Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsJust had an encounter with a MAGAt in grocery store parking lot.
Husband and I stopped at grocery store after our weekly yoga class.
We took my car, which is festooned with stickers of a feminist and gay rights sort.
My personal favorite is: I'm too clumsy to be around fragile masculinity.
Anyway, we come out o the store to see a guy closely examining my stickers.
My husband says, as we get close, "See any you like?"
The guy backs away and says, "No."
He has a really sour look on his face.
He pauses and then says, "They are illogical," as he walks away.
I said, "Sure buddy," and laughed.
He passed us on the way out of the parking lot.
My husband gave him a cheery wave as he sneered at us.
They hate that we exist.
Oh well......

(27,863 posts)Of course, he doesn't understand Logic well enough to apply it to his own thinking, or he wouldn't be a MAGAt. To him, the word probably just means "confusing"---and that's his permanent state.

(10,770 posts)He probably got it from there.
I am taking bets as to whether or not he knows what it means, other than by watching Nimoy use it.

(10,770 posts)The original did not actually show Sulu being 'gay', so those loons could allow it because he was both 'closeted' (and thus, 'behaving himself'), and following the old 'don't ask, don't tell' philosophy.
In the reboot, he literally walks up and kisses another man. I always felt that 'those' Star Trek fans had their heads explode when that happened.
Remember, in the original, Kirk's modus operandi was very analogous to the United States attitude at the time. The whole 'we know what is best for you simple people' behavior is very appealing to those who agree with this misguided philosophy. And, Kirk was one of the most egregious perpetrators of this thought process. He was always sticking his nose into other cultures and judging them against our own.

Guy had a license plate that read "F R D M F N" and my mom thought it was "Fordham fan", which would have made sense, but the guy's like "No, it means freedom fan". And we were like "Oh...... oh."
This man and his fans have legitimately ruined patriotic imagery.

(29,554 posts)Such free-floating anger seems kinda illogical to me. You really must govern your passions. They will be your undoing.

(1,578 posts)You weren't disrespectful, and you and your husband stood up for your beliefs with a smile and a wave.
Thank you for sharing your story!

(41,561 posts)and this old man by himself pulls up his truck right in front of the entrance, and angles his vehicle where anybody driving or walking by will notice his huge Trump magnet on the side of his vehicle. A huge picture of Trump's mug shot with the words Making America Great Again. This stupid old man was taking up two handicap parking spots. My wife says, don't say anything to him as we walked by. We were inside the store for almost an hour. When we walked back outside that old man was still sitting in his vehicle, and smoking a cigarette.
Seriously, this dude is suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome. WTF would make someone go to the expense to have a huge magnet sticker made up, just to park in a Walmart parking lot? These fucking people are nuts.

It may make one's face appear even MORE sour,
when they realize they've been duped,
but it is impossible for them to admit it.
