I decided to take myself to a nice South Jersey diner this morning for breakfast. Sitting in a room near two older gentlemen, at first they were just shouting at each other about the quality of the food in various places they had eaten. That got on my nerves enough, but I understand if people are hard of hearing and I have to make allowances.
However, the subject just turned to politics quickly. These two right wingers touched on every single Fox News topic imaginable. It was like a reprise of everything we have discussed here on DU that has appeared on Fox News including but not limited to what Obama did on the first day of his presidency all those years ago.
I will spare you all the details, but it was so horrible that I was tempted, although I did not do this, of standing up getting ready to pay my check and asking them where I could buy the white sheets and hoods. It was one of those repulsive Situations I found myself in a long time and could not wait to get out of there. Its really a shame because the food was delicious and I could not savor it because I was so wrapped up in the horrific nature of their discussions.
Thank you for allowing me to vent!

I always look at these old white geezers like the pathetic people they are.

(8,977 posts)because my order always seemed to come with a side of Trump humping. Last time I was in there the owner and one of his cronies were going on about my body my choice. You can imagine. I ended up smiling sweetly, saying Is abortion contagious now? and walking out. Luckily there are other places. Still. You would think a business owner would be smart enough not to lose customers over right wing talking points. Guess not.

You and I would think so, but we'd be wrong. Reicht wingers think everybody is a reicht winger. It's a corollary to the old saying "The thief thinks everybody is a thief."
