MAGAt at the cafe yesterday

[KS Toronado]

Went out for brunch yesterday wearing a new bright red T-shirt for the first time. Soon as I sat down a
lady a dozen feet away asked "What's your T-shirt say?"

So I stood up, pulled all the wrinkles out of Smokey the Bear's face "Only you can prevent Fascism".

She responded with a healthy laugh "I thought that's what it said, I love it" We talked about voting was the
way to deal with Fascists.

Then the elderly gentleman next table over looking straight at me joins in talking how we all need to vote
the Fascist Democrats out before they ruin this country.

So I asked "If you caught our Mayor molesting one of your grand-kids what would you do?"

"I'D KILL THE SON OF A BITCH WITH MY BARE HANDS!"

"If he happened to live should he lose his job as Mayor"?

He agreed, then I asked "Then why do you want a child molester as President"?

We went around and around a few more times when I mentioned the more you hear lies on Fox news
the lies become the truth.

Then the guy sitting with him with his back to me said "This is what I've been trying to tell you dad"

End of conversation with him.

1. The Fox lie machine is an accessory to every GOP/Felon-47 crime

Truly, it should be completely shut down!

[Scubamatt]

13. We need to bring back

the Fairness Doctrine; plus, if its legal for Trump to threaten to pull broadcast licenses of media if they don't pay huge sums of $ to him, could a future president threaten to pull Fox's license if it doesn't start reporting things fairly and accurately? We've lost a couple generations because of the bilge that gets spat out by that so called network - they are a clear and present danger to democracy.

[Gum Logger]

15. The Dems always seemed to be out shilled by the Repugnants

[sop]

2. I've had the same experience with MAGA cultists: they agree things are terrible, but it's "the democrat party's fault."

[Diamond_Dog]

3. "Still recovering from the Biden economy".

Yep, they will never blame the orange chum bucket and all his tariffs and funding cuts to things that are good for everyone.

[babylonsister]

4. Bravo!!

[barbtries]

5. brilliant.

his son is still with him.

did anything sink in? who knows, only time will tell. I do think epstein is haunting krasnov from the grave and that his cult is shrinking. whether enough, i don't know.

[TommieMommy]

6. 👍👍 good

[PatSeg]

7. "Fascist Democrats"???

I wonder what his definition of "fascist" is. These people throw around words like fascist, Marxist, and communists and they have no idea what the words mean; they are just parroting what they heard.

[travelingthrulife]

8. They have no idea what any of those words mean.

[PatSeg]

10. Yep, just another mindless insult

Like their dear leader, they love name-calling.

[ColoringFool]

17. Just Like "GEORGE SOROS!" Is Their All-Purpose Bogeyman, Yet...

I'd wager a lot if any MAGAt could describe/discuss Soros beyond his name.

[PatSeg]

19. Yes, it is so easy to engage these people

and get them to repeat stupid stuff. They don't put any thought into it, just like parrots (though I think some parrots might be smarter than them).

[hkp11]

28. just like when Jordan Klepper interviews these magats

when they were going to Kraskov rallies and he asks them straight forward questions and they don't know anything...
so funny to see Jordan really get over them with these questions - these magats are so so dumb...unintelligent and keep parroting FauxN

[PatSeg]

35. I love Jordan Klepper

He is a master at these interviews and people keep falling into his trap.

[WinstonSmith4740]

14. I had that conversation a couple of years ago.

The guy that used to do my hair made a comment about "fascist leftists", and I replied that was impossible. He challenged me and I just told him to look it up. He did, and never brought up the subject again.

[PatSeg]

20. That's pretty impressive

You did the man a great service; you made him think, at least for a few minutes. Hopefully after that, he started to question other things he's heard or read. Of course, if he doesn't turn off Fox News, any progress is bound to be short-lived.

[Gum Logger]

16. Its nonstop kabuki

[FakeNoose]

22. I'd like to know how we're "fascist Democrats" and "antifa" at the same time

Repukes are always giving a silly song and dance

[PatSeg]

23. Apparently

We are very diverse!

Of course just like "fascists", MAGATs have no idea what "antifa" means.

[KS Toronado]

26. Maybe it's time we retire the term "Antifa"

and replace it with "Anti-Fascist" ?

[PatSeg]

34. Oh yes, I agree entirely

The right has hijacked it and perverted its meaning just like they did "woke".

[KS Toronado]

25. One of the things the elderly gentleman said was

"You Democrats are all Fascist Communists" When I asked what Antifa stood for he had no idea and the lady
spoke up with "My dad is a WWII veteran and he fought Fascism in Europe" to which he replied
"I'm a WWII Veteran" then she tore into him giving me a break.

Heard a lot of people in this red town refer to us as Fascists and Communists for years,
it's one of FQX's talking points.

[PatSeg]

33. The whole "fascist communists" cracks me up

A huge indication that they don't have a clue what either word means, just that it is considered bad.

Joseph McCarthy would love these people.

[FakeNoose]

40. Exactly that, since "communist" means the EXACT opposite of "fascist"

Stop me if you've heard this one already.....

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

48. Yep. Sort of like calling someone

a Jewish Muslim.

[Ars Longa]

45. Wait, I thought we were Commies??

[PatSeg]

46. Ha, ha, ha!

I think that's only on Tuesdays and Thursday!

The most absurd ones are when they call Democrats "Fascist Communists" - they don't have a clue.

[Joinfortmill]

9. More of this, please

[Kid Berwyn]

11. Stand up and be heard, KS Toronado!

Same for all DUers, speak the truth!

It shuts pukes up fast.

[Bluetus]

12. The son ... how many millions of us are going through the same thing?

He must really love his father to try to save him from such hate and stupidity. I gave up trying to save my father from this years ago. Now his dementia is so advanced, it doesn't matter much.

There is much we don't know about the human brain. I wonder if all those years of cult brainwasking correlate with the strongest cases of dementia as they age. I guess my father had a steady died of 20+ years of Fox before we got him into an environment where they actively try to steer people away from the worst of mind-numbing teevee.

[hkp11]

29. now the NIH, CDC, etc all cut

those who work on dementia, Alzheimer's, brain injuries, and other scientific & medical issues no longer are there (fired) and projects closed down, etc. Kraskov & his administration took us back years from scientific & medical discoveries!!!

[FakeNoose]

18. Good job! And you have an ally in the guy's son too

[chia]

21. Bravo! 🙌

[Gimpyknee]

24. It does no good talking to these morons.

There are a hell of a lot more deplorables than Hillary imagined.

[KS Toronado]

32. How else can we convince them voting R is against their own interests?

Someone has to talk truth to these idiots. Plus they are people we know. friends, relatives, neighbors,
co-workers just to name a few. Ask them to explain how giving the super wealthy huge tax breaks
trickles down into their bank account to make them rich.

That's how Reaganomics was sold to the voting public.

[Gimpyknee]

38. Have you ever tried to talk truth these idiots?

I’ve never had any success.

[KS Toronado]

39. Isn't that what this OP was about?

Go buy Egberto Willies (a fellow DU member by the way) book ..........

"It's Worth It, How to Talk To Your Right-Wing Relatives, Friends, and Neighbors"

Loaded with good information, remember statements can make others defensive, questions work the best.
Good luck we need everybody questioning Rs how they feel about Pedophiles, Reaganomics, etc.

[malaise]

43. He's not new

Been here for years 😀

[KS Toronado]

50. Yep, longer than me

[Stacey Grove]

51. Ever try to convince a pigeon to not shit everywhere?

I dig where you're coming from, but it ain't happening.

[KS Toronado]

53. Lot of Rs are not happy with the direction this country is headed.

If you're brave enough to talk to a few you would find out first hand they are tired of Dovict's bullshit.

[1WorldHope]

27. Wonderful outcome! Thanks for being a KS tornado! 🤣

[hkp11]

30. great comebacks!

Awesome!

[yardwork]

31. MAGAt at the Cafe Yesterday would be a good band name.

[Cha]

36. Bravo, KS.. You're Sure Doing Your Job!

"Fascist ... " lol brainwashed Soup!

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

37. Too many parked in front of fox nooze all day

[patphil]

41. Burned by his own son. That's gotta hurt.

But then, listening to FOX news is it's own punishment. You can't always expect the people around you to just let your consciousness die from FOX poisoning.

[malaise]

42. Great post

Rec. Rec. Rec

[WiVoter]

44. Perfect

👍

[Initech]

47. We're the ones ruining the country? When he destroyed half of the White House?

And he's selling our media outlets to some of the worst people on earth? WTF!

[Aussie105]

49. Be gentle on the MAGAts!

Sadly lacking in critical thinking skills, and unable to self evaluate and revise their belief system on any topic in the light of new information.

Their belief system is locked solid, and focussed on a simple fact - Trump promised to make their lives better, the whole MAGA slogan says so.
They are locked in, thinking that all the need to do is believe, stay faithful, and Good Things will come their way, one day.

If you never bought into Trump's promise of a better time, then you aren't in the cult.

It takes a certain personality type to become a mindless cult member and hand over your natural self-interest and self-preservation drives to a cult leader.

You and I aren't that sort.
Never were, never will be.

But they are out there, the potential Jonestown flavor aid drinkers, the Waco compound siege defenders, the ones who stare at the clouds waiting for the Mothership to come fetch them to a better place.

MAGAts are easier to understand if you realize they are closet anarchists, who feel the whole system is doing them wrong, and want someone to burn it all down, then stand back and watch a spontaneous rebirth, a rising from the ashes, and create a world more to their liking.
History tells us, such a rebirth never happens. It takes decades of collective toil to get back to where you were as a country before things went up in flames.
But MAGAts aren't students of history.

[KS Toronado]

52. Only MAGAts would argue with what you wrote.

54. rupert should have been blocked from american airwaves. bullshit mountain.
