MAGA Christmas Party Encounter.

[kairos12]

Meeting MAGA and having words with them is pretty rare for me. Not my traveling circle. So, I attended at holiday party where I knew almost no one except for my few family members. I stumbled upon a conversation whereupon I heard, "California is being ruined by all those shoplifters with no respect for the law."

I jumped right into the deep end. I said I worry more about price gouging, merged up grocery conglomerates, hospitals that upcharge $100 for a 3 cent bandaid, and gas companies that use a trashcan fire to say "the refinery is down" to raise your gas prices.

Now, keep in mind, I have all the appearance of MAGA. Old, short haired white guy. From my comments I could see the sand had been thrown into their gearbox. I moved on.

Merry Christmas MAGA. Oh, and fuck you very much.

[Think. Again.]

1. Well done.

[Emile]

2. K & R

[Evolve Dammit]

3. Well said and appreciated

[SocialDemocrat61]

4. It's no Die Hard

but an entertaining story 😉

[kairos12]

5. I'm afraid this crowd

is running low on sophisticated "Hans" type characters.

Also, I'm no Bruce Willis.

[GB_RN]

10. "Yippee Ki-yay, Motherf***r!"

“Welcome to the party, pal!”

It’s not Christmas until Hans Gruber has been tossed from the top of the Nakatomi building. 😁

Did you know there’s a Die Hard advent calendar? There are a couple different versions. The “deluxe” one has the FBI helicopter and the top of the building exploding. 😂

[kairos12]

11. I have that calendar. I use it every year.

Mine just has the falling Hans.

[GB_RN]

14. I've Thought About It...

For the fun factor. Although, I’ve never pulled the trigger, so to speak.😁

[LymphocyteLover]

6. I can tell MAGAts nowadays by how much they mindlessly disparage California

[travelingthrulife]

13. They are so jealous. My MAGA brother's first response after this election

was to say with glee, "Well you still have California", meaning it was the only place liberalism survived.

I still hear the old "land of fruits and nuts" canard from these fools.

[Aristus]

7. Well done!

[tinymontgomery]

8. A few days ago I was on the bike at the gym

I'm in my 60's, retired navy and I'm at the gym on the bike and next to me is a vet from the Korean War. Some other old guy (about 10 yrs older then me) comes over to the two of us, he knows the other guy and said he had a little off color joke for us. He tells it, it wasn't funny and I said I'm not a trumper. He looked at me and said, "I thought you wouldn't mind since you had been in the service", I had a old navy pt shirt on, I looked at him and said that all service members are not trumpers or republicans. He stayed about another minute then walked away. I doubt if those two guys will approach me again and that will be a good thing.

[kairos12]

9. Good on you for that.

Sometimes I have a hat that identifies me as an Airborne Ranger. If I throw out a anti-trump comment in the world it rocks their world and I laugh my ass off.

Have a great holiday.

Rangers Lead the Way.

[travelingthrulife]

15. I wish every sane military person would speak up to these MAGAS.

Same thing for the sane Christians. Where is their pushback against his? They are making your military service and/or your belief system into a mockery.

[tinymontgomery]

24. I used to stay quiet but now I just tell I don't support

their hero.

[aggiesal]

22. I would have also asked, ...

"Why would you support a person that doesn't give 2 $h1t$ about the military or its soldiers?"

Wait when they find out that Project 2025 pretty much eliminates the VA system.

[Bluetus]

12. Those are awesome examples , and just the right formula.

Not an extended, in-depth debate, but a flurry of undeniable sins. The Gish Gallop.

Maybe we should compile s list of pithy one-liners like that that everyone can memorize for just the right moment.

[Ohioboy]

23. Hey, why not prepare some one liner truth bombs to throw

They have been fed a lot of BS one liners. We should counter them with the truth.

[paulkienitz]

16. I look like that too, and so did my dad, who liked to wear a red hat.

He thought it was funny that he looked MAGA from a distance. I wouldn't find that funny. My partner sure doesn't — she even made me stop wearing the red swim trunks I got in Hawaii.

[PennRalphie]

17. You really told them.

Around here, Western PA, swing state, I never run into people randomly talking politics. It must be different here.

[Dem4life1234]

20. I never run into them either

Random strangers who talk politics? People who were trained better know you don't air politics among strangers.

Maybe I walk around with a "don't fuck with me" facial expression and people know better than to start BS with me.

[wnylib]

27. I run into it here in western NY. I live in a small city, in

a deep red, rural area.

People in convenience stores, grocery stores, etc. feel free to bring up their MAGA support while standing in line at a check out counter, or to slip a RW comment into any conversation.

[Dem4life1234]

33. I couldn't do it

I couldn't live among the willfully ignorant rural hillbillies. Just nope. I will take city life over that shit, where people mind theirs.

[wnylib]

34. It is a city, just not a large one.

I am not in a financial position to move or I would.

[AllaN01Bear]

18. ""

more felgercarb nonsense.

[Dem4life1234]

19. They bitch about law and order

When their dumbasses elected a whole thieving grifting rapist felon.

That's why I don't have any respect for those hypocritical jackasses.

[The Wizard]

28. "Law and order"

is Republican code for keep the brown down.

[Dem4life1234]

31. Facts!

In their view, is ok doing the crime when it's certain groups doing it...when it's rich white males.

They can't even see their hypocrisy.

Imagine Obama doing half the shit that clown did.

[Ohioboy]

21. I liked the way you threw the sand and moved on

That way they can stand there and think about it.

My way of throwing the sand and moving on is to mention the trillions Trump added to the national debt.

[usonian]

25. I know this is hard to promounce, but, a nice reply to anything they say

39. Eventually once I learned the cyrillic alphabet I could read & pronounce it....

Took Russian in 9th grade - ?1966/7.

I thought I could speak to my dad. English was his first language, but he spoke to his dad in Ukrainian.Somehow I knew the languages were pretty similar.

Didn't know about (probably hidden?) bad blood between ?most Ukrainians, and Soviet (Russian) Rusaians back then.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

26. And then there's "People are too lazy to work."

Try thinking about all-time record low unemployment rates, and then go and take of those jobs yourself.

[ThePartyThatListens]

29. Okay, okay...

[stollen]

30. RW media is focused on CA

If shock/awe hits that state, there aren't any red folks that will care despite CA raning #4 as a country for its economy.

[wryter2000]

36. There are lots of red people in CA

There are just more Dems.

Ronald Reagan came from CA. So, does Kevin McCarthy.

[Arazi]

32. I've been reliably informed here that MAGAt encounters don't happen

Especially at party gatherings…

[wryter2000]

35. How could shoplifting ruin a huge state like CA?

These people are stupid.

[LilElf70]

37. These fools will soon find out

they made a huge mistake. He constantly runs his con man mouth, saying anything to boost is ill conceived ego. He has no idea where he's going, and wants to get there as soon as possible. He is purposely putting people in charge that have no idea on what to do. His entire administration will fail and potentially take this country to a place it has never seen. He's just now realizing he can't fix inflation, which counters his claim while running for the election. Yet one more lie. And his supporters say nothing. No accountability again. Let's buy Canada. Lets buy Greenland, Let's take control if the Panama canal. What idiotic bullshit is going to come out of his mouth next.

So yeah, I agree, MAGATS, fuck you very much.

That is all.

[ZonkerHarris]

38. Just piss in their punch bowl (metaphorically) and move on.

best tactic.
