Met our new neighbor.

[Turbineguy]

COVID came up. The new expression for that is the "Biden Disease". What is it with trump humpers that you have to know what they are within 10 seconds?

[ZonkerHarris]

1. never speak with that idiot again

[Bettie]

2. Good luck

Living surrounded by them can be difficult...I'm sorry.

Also: how is it "Biden's" disease? He wasn't even president when it fucking happened.

[FoxNewsSucks]

4. I know, that was my first thought

I often called it the "tRump Plague". I wish that would have caught on

[KS Toronado]

20. I like that......"tRump Plague"

I'll start using it, see if it gets any traction.

[lastlib]

27. "tRump plague" is a redundancy. I called it the "tRumpvirus".

Covid was a virus within a plague.

[HuskyOffset]

18. It's been in the news recently that Biden has covid-19

Possibly that is what he is referring to? Granted, I would word it differently: "Oh, that's that thing that Biden had?". Still, it might be better to allow for the possibility that he wasn't trying to shit on Biden, small as though that possibility is.

[badhair77]

3. My sympathy that you didn't do better in the new neighbor lottery.

Deplorable proud.

[maxsolomon]

5. they're trying to see if you're on team insurrection.

i hope you reminded him who was Prezdint when the plague started.

[Beachnutt]

6. He let you know where he stood,

You should have stood your ground also and let him know you are a PROUD Democrat and support President Biden 100%
I always let em know where I stand...
screw em !!

[Butterflylady]

7. Be nice because he might not be around long. Covid isn't done yet.

Probably an anti-vaxxer too so don't get real close.

[sop]

8. Blurting out preposterous ideas and offensive words bas become the Trump humpers' credo.

It's a form of political tourette syndrome.

[SharonClark]

9. There is no civility with the trumpers.

[rubbersole]

14. They are proud of their ignorance.

Intelligent people were always respected and looked up to when we were growing up. These idiots are so afraid of smart people that the only way they know how to react to them is to lash out. It also shows how little they respect themselves. Don't see this changing anytime soon.

[Warpy]

10. It's a cult. Those demand consensus

and if you don't agree with them, you need to be avoided. This is probably a good thing.

Did you ask where they'd heard a stupid thing like that?

[barbtries]

11. wow, they have very short memories

when it suits them. how did you respond??

ETA I think if I was in that situation and found the guts to do it, I'd just ask if they're QAnon or what

[Beachnutt]

12. You should have started coughing

close to him and said, sorry I tested positive this morning for covid...Sure glad I'm double vaxxed.

[multigraincracker]

13. I've used this...

You know what I like about Biden. When they say what, I've said "I've never seen his wife naked".

[live love laugh]

15. Sounds nice

[Marthe48]

16. Gee 21 people I knew died while traitor was in office

I knew or friends of friends. Since President Biden entered office, 1. And she was a sister of a traitor humper. I think they misnamed the plague their party allowed to happen.

[pidge]

21. There was no vaccine until Dec. 2020.....deaths went down after that.

[Marthe48]

26. It started when traitor and his henchmen were in power

It isn't Biden's disease. That is my point.

[wnylib]

39. Even before the vaccine, it was the Trumpists

who refused to wear masks and practice social distancing. Some deliberately caught it and spread it because they believed that they could become immune and spread immunity. Instead, they spread death and disabilities from long covid.

[Tetrachloride]

23. I keep a death list also, usually not Covid

Considering how few people i know, its a significant number. 2 in the past 6 weeks. The stories are sometimes pretty bad.

[Marthe48]

24. Sorry for your losses

My universe is shrinking even without Covid. Added 4 people this summer.

[Tetrachloride]

25. Without President Biden, Speaker Pelosi, DU and my movie library, i would be

a lot closer to 6 feet under.

I am a lot more sorry for the losses of relatives in my friends’ families than my own.

Once in a while, i have luck in improving their lives or those of DU members.

[Marthe48]

29. Good for you!

Keep up your efforts. Makes things worthwhile

[PJMcK]

17. Here's what I would've done

I'd have looked them dead in the eye and said, "When he was president, Trump got Covid. That was years before President Biden took office. In fact, just the other day, Trump stated that Covid was the "China Virus." Are you really contradicting Donald Trump?!"

Then I would have politely wished them well in their new home and walked away never to speak with them again.

Life is too short and I don't have time for idiots.

To answer your question, Trump Humpers™ can't help but expose themselves in every conversation and encounter. You see the Trump flags and bumper stickers and other paraphernalia. These people are extremists and exhibitionists. They cannot help but worship their graven idol. They are pathetic.

You know, I was raised to be polite in the company of other people. Generally, religion, sex and politics were considered subjects best not discussed as those issues tend to create conflicts. Years later, when I was learning the great sport of golf, those lessons served me well. But today, these yahoos ask you who you voted for and which church you belong to before they even know your name!

I believe our society is at a critical impasse and I truly cannot fathom how things will develop.

[JohnnyRingo]

19. There's something I've saying to such people.

It does no good to call them the idiots they are, so I trick them into thinking we might see eye to eye on Trump.

I say "you have to admit Joe Biden did one good thing". "When Trump was in office he redesigned AF One to look like his own corporate jet". "Biden just nixed that plan and went with the traditional paint job it's had for decades, so now future presidents can travel abroad with their dignity and respect".

They have to think about that for a minute.

[samnsara]

37. if i was a guy i would just elbow him in the ribs and wink like cousin Eddie..

...and say gross stuff like "heeey (wink wink) what you think of those nekked pictures of melania.. shes got some T***ts dont she?" wink wink". Of course you have to be holding a beer whilst doing this.

[JohnnyRingo]

41. hahaha

That's a good one. Give them time to realize they've been had.

[Tetrachloride]

22. Challenge them on science: If you prove you know more biology

than me, i will pay my health insurance to you.

[calimary]

28. Hey, that's a GOOD thing!

They’re not gonna be able to waste your time that way.

[Marthe48]

30. Don't loan them any tools

n/t

[Bayard]

31. We have a neighbor like that

The only time we ever see him (and glad of it), is when we start a new project and he wants to be nosy. Yeah, they start in on this crap right away. Last time, I listened as long as I could take it, then said--where did you hear that crap?! Fox News. I said something to the effect of what lying idiots they are, and he rode off into the sunset on his mower.

Went to a new chiropractor last week. I really needed to be worked on, so had to bite my tongue like crazy at the signs this guy had posted all over his office, including on the door, denigrating Biden and Dems. This is a small town, and quite red, but there are a few Dems around. Why in the world, would you air your craziness in public?

[Turbineguy]

33. In 2000, ten years after we came to this neighborhood

there were 4 Democratic families and 184 Republican. Now it's over 60% Democratic. Everybody is nice and usually very polite. There are very little politics. There were never any Trump signs in yards. There's really no advantage to getting in somebody's face. There are a lot of Academics and Professionals in the neighborhood. People want to live in a nice house and get along for the most part.

So I didn't come back with any snappy one-liners or anything, I just did not respond positively to his dig.

[GoCubsGo]

32. My condolences.

It sucks having neighbors like that. If the subject of COVID comes up again, please remind them that it came here---and took hold under Trump's watch. "Trump's Disease" is FAR more accurate a name for it.

[Gaugamela]

34. My daughter calls it MAGA cooties. Trump ignored it and they refused to

get vaccinated or wear masks.

[samnsara]

35. they have NO social boundaries at all. I have noticed this a lot...

......they may as well pick their nose in front of you.

[onetexan]

36. i steer clear of the maga neighbors

[Initech]

38. Just show them r/HermanCainAwards.

[Emile]

40. I am surrounded by them out here in the

Indiana countryside. Everyone of my neighbors avoid talking politics with me, because I let them know years ago where I stood.
