I couldn't hold back with a Trump supporter.

[Funtatlaguy]

I never do this.
I always bite my tongue.
But when a Trump blowhard (white woman probably in her 70’s) was going off in a loud voice in a grocery store about how Trump “has been sent by God” to save America from people like Harris, I had to say something.

My response: “By any metric, Donald Trump is a horrible human being”.
Her response: silence and walking 🚶?♀️ away.

[Walleye]

1. Hating a rapist and a criminal fraudster is not derangement. It's a normal human response especially for women.

[StClone]

17. Sent by GOD?? Then why is going to Hell?

[robleb]

30. HUH?

Did God send Trump because he ran out of locusts?

[The_REAL_Ecumenist]

45. & PLAGUES, don't forget the PLAGUES! & Oh yeah, Monkey Pox AND Covid19 with what seems like an INFINITE amount of

strains that came about because of Orange Degenerate & it's mouthbreathing, knuckle dragging maniacs that refused to get vaccinated, applauded the dirth of PFE to states that DIDN'T vote for him AND politicised a deadly disease that's MUCH more contagious than AIDS ever could be, (IT'S AIRBORNE) just seems like God is trying to tell us something.

[kerry-is-my-prez]

46. He is probably the anti-Christ, if you believe in that.

[soldierant]

65. Throughout history there have been many

antichrists. I see no reason to think Trump** is not another one. Also, in the Bible and throughout history as well, the Beast (antichrist) has been supporrted by a false prophet ans a whore of Babylon. I'm inclined to nominate Mitch McConnell and Fox News for theose two.

But they aren't THE antichrist etc. Trump is AN antichrist. He is not unique.

[FarPoint]

2. They all know the truth....

willing to lie and spew " team style rants"... they fail as human beings with values and morals.

[LuckyCharms]

3. .

[Trueblue Texan]

69. Yep, even jackasses were sent by God...

...but that doesn't mean you have to choose them to lead your nation and the free world!

[Bev54]

4. So now they are blaming God for his depravity? That is the only conclusion one could make.

[ArkansasDemocrat1]

22. They're saying God likes his depravity

[robertpaulsen]

42. Reminds me of a Father Brown quote, "God is not your scapegoat!"

Unfortunately, Tonald Dump doesn't have a shred of a conscience.

[flying_wahini]

5. Good for you. More of us need to speak up when these dumbbells say this stuff.

They just assume that “everybody” agrees with them.
I am well past biting my tongue anymore. It didn’t get us anywhere being nice about it.

[Funtatlaguy]

7. Thanks. I did get a couple of smiles & 👍

[SunSeeker]

34. Yes! I'm proudly flying my Harris flag 24/7 with Republican neighbors on all 4 sides of my house!

Fuck them.

[GreenWave]

6. "He held that Bible upside down for he is the Anti-Christ".

That usually causes them to gasp and reflect.

[Funtatlaguy]

9. 2 Corinthians.

[iluvtennis]

16. Yep, not 2nd Corinthians....I'll never forget that. TFG knows nothing about the Bible and is no Christian. n/t

[thucythucy]

10. And owned a building at 666

5th Avenue.

Isn't 666 the call sign for Satan?

That should get them sputtering!

[Funtatlaguy]

11. lol/ didn't know that.

[bsiebs]

12. 666 Fifth Avenue is a Kushner property...

… but still part of the horrible spawn..

[Moostache]

28. According to some translations of the Book of Revelations...

The number of the beast is the number of a man and that number is 666.

At least that is what I recall from "The Omen"...
It's all a bunch of nonsense and for anyone who would doubt that, apply YOUR reasons for NOT believing in Zeus to Allah or Yahweh or Jeebus and get back to me afterward... if one is honest with themself, the truth is self-evident. There is no 'gawd', no 'plan' and nothing beyond the miracle of star-stuff becoming self-aware and allowing the universe to contemplate its own existence.

[thucythucy]

35. Oh I agree. I cite this only as a way

to send religious MAGAs into an emotional tizzy.

[Ilsa]

64. Too many Christians take The Revelation of John

verbatim, like a thriller movie manuscript.

[LastDemocratInSC]

67. Like a movie....

That's because it is theater, in every way, played out in the arena of pop culture.

[mucholderthandirt]

68. I don't believe anything the Bible says, but it's good to quote it back to these morons.

It's been translated so many times to suit whatever purpose someone wants, and almost every bit of it stolen from every other culture the "believers" could steal from. And rewritten to suit the agenda in power. King James, anyone? Gave himself the divine right of kinds, among other things. Henry VIII dumped the Catholic version and made up his own religion to give him self the same rights, with a "different" God.

And for a group who are supposed to follow the New Testament, to be followers of Christ's teaching, they sure are hung up on all that Old Testament nonsense, especially the parts that let them hurt others. I often tell them for Christians, they certainly like the "Jewish Bible". That sets them back.

[yorkster]

8. That's the reason I have not done any phone

banking yet. I've done it for many candidates over the years. But not sure I could hold back when I get the inevitable
rude Trump supporter

Maybe I'll do GOTV calls at some point.
Less stressful...

[SunSeeker]

33. Most phone banking is to Dems to remind them to vote.

You might get a Trumper family though. I've never spoken to Republicans while phone banking, thank God.

[sarisataka]

13. I still shop at the wrong stores

but if I was there I would have given you a round of applause

[Aviation Pro]

14. You used the word, "metric?"

I guaran - fucking - tee she had no idea what that word means and that's why she walked away dazed and confused.

[llmart]

18. They can't stand it when you use "big words" .

To clarify: to them a big word is equated with intellectual elitism. Anything above a first grade level is a "big word".

[Ohioboy]

15. Wow, that's all it took to shut her up?

I never understand why the Bible people don't see him as the Antichrist. He fits that description more than anything else.

[jaxexpat]

21. Most Bible people have never read the book.

They take their pastor or priest's spin and ponder on their faith for a couple of seconds on Sunday morning.

[ArkansasDemocrat1]

23. I thought the Big Anti-Kahuna would be smarter than that

[barbtries]

19. Any feedback from other people in the store?

thank you for saying this. These people are sick, indoctrinated to believe the most absurd of lies, and need to be shamed into shutting up. The entire sane world should have been slapping back all along, maybe it would not have gone this far

[Funtatlaguy]

29. Just a few smiles and thumbs up

[Crowman2009]

20. I would respond to her with: Which god might that be?

Satan, baal, Kali, Hades?

[kwolf68]

24. Hitler

Also believed he had been sent by God as well and the 11 (???) assassination attempts that failed to take his life were actually seen by der fuhrer himself as evidence of such. This lady is in good company, or not.

[Joinfortmill]

25. I like that. It was very civilized of you.

[CrispyQ]

26. A perfect response!!

[bmichaelh]

27. Bonhoeffer on Stupidity

German theologian, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, who was killed by the Nazis believed stupidity was worse than evil.

I have family members who believe something similar about Trump and God.

I try to argue with reason.

How ACA saved my life, my being a lymphoma survivor; and Trump wanted and wants to destroy ACA.
If Trump is successful, my health would be at risk.

They still believe that rubbish about Trump and God.

[SunSeeker]

31. She should not speak for God.

That's blasphemy.

[durablend]

32. The local idiot is using that too

He keeps putting his signs up, this time GOD AGAINST SATAN (or something) with the life-sized cardboard Trump cutout.

[OldBaldy1701E]

36. Why?

https://i.postimg.cc/DzJjC1Hm/temp-Imageb-ECGs-M.avif

[Stargazer99]

37. A trumper told me the same thing that God sent Trump

and my response was my God sent a wonderful man called Jesus that had love and morals..Trump possess none and I am sure what god ever sent Trump wasn't the one I know

[jls4561]

38. Why? Did he run out of locusts?

[LoisB]

39. Good for you. We should not bite our tongues, they don't.

[calimary]

52. When have they EVER held back?

Besides never?

[LoisB]

59. Exactly! Never.

[Jirel]

40. Go you!

EVERYONE needs to do this, EVERYWHERE. I recently did that at a pool equipment store. The bastard shut up and glared at me until we were done with our purchases, but what matters is that he shut up.

We need to stop letting them normalize hate speech. No, it won’t change their minds, but it helps keep others who aren’t already toxified to resist the message, and to stand up themselves.

[aggiesal]

41. Jesus preached love, Pendejo45 preaches hate, literally campaigns on hate ...

She really thinks GOD sent him?
She needs some medication.

You did good.

[markbark]

43. Sent here by God?

WHICH god? Cthulu?

[usonian]

44. Hurricanes, twisters and earthquakes are officially "Acts of God"

That said, direct people to the tabloids at the checkout.

[Beartracks]

47. God sent his only Son to save the world. Not Trump. Unless she is saying...

... that Trump is to replace Jesus as the Messiah? Sounds like idolatry to me. I wonder if she knows that, in all her God-fearing-ness?

Probably not.

==============

[NoMoreRepugs]

48. I would have asked her if she day drinks all the time.

[Mike Niendorff]

49. ...

"Have you accepted Donald Trump as your personal Lord and Savior?"


MDN

[malaise]

50. Love it

Rec

[BluRay76]

51. I usually bite my tongue as well...

Especially with family members. But people who equate Trump to any religious high ground make me so angry. Trump is quite literally the personification of the seven deadly sins, and the fact that so many "religious" people support him is absolutely stunning (quotes used because I have several family members who actually practice their religion in a non-hypocritical way, and they are among the most vocal anti-Trump people I know).

[Buttoneer]

53. She had to go home and look up the word, "metric" in her Merriam-Webster dictionary.

[Frances]

54. "No, Trump was sent by Luciter" would have been my response

I’m betting she has no idea that the Bible says God cast Lucifer, more commonly know as Satan, out of Heaven for leading a rebellion against God
To me, both Satan and Trump are symbols of evil.
They are the opposite of Jesus, wbo symbolizes love and tolerance as in the parable of the Good Samaritan.

[keithbvadu2]

55. Sent by God?

[smb]

61. God's Plan B

[Martin68]

56. I don't think I'd use a hard word like "metric" with a Trump supporter. They don't understand language like that.

[-misanthroptimist]

57. Kudos to you!!

That is what we all should be doing whenever possible and when you feel safe to do so. Don't get yourselves injured over it, though.

[niyad]

58. You were much kinder than I would have been. "Then your god is a fucking

psychopath", and walked away.

[CaptainTruth]

60. I probably would have asked...

... "Why do you think God hates America?"

[ailsagirl]

62. Kudos!!

[AllaN01Bear]

63. your last paragraph, thats what they always do. hem

[Cha]

66. omg... first off.. Good on You! And, JHC.. how

brainwashed can you get and still walk around?

And, you were so nice about it

[get the red out]

70. Good job

The time for nice is long past.

[Paladin]

71. THIS is what we need to be doing on a regular basis.

I've been griping about it for decades: We Democrats are WAY too fucking polite with our political enemies. We conduct ourselves by an antiquated set of behavior rules, while our adversaries do as they damned well please. We've enabled the fascists to acquire way too much power---and it must STOP. CONFRONT these sick, twisted people, SHAME them---every time the opportunity presents itself.

I trust I've made my position clear...
