I Went Grocery Shopping Today Looking For A Fight

The grocery store is in an area that is 75 - 25 Magat.

I got the perfect chance, I needed eggs and I buy organic. A nice lady was looking over the eggs so I cozied over, picked up 2 dozen eggs, they were $6.47. I say, oh dear, the store still has the Biden prices on these eggs. She looks at me and says, "smart ass." Boom, I got one.

I did the same thing at the check out but I think the cashier was not a Magat, and a buddy of mine came up right behind me so we had a laugh about the Biden price of eggs.

I am going to continue to harass Magats every chance I get. I am going to let them know how Trump is fucking them over. Will it do any good, make a difference, I don't give a fuck, it makes me feel better.

I was shopping for 2 people and I spent close to 300 dollars, yeah but I have 90 cents off a gallon of gas that is sitting at $3.49/gal.

Still, I'm with you I will be taking every opportunity to act out in public in these same ways. I'm already planning on coughing the word 'fascist' every time I'm near people in IQ47 regalia, just hasn't happened yet.

My point is that particular comment could also be taken the other way from its intent, i.e. one could think you're a wingnut wrongly blaming Biden for the price of eggs (it was never his fault they were expensive, then or now). Anyways, it doesn't matter, was just an aside. I want to hear about MORE of this kind of thing generally

I shall be taking this up, considering the grocery store will be my only buying opportunity for the next 4 years.

And people will be shopping in that store with an AK strapped across their back.

and I'm 77 years old, I don't give a shit. I tried debating with them during Trump's 1st term but I soon learned that debating zombies doesn't work. I do zingers now.

They are all Magats at my golf course, including the club pro. When Trump was still president and when I was in the club house, I told him how he could get more people to play in our member - guest tournament. I told him to invite a couple of celebrities, like Caitlyn Jenner. All they could do is let out a nervous laugh, fucking bigoted bastards. What is Caitlyn doing supporting Trump?

I live in a blue dot in a red state, when I read your great zinger I suddenly recalled running across a guy in the produce isle with a semi-automatic hanging off his back.

Caitlyn Jenner is rich and feels absolutely safe because of that, she wants those tax cuts for the rich. I can't see that she even gives a thought for the majority of trans folks who aren't in her tax brackett.

Soon to be 78. Every day brings more disturbing news. I’m waiting for the first negative reaction from magat relatives. Currently they are walking on very expensive eggs. I recently started taking a Spanish 1 class and have reserved a place for the Spanish 2 class in April. If I can help someone through these horrible times I will feel fulfilled.

I announced to no one in general but everyone within earshot, "Oh look at the price of eggs. I better vote for an orange moron."

Some giggles, some grinding of teeth. A good day.

not when one is young, in school, learning things, or doing anything; it will not win us anything except mean-ness.

And I'm 6-3, 270 pounds. No one is looking to pick a fight with me. If they can't take the truth, fuck 'em.

And trump has provided a VERY good reason.

Hard to blame them when I feel EXACTLY the way they do. I’m just lucky that most of the folks around me and those with whom I interact feel the same way.
