Encounter with a Trump humper [View all]

Yesterday, I had to run up to the hardware store to grab something for a kitchen project I had to complete and I was pretty frustrated with the whole project at that point. As I was walking up to the front door, a tiny old man began talking to me as he was walking into the store. He pointed out that two guys working on the front of the building were attaching something because of Trump.
I had no idea what he was talking about but he seemed to be praising/crediting Trump for some reason. I was already in a bad mood from the kitchen project and I literally snapped at this guy. I won't tell you what I said to him because it wasn't kind or necessary but I will tell you that in that moment I realized that I am just done with these morons. I don't have any shits left to give. After snapping at him, I just kept walking like anything he had to say was so irrevant that I wouldn't even slow my stride to even bother conversing with him. It didn't feel good saying what I said, but at the same time I don't regret my response. We live in confusing times.
