Maskless Maggat confronts me then cowers. A true and revealing event.
I was shopping last Friday for groceries and was one of the few people in the store wearing a mask.
As I wheeled my cart down the coffee isle a forty year old looking guy, a guy much younger than me, a guy not wearing a mask, spotted me and headed straight towards me, agitated. When he got within 15 feet of me or so he started shouting, "What are you afraid of, dude. What's with the f*cking mask..." Not in the mood to engage this asshole, I replied "I'm wearing it because I don't feel well." Seriously, the guy stopped dead in his tracks and the color drained from his face. He literally backed away and left the isle without saying another word. So much for another fearless and maskless Trumper, eh? ![]()

Female friends works at Sheri’s and another at the book store - both have been confronted by guys that really got in their face, and it’s intimidating for them.
My wife has never been confronted, or course we usually go out together. Nor, has any of our females friends when I escort them somewhere. |

28. The naval base in New London adds to it too.
Many of the submariners retire in the area in the less expensive inland towns, but close enough they can shop at the bases PX.
But most of the Trumpers are just white nutmeggers, our state nickname, with a nativist streak. Eastern Connecticut used to be very purple even though it's now more lean blue. We had a congressional race here not that long ago that was won by just 21 votes. |

47. Western NY is like that. Buffalo
and some of its suburbs are very blue. But other Buffalo suburbs are red. The farther from Buffalo you go, the redder it gets. Rural villages, small towns, dairy farms are all very red except a couple small cities.
I am in a small city surrounded by rural Magats and a handful of them within the city. I am a 5 foot senior woman. I have had young men in stores follow me to the checkout in order to deliberately crowd around me there. They don't address me directly, but joke among themselves about masks. One cashier orderd a man to back up from me and he argued with her until she said she was calling the manager. Another time, different store, I told them it wasn't necessary to crawl inside my clothes and they backed off when the cashier glared at them. Just because I am a short, old woman wearing a mask. |

And the shitstains that keep screaming at maskers about "you're living in fear!!!!" are the same useless turdgobs that think they have to take their guns to the state fair or the grocery store, are terrified that "illegals" are taking everything over, are terrified of "socialists" and "communists" and "scientists" and "knowledge" and women, brown people, disabled people, rich people who aren't MAGA, creative people, academics, educated people, and their own sexuality.

96. My favourite grocery store story came in the Before Times, the '16 campaign. I had
been hearing about all the t***** supporters, but had not actually seen one in my slightly bluer area of fundieville. I walked into the store, and a woman was standing by one of the floral displays, wearing the red t**** t-shirt. As I walked past, I said, "It is so handy when idiots self-identify," smiled at her, and kept walking. I encountered her later, and she just glared at me as I shook my head.
Cannot imagine how that scene would play out these days. |

33. When I see someone looking at me funny
while I'm one of the few wearing a mask, I just start coughing real loud and act like I'm having trouble catching
my breath. One day a masked lady came rather quickly to see if I was OK, I informed her I was just clearing the aisle of anti-maskers. We had a good laugh and she said she was going to start doing the same. We sure in the hell don't need antivaxers & antimaskers close to us when we're playing by the rules and they're not. ![]() |

36. For what it's worth, this old person
who always wears a mask in stores, has never been confronted by anyone. I'm short, not tall and intimidating. Perhaps I simply give off a "Don't fuck with me" vibe all the time.

42. I suspect the MAGAts are more afraid than we are
Their response is denial, instead of taking action, because they want to wish COVID away. And people who wear masks or get vaccinated are a direct threat to this denial. They think we are giving COVID the power that they are struggling desperately to deny to it.

Best way to get rid of them is not to ignore them and walk away, it's to scare the crap out of them.

46. Great response!!!
They're a bunch of weenies, aren't they?
They are big and tough and loud...until someone confronts them. That's their super power; they don't think anyone will confront them, and they are surprised and frightened when someone does. |

50. This is OUTSTANDING, bluewater! Bravo!
That confrontational bluster apparently is their “mask” - literally “masking” their inner cowardice.
You just proved it. Don’t see many confrontationals where we are here in NW Oregon. It’s pretty blue here, and generally well-masked. But I’m gonna remember your response to apply if some Maggat jerk tries to give this little old lady any shit for wearing a mask (as I ALWAYS do). Btw - I call ‘em “Maggats” too. Cuz that’s what their shitty, selfish, thoughtless, thoroughly inconsiderate, and belligerent behavior proves they are. |

55. You were lucky
Some of the ones I've known, would double down after hearing that - on the assumption that, not feeling well, one would be easier to intimidate.
Which makes them lowlifes (again, some). That said, that was a great answer. ![]() |

56. Yep. I've told some I've been around my daughter who works in an ICU ward with dying COVID patients.
Which is true. I resisted the urge to take off the mask and cough on them.
Sometimes I've added, truthfully, that over 95% of those on ventilators with COVID die. |

Maybe they are afraid I might swing my cane at them.

Proper procedure...
1. Step closer 2. Drop mask 3. Cough 4. Explain feeling sick. 3 and 4 can be reversed |

75. So the line running through this whole thread is they are brave and
not afraid of COVID because none of their friends have it and they are healthy with good even superior genes, but coming face to face with the possibility of somebody near them being sick that's another story. Oops forgot something in the other aisle.

80. Thank you for this! I will use your response. I passed two unmasked women at Walmart today.
They looked at me in my mask, then after they went by, one of them muttered in disgust, "Christ!"
I wish I had said (but wouldn't have because I'm too chicken), "Oh, hey! Say hello to him for me when you die of Covid!" |
