In reply to the discussion: That LIE about Joe Biden. What was said to me and what I have decided to do. [View all]CTyankee
(68,235 posts)59. It is obvious that this person has been "instructed" to strategies that throw off the rape charges
against Trump before they even get started. Not as an employee of the store, but on his own, as a repuke (i guess, who else would it be?).

Your example is a good one. A genealogy group, fer chrissake! Your dad has been inculcated with lies and there might be a racist tone there (superior white race shit).

I would report it to the top level, but I would not confront the clerk.

Any of 3 actions would be fine (your idea, shop elsewhere, or report him anyway)

Alas, it is really not an option for me. Stop and Shop is our only option left.

100% waste of time dealing with a trumper, better use of effort in getting people registered to vote

I should not have even engaged with him. I should have gone to the manager immediately.

When a man brings up rape to a woman, in any context, it's about power and control over them
