My latest encounter with a magat happened in my supermarket today.

This is a somewhat bluer area of fundieville, so we do not see too many of them overtly displaying their allegiance. I was wearing my "ROEvember" sweatshirt, and my "I voted" sticker. A guy about my age passed me, glaring at me. Then I saw his t-shirt, "I am voting for the convicted felon 2024" superimposed over an American flag. Three more times I saw him in different aisles of the store, glaring at me. Each time, as he passed, I muttered, "fucking idiot" and went on. As I was leaving the store, he crossed in front of me again. Thia time, I smiled and said, "have a perfectly lousy day", and walked out.

I would not be surprised if he is the person who owns the huge pick-up truck covered with TRAITOR** /magat stickers, that I see occasionally in one of the handicap spots. As I said, we are a bit bluer, few openly-admitted cultists.

Must have been disconcerting to be in such close proximity to a magat.

autonomic function.

Being in such close proximity tends to give me a headache. I think this magat idiot is related to the one I saw last week outside a Lowe's (different part if town, much redder!)
. That one had on a t-shirt that read "grazed, but not fazed". It wasn't until I saw the 2024 as I passed him that I realized what it meant.

That level of stupidity and cultish behaviour should be extremely painful.
