The further adventures of Ned Low, anti-fascist...

[Ned Low]

... some may remember my recounting of my experience in the doctor's waiting room last week and my subsequent awarding to myself a medal to commemorate it as well as other things in my life. I noted barbtries had already awarded herself a medal with expectations of having it awarded to her again every year. This forced me to initiate a monthly awarding of my medal so as to have 12 times the honor as hers.
Anyway, it happened again. While standing in line at Kroger, long lines with only two registers operating, go figure, I noticed a man two lanes over wearing a Trump hat. He looked in my direction, perhaps because while approaching the lane I had commented in louder than my indoor voice about Trump jacking up all of the grocery prices. I hadn't seen the Trump humper yet. When he looked at me I said "You wore your politics to the store." He nodded and I continued, "I would be embarrassed to tell the world I support a pedophile!" He did a slight shoulder shrug. I went on, "and a 34 time felon, and a rapist. He acted like a three-year-old when they gave him that made up medal!" He did the same shrug to each of my points. My wife was beside me saying, "Babe!" With each of my points. Nothing more transpired though my wife told me later that those around us had taken note with alarm. Maybe they did but I try to read bystander reactions when I do these things and I hadn't seen what she described. Doesn't mean it didn't happen though. Trumpistas are like the supporting characters in The Twilight Zone episode It's a Good Life. Whatever it is that Billy Mumy does they tell him it's the best thing that could possibly have happened.

1. sure glad I'm not shopping with (or at the same time) as you

sorry for your wife.
hope you feel better soon

2. I'd have shaken your hand.

Trumpists deserve what they get. Keep at it.

Someone once said , “silence is complicity..”

[stopdiggin]

5. believe you might be replying to the wrong post

But if you want to shake my hand that's fine. I dig civility and decent behavior.

[Ned Low]

3. I've chosen my side as did the Trump humper wearing the merch...

... the question is, since you have declined to choose a side why do you come on a site like this?

[stopdiggin]

4. I am, most generally, comfortable with my choices - and my ethics ...

Also with my behavior in public venues .....

But thanks anyway. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

6. Right...

... being polite is what got us this presidency!

7. you do you, my friend

As long as it's completely out of earshot (and preferably visual as well) of me.
(with apologies for all the people that leaves in the lurch. )

Isn't it funny how all the 'Karens' (and other variety of asshats out there) - are all found on the 'other' side of the political spectrum .. ?

9. you thought your post (and actions described)?

were going to meet with universal plaudits .. ?

Gosh, I'm sorry ....

[Ned Low]

10. I knew they wouldn't...

... but I also didn't think I would run into someone so lacking in their personal life that defending MAGATS would be their entertainment for the evening! Take your disruptions elsewhere! Was that you wearing a Trump hat at Kroger this morning?

[stopdiggin]

12. defending MAGAts .. ? Where on earth did you derive that interpretation?

We're talking about someone (not the MAGA person by the way) that is making a public scene in grocery store - against a perfect stranger, not even in close proximity - who did not respond in any way to the provocation presented - and whose sin consisted of wearing the wrong article of clothing ....

Who is out of line ... ?

Your wife is telling you to hush up. You should probably listen to her more often.

15. the rationale of Karens and loudmouths throughout the land .. -(nt)-

here's your participation ribbon.

[Ned Low]

16. You're just striving for peace in our time...

... since most maga supporters won't know the reference look up Neville Chamberlain. You should also look into moving out of your mom's basement.

[stopdiggin]

17. I'm striving for a trip to the grocery store, without some loudmouth making that a misery

for myself and all those in earshot.
while making himself out to be some variety of hero.

but thanks !

11. lol...

14. Sounds serious

Good luck
