So I had an encounter with a Trumphole out in the wild today.

And generally my protocol when I see such encounters is to not engage. And that proved to work very well in this situation. So I go make a credit card payment at the bank and then I decide to go have lunch at McDonalds since it is in the same parking lot (don't hate me!) and it was cheap. Anyway I order and go sit down and there is this crazy woman ranting about free loaders (apparently these people were "20 and should be working" 
) and addicts and people who abuse "the system".
What happened that set her off? There were people in the parking lot asking for money. And apparently they were asking an 81 year old woman if she had any money. So her voice gets louder and louder and her rants get crazier and crazier. At one point she storms over to the window and stares out as the people who were asking for money were crossing the street. She says out loud "I know how these types operate! They will just go from one shopping center to the other and by the end of the day they will have $200 in their pocket! That is how they work!".
She was making the people in the restaurant including me very uncomfortable. Thankfully I was looking at my phone the entire time so I didn't have to make eye contact with her. I am very surprised the manager didn't ask her to leave over this. Then some people were staring at her and she yells at the top of her lungs "WOULD YOU LIKE IT IF IT HAPPENED TO YOUR GRANDMA?????". Which an 87 year old woman responded and shut down her arguments, at which point she shut up and left. The entire time I was like "holy crap". But seriously WTF is wrong with people that they think they can do that? 
= new reply since forum marked as read
Trump is a loathsome, boorish asshole and that makes others feel like they should be loathsome, boorish assholes as well!
