Things I learned about Republicans at the County Fair... [View all]

I worked two shifts at a County Fair in Minnesota last night and this afternoon. It’s a really red county, so running a Democratic booth takes a bit of courage. I’ve worked before, and it’s usually pretty quiet. This year the A$$holes were out in full force. They are loud, they have no concept of personal space, and reek of superiority. I was called a murderer, told that I was going hell. One guy walked in and wanted to know if we had ever held a two day old baby, then went on a rant about after birth abortion🙀. Another crazy eyed lady informed us that Joe Biden had dementia and that he had taken millions of dollars from China, and how could we support Kamala because she must know about it.
Today, a man came in raving about abortion, I asked him if he thought abortion was murder, he agreed, and then I asked if he thought we needed laws to make sure no more children were murdered, and he agreed, I then said he must be in favor of gun control to prevent murder of school kids. Honest to god, he said who is killing school kids? I brought up Sandy Hook and Uvalde….he said that was fake news. He started walking away and told me that God would judge me and send me to hell. I said, “I’ll see you there.” The last guy came marching in with his son, about 13 or 14, and again, he picked the smallest woman there and got in her face and wanted her to name one thing that the Biden - Harris administration had done that was good. She replied that just recently Biden has negotiated to lower drug prices for 10 Drugs. They both laughed and said those drugs were just for old people and didn’t amount to squat. Again he asked and the gal said I just told you. He was getting agitated and I finally got up and stepped in between him and the gal and got real close to him. I’m 6’6, and towered over him. He said “Back off, I’m not intimidated by you, I’m ex military. You touch me, you’re dead.” I replied, Thank you for your service. Now get the hell out of here”. He replied, “ I’m exercising my First Ammendment right of speech”. I replied, And I’m expressing my right to tell you to take your bullshit somewhere else” He finally left, grumbling.
These people are living in a different reality. Brainwashed…cult…We talked afterward about why these people think they have the gravitas to confront like they do. Perhaps they see the walls closing in and fear is driving this behavior. I know this got long, had to vent!
