Going dark did me no good at all.

Went to get takeout for lunch. My wife wanted fish from a local place that makes really good catfish.

Overheard something. Two guys standing in line behind me. Full-bore white trash, one tells the other, "I expect I'll get a raise once Trump gets rid of the spics and puts the n-words where they belong." His buddy nodded like a happy dumb-ass.

I threw up in the parking lot.

My wife is eating her lunch. I'm going to go mow the fucking lawn.

@TwiHusband Fucking hell. What a bunch of ignorant yahoos. I'm sorry you had to hear that.

@CrankyGrandma At this point, I'm just tired. I can't even say "This isn't the country I grew up in"....because apparently it is. I'm bone deep ashamed.

@CrankyGrandma The ironic thing? Back in 2016, a week after the election, I was in Kroger when I overheard a sales associate (middle-aged woman) talking to an equally middle-aged couple. Thick southern accent. And I quote. "Ah don't agree with everythin' Mistah Trump sez, but Ah'll just be happy if we don't have to wait on n-words no more."

I should have been expecting it this time, yet it still shocked me.
