My MAGA neighbor got a bit of "finding out" last night.

[CaptainTruth]

I'm going to omit details for anonymity.

I have a MAGA Neighbor who's an immigrant (from Country B) & a disabled veteran. And yes, he voted for Trump & wears a MAGA cap all the time. Makes perfect sense, right? He had a Trump sign in his yard but it strangely disappeared in a day or two.

Last night he apparently approached my Other Neighbor & a shouting match erupted. Well, Other Neighbor was shouting, I think MAGA Neighbor quickly retreated to hide in his house.

I stepped outside to see what the commotion was & heard Other Neighbor yelling about being "tired of your effing white supremacy bullshit" & "YOU should be the one to effing leave, go back to effing Country B" & "get off my land, don't ever come in my effing driveway or effing talk to me again" &, referring to his MAGA cap, "take that effing thing off your effing head."

There was more, he went on for a good 20 minutes at a volume the whole neighborhood could hear, but that's enough to give you the idea.

Afterward I kept thinking that MAGA Neighbor was probably wondering why Other Neighbor got so lividly mad at him. I've seen other MAGAs be totally puzzled when confronted with the anger of people who were hurt by their vote. Stunned. "Why are they so mad at me?!?" They're so clueless, so uninformed & misinformed, they can't understand it.

I'm sure he still doesn't understand it, but I think MAGA Neighbor got a bit of "finding out" that his vote has real consequences for real people, including himself, in the real world. I don't think he'll be venturing anywhere near Other Neighbor anytime soon, probably never.

And I think I now know why MAGA Neighbor's Trump sign disappeared from his yard so quickly.

1. Yup: FAFO is already at work! I think that this will happen more and more.

[usaf-vet]

39. FAFO ????

[SharonAnn]

40. "F" Around - Find Out

[usaf-vet]

43. Thank you.

[Baitball Blogger]

2. Keep these stories coming.

It is the only thing that is going to keep me sane.

[LilyBelle]

36. I will never tire of these stories!

[LetMyPeopleVote]

3. Some trump supporters are not going to be happy

[keithbvadu2]

26. And the immigrants that I am underpaying.

Remember:::: whatever bad that Donald says about "illegals"/undoc immigrants, he would rather hire them than pay Americans.
The very same "illegals"/undoc immigrants that he blames for so much crime.
He only quit hiring them when it became politically inconvenient.

[allegorical oracle]

58. Joy Reid, tonight, reported that Elon and Vivek are planning to cut veterans'

benefits. MTG weighed in on the matter now that she's part of the slice-and-fry brigade. She's said (paraphrasing) it's going to be hard, but "we aren't going to care" if it makes people feel bad.

If this cut occurs, there's going to be lots of MAGA-guy regrets.

[arthritisR_US]

65. When that piece of shit takes office their regrets will be in the

trash with them.

[wnylib]

61. Some big time projection going on there.

American rapist criminal accuses immigrants of being rapists and criminals.

Son of an immigrant mother and grandson of another immigrant who operated a brothel.

Lotta projection.

[Trueblue1968]

4. Your maga neighbor is in the Stinky pile made up of millions of monsters who voted for the orange anus.

[Diamond_Dog]

5. Hey Trump Voters .........

[samplegirl]

19. Omg

Peeing!😂😂😂😂

[calimary]

22. She smirks for me!

[usonian]

6. Speaking of immigrant trouble makers ..

https://www.democraticunderground.com/100219696928

The shadow of apartheid South Africa in America. They brung it with them.

[Meowmee]

7. Interesting

I have not seen anything like that happen here, but I’m not up one when most people are usually.

One thing I did notice was that there were almost no political signs this year. I didn’t see any psychos signs anywhere except on a bridge, and I saw on one house near where I walk all Democratic signs.

[boonecreek]

8. Does MAGA neighbor know

That Homan has been talking about denaturaling?

[alcuno]

18. Can you imagine?

Taking away citizenship on some ridiculous error? Obviously if people lied on their applications, that could be a serious thing. But to start digging that deep? These are people who are clearly filled with hate and grievance.

And Welcome to DU, boonecreek.

[boonecreek]

27. Thank you.

I've been lurking here forever. Finally decided to actually start participating.

[travelingthrulife]

32. There will be many like this but someone like Elon Musk did NOT make an error.

He chose not to attend school as promised and then, apparently, lied about it during naturalization process.

[boonecreek]

70. Hey, thanks

Sorry I took so long to get back. I'm still finding my way around.

[keithbvadu2]

59. "denaturaling"... Vance had to apologize to his white supremacists because his wife is not white.

Now he could get a proper white wife.

???

[boonecreek]

69. I misspelled "denaturalizing"

Last week Thom Hartmann played a clip of
Homan threatening to do just that. How he could do that is unclear.
Pretty sure he can't strip someone of their citizenship simply because he doesn't like their ethnicity. Also, Vance's wife is US born. Vance has acknowledged attacks on her from jerks like Nick Fuentes.but he hasn't defended her either. Apologize for taking so long to answer.

[keithbvadu2]

71. "is US born" - Yep. - In their hate, Trumpsters can find a way around that. Maybe 'sins of the parents' type logic.

"is US born" - Yep. - In their hate, Trumpsters can find a way around that. Maybe 'sins of the parents' type logic.

Passed down to the children like original sin in their newer, non-weak, non-woke version of Christianity.

That US Constitution has some inconvenient stuff in it that they would like to delete.

[surfered]

9. My observations have been a bit different.

Prior to the election, there were fewer Trump yard signs and flags flying on trucks and golf carts. We’re a resort beach town with about 2,500 residents, but 5,500 golf carts. The tourists love them.

After the election, I have seen more Trump flags flying on trucks and golf carts, including flags saying “F**k Your Feelings.”

It seems Trump supporters were tentative before he won, but now are emboldened, gloating, and taunting. I’m sure you know the types…a******s.

[Biophilic]

10. My experiences have been somewhat different.

SW coast of Florida, retirement and snowbird town. A few new trump stickers on snowbirds cars. Otherwise very quiet. Thankfully. There were a few trump signs before election but almost all are gone. Thank heavens.

[surfered]

14. The snowbirds are starting to show. Funny, I used to make fun of them, but now I'm their age.

A lot of Navy vets, good guys.

[tosh]

20. Same,

In rural SWGa, just a few miles south of Pres. Carter’s home. I see MANY more trump signs post-election, and a whole lot of Farmers for Trump signs have suddenly appeared … like yeah, DUH, TSF is really going to be great for you farmers, lol.

This is Sanford Bishop’s district and he always wins re-election.

Make it make sense!

[Abolishinist]

28. This doesn't surprise me at all.

I'm lucky, I live in a 2/3 blue precinct, and there were NO signs for either presidential candidate in this race or past ones. There were a few for propositions, council members etc.

But my gut told me that post-election, his supporters would be as you say - emboldened, gloating, and taunting. They were anxiously awaiting another storming the capital moment had Kamala won, now they're free to do as they please. They feel in charge, and they want attention.

[mucholderthandirt]

29. Same here. Houses without Trump signs suddenly have tons. Also, Mark Robinson ones, and he lost.

[LymphocyteLover]

50. Makes sense. I have a neighbor who had a trump sign up all election season and still hasn't taken it down.

It's super obnoxious. Really annoys my wife.

[Freddie]

53. Lots of idiots around here kept their t**** signs up

But not for the R local or Congress candidates. They only brag about supporting their cult leader.

[Farmer-Rick]

11. Just wait until they cut off

His social security and military pension. They may not do it this year but as the country falls further and further into debt and dysfunction.....(do they really think the filthy-rich will still give the country loans as it falls apart?)

Most all government, federal and state pensions and retirements will go away to pay the debt for all the tax give aways to the filthy-rich. By Trump's 4th year, it will be like the Great Depression.

[GoodRaisin]

30. Or perhaps his Medicaid or ACA subsidy

which they will go after as soon as Trump takes office, as Medicaid will be targeted to pay for the first tax cuts for the rich. Or his childcare tax credits, or his kid’s school lunch. Or him…

[Aussie105]

12. Someone should interview lots of MAGAts.

And ask them what they expect the Trump administration to do for the economy, the world and themselves personally.

Then interview them again in 18 months' time - just to see how their wishes went.

[k55f5r]

33. They could just go to any diner in the Midwest.

It'd be just like primary season.

[LymphocyteLover]

49. they did that in 2017-2020. The problem is the GOP base is a bunch of reprogrammable meatpuppets who are endlessly

malleable by FoxNews

[NBachers]

13. Every goddamn one of them deserves this and more.

[allegorical oracle]

60. Agree, but when MAGA voters shoot themselves in the foot, the bullets ricochet and

we get hurt, too.

[Historic NY]

15. I put my neighbor on total ignore

They showed their true colors with huge Trump banners etc. It not like they even interact with others on the street either.

[bdamomma]

16. Those

who voted for the felon will shockingly realize that they will not be immune to the wrath that will fall upon others and themselves for being so ignorant and misinformed.

[Linda ladeewolf]

17. I have

Two neighbors, both on disability. They have some money, but if they lose their disability, they will be in the boat with some of the rest of us. Both are maga. Both have serious physical problems and I suspect both are on ACA. I wonder how loud they’ll scream if they lose any of it.

[calimary]

41. And it will be interesting to hear how they'll blame that on Democrats.

I guess they think that voting for the Orange Germ somehow endows them with a cloak of magical immunity.

IT. DOES. NOT!!!

[LetMyPeopleVote]

21. People who voted for trump will be surprised

Link to tweet

[czarjak]

31. Getting people to believe BS.

It's how propaganda works.

[GP6971]

24. No it's not. And who are you?

[oldmanlynn]

25. Its 100 percent disinformation by Republicans and Russia

They are non stop on their crazy as messages but they are non stop. We dont counter it as much as we should. Dems need a new strategy in this world of high tech marketing information. They have to counter the non stop bull chit. We have to.

Sounds like your neighbor finally did as well

[bluesbassman]

34. I was in NYC over the weekend, and was walking down Fifth Ave window shopping.

A street hawker approached me with some brochure, I didn’t even notice what it was about because as he approached I saw he had red MAGA hat on and I just raised my hand slightly and said “not interested”. Now this was a pretty good sized Black guy, about 6’2”, 240, and as I passed him he shouts at me “Hey! you ain’t got no time for the n#*%%a?” I stopped and said just loud enough that those around us could hear me too, “That has nothing to do with anything, that hat you’re wearing though tells me I don’t want anything to do with what you’re selling”. As he stood there kinda blinking at me I just turned around and kept walking.

[Sympthsical]

35. I know which neighbor I'd avoid

[soandso]

48. I don't like where this is going

It wasn't the Trumper neighbor who caused a scene. According to the OP, he just went into his house when the other neighbor went off. In this case, "fuck around" indicates who someone voted for and nothing else and that's not okay. The situation could easily be reversed with the Harris voter being accused of "fucking around" for simply voting for their preferred candidate. Bad idea to support this.

[Sympthsical]

52. Assuming the veracity

And I'm always skeptical of these kinds of tales that comport so perfectly with the political sentiment currently trending, I'm trying to divine how the behavior described should be applauded in any way.

If one of my neighbors was raving outside for half an hour, I would not be interacting with that neighbor ever again. Or at least not until I'd heard they were checked out by a mental health professional. (In my neighborhood, cops would've been called easily 10 mins in). And if I had kids, forget it. They'd not be allowed near this person. Anyone who manages that is wrestling with stability at best. What else might that person find themselves willing to do if they're already at that point?

But this is why I'm always skeptical. People do not behave this way generally. It sounds more like how people think other people in the world might behave, so there's some, uh, narrative building. Or maybe some augmentation for juiciness.

But, as you said, the FA and the FO are not what is surmised here. I think the ranter just FA'd and he's going to FO just how many normies are about to politely avoid him. Again, assuming this is true. Real people don't typically act like Twitter, which is why they're so hard to write for sometimes. If there was a cashier watching from the curb while smiling knowingly and giving a secret thumbs up, we could put a bow on this one.

[soandso]

54. Yes, it could be exaggeration

Hopefully, because if people are this unhinged and full of rage then what's next - shooting their neighbor because of who they voted for?

[CaptainTruth]

63. Yes, this person behaved exactly that way.

The words I posted in quotes are exactly the words he said with the exception that "effing" was "fucking."

I stood there & heard it clearly with my own ears. Do not accuse me of lying.

[Sympthsical]

64. I hope they get the help they need then

Because that behavior is extremely concerning.

[LilyBelle]

37. MAGA hiding

A few houses around here quickly removed their Felon/Hillbilly yard signs and those ridiculous big truck flags after the election. I almost think they wanted him to lose so they could stay angry and aggrieved without the responsibility. They were a-holes who illegally blocked roads with truck parades. I wonder what would happen if they tried that now. This is a blue area.

[Roc2020]

38. T voters really think

this was just another election and now it's back to business as usual. No. They don't understand just how angry and infuriated Harris voters are. Because they can't see the anger in an action so apparent as storming the capital. But they will face that anger in a myriad of other ways over the next four years. Your neighbor is just one example.

[soandso]

51. In what other ways?

If you're talking about not associating that's sensible. If you're talking about what the OP described, then what other ways along those lines? Egging the neighbor's house, flattening their tires, punching them out?

[Roc2020]

55. unfortunately ways that

are not violent but not legal either. one example, Jobs. I really think in a job interview in some cases, if the person doing the interview is a harris supporter if the applicant is maga and the interviewer finds out, they may not get that job. overall business. I think some harris voters are going to try and find out if whatever service they want if that company donated to maga etc. I really think some harris supporters are so angry they are going to use their money as revenge. And frankly the richest people in the country are harris voters. I myself am seriously thinking about leaving sams and go to costco. I may be overthinking it, but I think harris voters are that angry.

[soandso]

62. I could see that happening

[XanaDUer2]

42. They need to self isolate

Until theyre deported or lose their social security

[Nigrum Cattus]

44. Cry wolf

They wore out their welcome. Soon no one will tolerate anymore
of their BS. Wait until the Independents start feeling the regret of
their votes. Only the red hats will go along. Cry wolf in here & now.

[Dave Id]

45. It's a cult!

As a general rule, my understanding is those in a cult don't think they're in a cult. Cult rule 1.0, deny the cult you are accused of being in exists so obviously you are not in one.

[SWBTATTReg]

46. The anger in this Country is so thick, you can cut it w/ a knife. And, I'll guarantee you that these MAGA/maggot

thugs know this very well by now. I will no longer treat this a&&wipes w/ any decency for that went out the door when they voted for this prick who will doom (or try to) this Country.

[SWBTATTReg]

47. Good for your neighbor and you, for standing by him while he was telling maggot neighbor off.

[Fiddlelady11]

56. The other grandmother to my grandsons

Is an immigrant from Honduras. She is very concerned about money and brags to me how much her daughter makes working in radar at the Atlanta airport. She thinks black people are ugly. People who don’t pay back their student loans are lazy. She is a huge tRump supporter and has major influence on my grandsons. She has no understanding of how the government works and thinks tRump will lower prices. My question is why did she come to my country to install a dictator? She could have stayed in Honduras and not help to end Democracy here!

[orleans]

67. ask her.

maybe sitting at the table eating thanksgiving dinner would be a good time to ask her

[pattyloutwo]

57. Not effective

Not winning hearts or minds, sounds Maga-like to me

[malaise]

66. Love it

Rec😀

[orleans]

68. i wonder what the maga did/said to trigger other neighbor

sounds like maga might be a bit of a racist (gasp!) and was possibly making a shit eating comment or two.
(just guessing based on your first quote of the other)

i get it. people are pissed and resentful of those douchebags

btw, i love your last line!
