Trumpist at my door here in South Provo, Arizona just now ...

Paraphrasing what he said, but precisely what I said:

Kid: Hi sir I'm so and so and I'm working with Trump something something and we're out reminding people to turn in their ballots.

Me: Okay

Kid: So can I ask if you were planning to vote for Mango Mussolini?

Me (with a look of incredulity): OH FUCK NO! (then chuckling)

Kid: Okay I see ... so Biden then?

Me (with evident great pride): With GREAT PRIDE my friend!

Kid: Alright, so I guess you've already sent your ballot in then, like I say we're just out reminding people ...

Me: (Looking him at him sternly in the eye): First ... fucking ... day ... I could!

Kid: Okay well, thank you sir!

Me (with smarmy tone): Good luck out there! (closes door)

That was fun.

parties were the same. They have since found out that, but they are not. I believe a lot of the will be solid members of the Democratic Party.

and encounters Trump supporters, I'd prefer their responses not include "fuck." Though I can't say I could restrain myself if one came by here. The thing is, they wouldn't. It's a heavily Democratic area.

9. Well, I didn't use 'fuck' towards the person, just as a tool to make my passion evident :)

If it had been just about anyone OTHER than a 19-ish year old boy (whose ass I totally could've kicked if needed), I'd have been more reticent about the profanity, but ... I figured this was my one and only chance.

...should of shamed him mercilessly for supporting the pandemic enabler/minimizer and reminded him he too could become one of the 230,000+ Trump Virus victims...

...I would have asked,"...trump has never had a pandemic plan, trump's never played straight with us, so what would 4 more years of trump bring us but more dead Americans?"...

...trump...

It would have been so easy to have begun some violent, blood-soaked, screaming rituals to excise the demon from the kid, but that might not have convinced him to vote blue in the future.

Note: However fun the fantasy, there's no evidence that the demon GOP can be physically yanked from the hind parts of those who suffer from it.
