I was at the grocery store Sunday

[Jimbo S]

I live in a red area.

I noticed a woman in my aisle wearing a T-shirt "FUCK TRUMP. IF YOU LIKE TRUMP, FUCK YOU TOO"

I nodded my approval to her and discretely said "Nice shirt". She responded "Thanks".

[niyad]

1. Excellent!

[2naSalit]

2. I live in a...

50/50 area, a lot of that goes on in our grocery stores.

[czarjak]

3. My motto since the escalator ride for sure. (Have actually abhorred him since long before)

[japple]

4. Must have taken a lot of courage to wear that shirt in a red area.

More power to her and other brave souls like her.

[Tree Lady]

33. I live in a red city blue state

neighbor on my dog walk mile from me has all the trump flags and bumper stickers a month ago guy across street after years of looking at this must have said, enough! Put up huge flag with huge lettering that says, SEND TRUMP TO PRISON! With huge flames under the words.

I thought that is pissed off neighbor with balls.

Nice to see our side fighting back.

[marble falls]

5. She's not here in Central Texas, though I am seeing fewer MAGA hats and bumper stickers ...

... All those new trucks they bought last do not have, for the most part MAGA or TFG stickers at all.

[Mopar151]

38. They're leased! With maintainence priced in, and annual inspections.

Dealers tired of lease turn-ins that need full paint, calipers & rotors, and $1000 worth of tires.

[mwb970]

6. I would never wear a shirt with that on it in public.

I agree with the sentiment, but I also have standards for public behavior.

[TNNurse]

7. I agree.

"Trump for prison" would do. Or if you support "Trump, stay away, I don't trust you."

But that shirt is bad as the anti Biden signs and flags with "Fuck" on them.

[KS Toronado]

11. How about

"This Republican thinks we can do better than trump" If a stranger thinks it's a fellow R who's wearing such
a T-shirt, less likely to get mad at you and might even help their critical thinking skills.

[Sucha NastyWoman]

26. Know what you mean

I was really furious when I saw a bumper sticker that said F Joe Biden and his Ho, where the F word was written in AK-47s

[tavernier]

8. Glad to see your post.

I agree with the sentiment but hate seeing our country turning into a smelly barnyard. That was rumps goal, after all.

[CommonHumanity]

10. Exactly

Yeah, I hate the fucking fucker too, but amping up the level of political division is their goal.

Don't get me wrong, it's not a big issue to me and I do give a high five to the woman for having guts. It is just worth noting that it plays into the hands of the fucking fuckers.

Btw, doesn't it suck the we use terms associated with sex and body parts to describe the worst of the worst? Yes, I'm guilty too, as evidenced by my previous sentence. Just sayin' that it is strange, fairly universal and most likely a pretty negative phenomena.

[LakeArenal]

35. I was about to say... if you say it what is wrong with reading it on a shirt?

Beside the ef word, as we used to say, has lost all its curse and insult.

We have even surpassed the B word; which we used to be able to say and now can’t.

No one would dream of dropping the C word in general conversation….yet.

[calimary]

48. Hey, I learned all my worst swear words in Catholic school.

Just sayin’.

Maybe it’s the repression that bring it out.

[Skittles]

9. agreed

this is the kind of person who is SHOCKED I tell you, to be kicked off a plane for wearing that....

[BlackSkimmer]

15. I agree.

This race to the bottom is not one in which I'm the least bit interested.

[Sympthsical]

24. Wait

So you're telling me you don't see a person wearing a shirt like that and immediately think, "What an interesting person they must be on the inside!"

Huh.

At least the story didn't end with a quiet fist bump. I haven't seen one of those in ages. I crave the fantasy.

[BlackSkimmer]

27. Lol!

I prefer the applause in the checkout line or at the gas pumps...

[Rorey]

16. Same here

As a mom, and now grandma, I remember when my kids were learning to read, they read *everything*. I didn't want to have to explain to them that just because a word is printed, they still shouldn't say it.

I'm not a prude, but I try to watch what I say so I'm not offensive to some folks.

[Emile]

19. How about a tee shirt with a pic of Trump with the words I pooped today.

[Meadowoak]

44. I would wear it proudly.

[COL Mustard]

46. I agre with you.

I occasionally drop an F-bomb but only in private conversations. I would never wear a shirt that said it in public. But yeah, F him and the poor horse he rode in on. Can you imagine how swaybacked that thing is after carrying him?

[lastlib]

12. I have a coffe mug with something like that on it....

...I only use it in my office, tho. (Some decorum....)

I do think it makes the coffee taste better.......

[soldierant]

41. LOL!

I am still using mine which has a picture of Obama with the caption "Made in the USA" on one side and his birth certificate on the other.

[COL Mustard]

47. I can't have something like that in the office.

Hatch Act rules, you know. I could have a picture of any FORMER President, just not the current one or his opponent during campaign season. The exception is I can have a picture of the President if I'm in it (like a grip and grin) or the official photograph.

[dalton99a]

13. Kick

[rambler_american]

14. When my tenant's son

pulled into our shared driveway with a bumper sticker that read "Fuck Joe Biden and fuck you for voting for him" I told him to either remove the sticker or remove the car from my property. Said in no uncertain terms including reminding him whose property it is. He removed the sticker. Here's the thing, though. If it had expressed similar sentiments about trump I would have done the same thing, though perhaps a little more gently. It disturbs me that discourse on both sides has become so indecorous and confrontational.

[Chainfire]

17. That would be the equivalent of wearing a "kick me" sign around here.

In our gun culture, I do not go out of my way to insult strangers, regardless of how I feel about them.

[yonder]

32. Same here.

[multigraincracker]

18. I've always liked this one.

If you support trump, you are either a billionaire or an idiot. Check your bank account to see which one you are.

[FakeNoose]

29. 🤣👆😎

Best answer!

[tiredtoo]

31. I used to say

If you support trump, you're either a billionaire or a racist. Got some flack from folks claiming to be neither. Should have added idiot to the statement.

[Upthevibe]

20. Kick. N/T

[Oopsie Daisy]

21. I hate Trump too. But I don't see much benefit in trying to provoke confrontation in that manner.

I wouldn't want to make myself an obvious target for hostility or violence.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

22. K&R

[kimbutgar]

23. She is so very brave to wear that shirt in public

Some of those magaloons are so unhinged that they may go off on her.

[calimary]

42. She probably appreciated the positive reinforcement.

It’s nice that you did that!

[TheBlackAdder]

25. That's a ballsy move, especially in a Red area.

[sarisataka]

28. I'm confused again

I thought we we against the display of the word 'fuck' in public. Children could see it.

Now it's cool again?

[Raine]

30. Rude and crude and a good way to get your head bashed in. 👎 nt

[republianmushroom]

34. Good

[Demobrat]

36. And when she came out of the grocery store

her car was keyed.

I am a small woman. I haven’t worn anything political since I got hassled by three large dudes for wearing a Howard Dean tee shirt - in San Francisco.

[PlutosHeart]

37. I went to Subway

in our reddist County in the State of MN.
Staffed by 3 Gen Zers and one tattooed wild-haired 40some-year-old manager? None of them knew Orange man was being investigated, nor indicted, and had no clue who Jack Smith was.

[Buttoneer]

39. It's how I find my people. I wear my

"Trump for Prison" shirt all the time. I also wear anti-Trump/anti-Maga pinback buttons along with progressive buttons. It's a conversation starter to find allies, and smile when I see MAGATs grimace or sneer.

[hunter]

40. I've noticed Trump flags coming down in my travels through deep red Republican California.

Soon it will be like they never knew the guy.

I'm not confident their next heroes will be any better.

[Stinky The Clown]

43. Said shirt

[Chakaconcarne]

50. This kind of thing contributes to the degradation of our humanity/civility..

30+ years ago, you could feel this way, but you would really only express it to your immediates, instead of the whole world. The reason you did that was so you wouldn't offend others - because that mattered.

People are blasting this kind of thing all over social media and now it's bleeding into public life.

What are you actually accomplishing besides a fleeting, public thumbs up ? That's all this really is...

It's completely juvenile and if everyone could refrain, we would be better off.... I might agree with it, but I would not have encouraged it by acknowledging it to the person.

That is my opinion.
