I was at a truck stop tonight! I went to get something to eat and bring back out to my truck. While was waiting for my food with my mask on, a man hollered masks dont work and we should be wearing them. I ignored him the 1st time he said it, but the 2nd? Well! I said that it was his right not to wear one, but I didnt criticize him for not wearing one. He snapped back with I suppose youre against Trump too! I responded YEP & lock him up too! My food was ready and I left he was laughing with somebody about me. I looked at him then I said by the way, mask do work, I have all my shots and Im one of the lucky ones that has yet to get COVID and walked out the door as he was mumbling under breath!
Anymore, I just cant help but say it! If you choose to die because youre to ignorant of facts? Well, its on you!

(3,059 posts)And this is what we ALL need to do. Before he decided "I don't want to be associated with these people anymore" 1992, my late husband had been a life long Republican, of the Eisenhower stripe. He always told me Democrats tendency towards uderstanding everyone has a right to their opinions was fine, but the "You may have a point there" attitude would be our downfall.
Screw that...they DON'T have a point there, and we need to call it out whenever we can. We're not talking socio-political beliefs...we're dealing with public health, their "beliefs" are killing people, and they need to be called out. If they could contain the spread of this thing to each other, I seriously wouldn't give a shit. Let 'em kill each other, I'm done caring.
Just as a side note, one of my favorite games when one of them starts going off on Antifa is to first of all, point out that it doesn't exist as an organization, but then to also ask them exactly what is wrong with being anti-fascist. I mean the "Greatest Generation" fought an entire war against it. And won.
The Stupid. It burns.

(5,436 posts)It's ok to be stupid.
It's ok to be legitimized by a former White House resident.
It's ok to be encouraged by your friends to be stupid.
Just remember stupid has built-in rewards.
Some of them not so nice.
And you will be facing some of those consequences alone. The mangled apricot hellbeast from yesteryear and your friends won't help.
Say hello to Meat Loaf if you get to meet him.
In the meantime, while you are waiting for those consequences of stupid, try not to drag others down with you.
OK stupid? There's a good little doofus, bless your little not-knowing hearts and cesspool brains!

Yeah, masks work. That's why hospitals use them. Vaccines work too. That's why vaccinated are less likely to need hospitalization or die.

(81,500 posts)A lot of the time they aren't expecting pushback. They're used to just yelling and venting and owning the floor and acting out/up with no consequences. They're used to thinking of us and our side as nothing but pushovers. So WHEN we DO push back, they're probably not going to be well-prepared and won't know how to handle it. Often they won't even have a comeback because they've never considered that they'd need one.
