The Holiday Season, after all.

These people are gripped in nostalgia for a time that never was....

as an aside, if I am permitted, sir: I sincerely wish a Happy Holiday Season to one and all at every and all Holiday Season any and everywhere they fall!

My favorite is Saint Frithestan Day - Sept 9th, today is coincidentally enough Saint Frithestan Eve.

Happy Holidays, your honor!

I hope I get a sled this year!

Those sorts almost always have zero military experience. Maybe tell them to go to the nearest recruiting office and sign up if they are so supportive of the troops.

But probably because it would seem weird and self serving for an active or retired soldier to say it.

... being pro-Republican. The bully-types are naturally drawn to them because the Democratic party isn't cruel and mean enough for them.

Others became more that way after aligning with the Republicans, like a soldier back from war who struggles to function in civilized society.

Their mental illness is drilled into them and they probably have an abundance prescription growth hormones fed to them by mommy and daddy in the work/responsibility free lifestyle they set up for them. Their Republican Klan then claims mental illness when one goes berserk with the constant destruction and kills or maims others.
