Speaking of stupid in this country, I have to tell someone this story. I still mask in public because of my wife's cancer and chemotherapy. People will occasionally inquire about it, but they always back off when I explain.
Yesterday I had a run in with a customer, an alpha male maga who ORDERED me to remove the mask, because COVID was a hoax and always had been. I disagreed and explained why. He declared my explanation bullshit, told me to fuck off, and again demanded I remove the mask.
I kept the mask on, told him my wife's life mattered more to me than his ignorant opinion, and to take his merchandise and leave. We did NOT part on good terms.
His parting shot? "We'll be back for you, Kamala Communist."
I have serious doubts that things in this country will settle down unless we kick some serious ass in November and afterward.
@TwiHusband This is why I'm seriously considering getting a gun. Let them think they're the only ones with weapons. It'll be a sharp surprise.
@LiberalLibrarian I already own guns. I used to hunt when I was younger. I still maintain them, but have fired one in years.
I DID however use my lunch hour to buy pepper spray for my wife and I. It will be in my pocket at work, store rules or no store rules.
My bear & wasp sprays were stolen when my van was vandalized. I don’t feel as safe without it. Especially since Abby left.
@LiberalLibrarian @TwiHusband I’ve been seriously considering it too. Especially if there is any unneeded violence in this country due to the fascist pigs not getting their way….which we all know might likely happen.
