Saw a guy in Walmart wearing a shirt that said, "Just a dad trying to keep his kids from growing up liberal"

[Ned Low]

I walked up to him and said, "I totally get your shirt." He chuckled a bit and said "thank you." Then I continued, "It's rough when your kids grow up smarter than you." He stopped chuckling and walked away.

[Turbineguy]

1. Well played

[blm]

2. Nice play.

👍🏽

[jcgoldie]

3. Then his wife came around the corner...

… in her “I’m with stupid —>” shirt…

[no_hypocrisy]

4. Jesus, did my father rise from the Dead?

That's him!

Of course, it didn't work out the way he wanted . . . . .

[Bluethroughu]

5. That's hilarious!

My husband said he was suprized the guy understood.

[IA8IT]

6. Farmers Market here this summer man with I heart guns and titties t-shirt and daughter beside him.

her chin was even with the table

[BootinUp]

7. You might have ruined him, lol.

[Evolve Dammit]

8. Beautiful!

[Jay25]

9. Good one.

[Sibelius Fan]

10. Isn't that what you'd expect to see at WalMart?

BTW - why are you supporting overtly RW businesses?

[niyad]

14. You do remember that in some areas, the evil empire is all there is?

[mgardener]

16. In some rural areas, that is all people have

And prices they can afford.

[TexasDem69]

23. Where do you propose this individual shop?

I can save about 20% on groceries by shopping at the local Walmart, and probably 30% compared to Whole Foods

[femmedem]

37. It's nearly impossible to live entirely by one's ideals.

If you live without supporting factory farming, Amazon, and the fossil fuel industry, hats off to you. But even if that's the case, shaming someone for shopping at Walmart isn't necessary.

[Niagara]

38. That's not 100% accurate.

Alice Walton is a mixed bag politically. In 2008, she donated 25K to a Hillary Clinton PAC. Alice doesn't have a dedicated political party.

Samuel, Lukas, and another Walton (their first name escapes me at the moment) are big time Democratic donors and have donated to Joe Biden.

I will add links sometime after 1pm Est. I'm on my phone at the moment.


2:47PM Edit Update:
FEC Alice L Walton Contributions. Alice's PAC donations to Hillary Clinton is the last one on the page.

The other Walton that supports Democrats that the name escaped me is Christy Walton. https://www.forbes.com/sites/walterloeb/2020/10/07/walmarts-political-dichotomy-is-no-surprise/?sh=38cc57572981rting

Also, in some smaller communities Walmart is the only choice people have to shop at.

[Grumpy Old Guy]

11. Lucky he didn't shoot you!

These people are psycho!

[Cha]

12. Riiiight.. better to grow up

as a brain dead magat.

[limbicnuminousity]

13. Well played!

Mayhap he found solace in the literature section under self-help for narcissists.

[SeattleVet]

32. Seriously?

Does this sound like the type of guy that would even know where the literature section is?

[sop]

15. I've seen a few bumper stickers with that recently.

It's the same as saying "I don't want my children to be educated."

[Seinan Sensei]

42. And he needs to REFUSE to cash his Social Security check

[Ford_Prefect]

17. Another response: Afraid of the questions they'll ask you, eh? Or afraid of them asking any questions?

Like the big "Why"? Or perhaps the big "Why Not?" Along with the big "What if?"

They're the questions that often got me in trouble at school, and church.

[republianmushroom]

18. And that is because conservative have done so well. (Chuck, chuck)

[TSExile]

19. "Dads Against Daughters Dating Democrats"

I saw that charming phrase on a bumper sticker not long ago. Thankfully, the car in front of me the sticker was attached to turned at the next intersection so I wasn't stuck behind him for my entire drive to work!!

[GoCubsGo]

40. I guess he's okay with his sons dating Democrats?

GOPers sure do love to control their women. But, what better way to drive those daughters straight into the Democratic Party, regardless of who Daddy lets them date? What a stupid schmuck.

[machoneman]

41. Well, there is some benefit to us and the general population: like inbreeding with your 1st cousin, those poor....

...women will mate with Neanderthal-like MAGATS and produce damaged kids voting later only for R's. Hopefully, they will all move to TexASS to be with fellow miscreants.

[TeamProg]

20. Ouch! Sweet!

[Major Nikon]

21. These are the sort of people who die alone

...after they have alienated everyone around them because they aren't narrow minded like they are.

One of my coworkers was like that and couldn't figure out why none of his kids wanted nothing to do with him after they moved out as soon as they could.

[TexasDem69]

22. Not on board with this. I don't understand why

You’d confront someone over a T-shirt slogan. Why amp up the stress in his day and your day over a political message? What did this confrontation accomplish?

[BootinUp]

25. Just a t-shirt slogan. If you ignore

The slur against his fellow countrymen.

[KS Toronado]

26. Attack and educate repugs whenever the opportunity presents itself

Best way to get them to quit voting against their own interests.

[TexasDem69]

29. Do you think Republicans should "attack and educate" Democrats?

This was a really dumb thing to do. And the OP wasn’t trying to “educate” anyone, simply making a snide remark that seems designed to cause a fight.

[Orrex]

31. I would go a step further and call it, well, a remarkable tale

[KS Toronado]

36. I ATTACK REPUGS EVERY CHANCE I GET

I WANT MORE PEOPLE IN THIS RED TOWN TO VOTE DEMOCRAT AND I'VE CONVERTED SEVERAL , HAVE YOU
EVER CONVINCED A R TO VOTE D?

I NEVER ATTACK WITH KNIVES OR SWORDS BUT WITH CAREFULLY CHOSEN WORDS , PLUS I'M VERY TACTFUL,
AND ALWAYS WEAR A SMILE.

IT'S A BATTLE OF WITS AND ONE NEEDS TO HAVE HIS FACTS IN ORDER AND NOT ALLOW THE ENEMY TO
STEER YOU OFF COURSE.

YOU SEEM TO THINK IT WAS GOING TO BE A FIST FIGHT WHEN Ned Low APPROACHED A STRANGER WITH
A COMMENT, BUT IF YOU HAD READ CLOSELY HE SAID " " He chuckled a bit and said "thank you."

YOU WERE NOT THERE YOU HAVE NO IDEA OF HIS BODY LANGUAGE DO YOU? BELIEVE Ned Low AND I
ARE BOTH EQUIPPED TO ATTACK REPUGS WITH KIND WORDS AND QUESTIONS THAT GIVE THEM PAUSE
TO THINK. CAN YOU DO THE SAME OR NOT?

BE NICE OF YOU TO GIVE Ned Low AND MYSELF AN APOLOGY FOR READING INTO STUFF THAT ISN'T THERE.

[TexasDem69]

47. You aren't paying attention

And are completely and utterly wrong. He said the stranger “chuckled a bit” until he realized the OP wasn’t making a compliment but in fact was insulting him. That’s not how you convert people to your point of view and no apology is necessary.

[Raine]

28. Totally agree. The OP is lucky he didn't get his

mouth punched in and teeth knocked out or even worse.

[Justice matters.]

35. Well, it depends on OP "size" and apparent "musculature" ...

I know nobody would mouth-punch me...

[albacore]

24. Amazon has 'em...

I searched, but could not find an Amazon shirt about not raising a Republican. A quick search of the Web couldn't find one either.
There is something fundamentally wrong with those people.
I hope the guy's kid gets counseling....

[Otterdaemmerung]

27. Mamas...

... don't let your babies grow up to be cultists.

[PlanetBev]

30. Ned, in the Guts Olympics category

You win the Gold! 🏆 👏

[fierywoman]

33. Majorly ballsy ! Bravo!

[Niagara]

39. Honestly, the only time that I verbally smack down MAGATS

Is when they start shit with me first and then I let them have it with facts. These people that I smack down with facts are people that I actually know.


I don't go around starting fights with strangers. If someone is minding their own business I let them be.


You're lucky that they didn't have a gun and pull it on you.

[William Seger]

43. Unfortunately, that shirt is probably true

Bigotry must be taught, and virtually all bigots learn it from their parents.

[flying_wahini]

44. Well done, sir!

If you are gonna wear inflammatory clothes, expect a response.
My grocery store encounter;
There was a young man wearing a tshirt that said ALL WOMEN ARE PU**y BITCHES
and I called out to him “does your mama know you wear that out in public, cause she won’t be happy about it.” He shook his head but several people craned their neck to see what it said.
Oh well.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

45. Taylor Swift T-shirts and merchandise must be selling like hotcakes then.

There's a lot out there to be had it appears.

Lots on Etsy, eBay, and Amazon.

[pandr32]

46. My hat's off to you.

Perfect comment to a proud idiot.
