Trump supporters at the water park today

[mreilly]

I was at the Great Wolf Lodge in Fitchburg, MA today when two Trump supporters strolled in with their kids.

How did I know they were Trump supporters? I'm going to try to be as impartial as I can here and report without judgment.

The husband, a stocky, crewcutted, grey-haired man of 50, had a "Hillary for Prison" shirt on. The back read "Infowars.com." So, you know where his mindset is. Can't celebrate the Trump win without trying to urinate on Hillary, oh no. The anger never stops from these people.

The wife, a rat-faced blonde (I said I would be impartial but she looked like a rodent character from the "Arthur the Aardvark" books I used to read my kids) had a "Trump is President - Deal With It" t-shirt on. She literally looked like a teenager - gosh, I guess these Trump fans can't attract women their own age - and peered suspiciously about as they set their bags down. Because ISIS is going to attack. Without Trump physically present to protect them, because Obama has done shit for us, of course.

As I watched them I observed the husband yelling angrily at his kids, complaining to the staff about something (too far off but I saw a lot of angry gestures and pointing at something that displeased him) and - at one point - seeming to be about to butt in line in front of me and my kids at the lunch counter. He was hanging by the side trying to get the clerk's attention and I was about to grimly tell him: "This is the line. GET IN BACK!" with as much fury as his behavior merited. Turned out dipshit wanted to know where the men's room was. Right next to us, as it turned out. Fucking stupid.

I am honestly not putting my bias into this post. Both of them, with their angry glares, suspicious glances, and negative interactions, were perfect Trump supporters. The ONLY positive thing I saw out of the two of them was when the wife must have announced she was heading off elsewhere and they kissed goodbye.

But why wouldn't they? They're two peas in a pod of hatred, judgment and censure!

Enjoy your little t-shirts, folks. Once Asshole gets elected we're rolling up our sleeves and stopping him on all fronts. Countering the lies. Blocking the nonsense. Getting the word out on exactly what he's doing. Not trying to reach the alt-right Breitbart asswipes (they're unreachable) but the ones who will help us bring justice in 2018 and 2020.

And in the end, fuckers, your little t-shirts will be abandoned. You won't dare to wear those out in public after the shit-show of Trump is done.

I guarantee it.

1. For people who have seen their candidate elected, these folks sure are sore winners.

I really don't understand it.

I mean, They Won.

Why aren't they happy?

I was always happy whenever my candidate won. Always.

[mreilly]

2. Exactly.

They are still so fucking angry. They trot around internet forums gloating about how they "love the taste of liberal tears," but every post reeks of desperate unhappiness. The gloating doesn't mean shit to me; it's the fact they are still so MAD about everything.

And when Hillary doesn't go to prison (gee, you need to commit an actual crime to go to the Big House), the asshole I described won't blame Trump. Oh, no. The liberals somehow protected her. And so on and so forth.

29. Their anger is completely misdirected.

Hate radio and conspiracy theory radio have warped their minds. It's not the president who they should be angry at, it's Congress. Trump said he wanted to "drain the swamp", but he just appointed a whole cabinet of billionaires who are going to loot, pillage and sell off to the highest bidder, while Congress is going to do a whole lot of untold damage, especially if FADA passes. It's not the president, the courts and Congress are the ones who are going to do the most damage under Trump. These assholes wanted a "Washington outsider" (whatever that means ), and they're going to see first hand how much damage a Washington outsider is going to do.

5. I agree I think they should be

thanking the Electoral College and the miracle that allowed him to happen to get a thin margin of white voters in the right states.

[Initech]

28. I think buyer's remorse is setting in.

When they start losing their rights because we have a fascist dictator in charge, they will be very sorry!

[cigsandcoffee]

3. By the numbers in MA, 1/3 of the people at that park were Trump supporters.

Looks like you ran in to a particularly egregious example.

[SunSeeker]

4. I didn't see any similar mocking shirts on Obama supporters after his win(s).

Trump supporters are deplorable.

[treestar]

6. I wonder if they were feeling extra defensive

because by wearing the shirts, they knew they were exposing themselves.

[rumdude]

7. Great re-telling

I know those types. I know them all too well.

9. Go fuck yourself, crybaby...

... love how you crying turds are frantically trolling these boards. Enjoy frantically spinning all of Trump's failures for the next four years. We are going to OWN you assholes and your orange-haired Cheeto Jesus!

[cwydro]

10. A real shame that you or the Trumpers feel the need to act up in a kids' happy place.

What a damn shame.

[mreilly]

12. Say again?

Where did I say I was "acting up?"

[Whiskeytide]

13. Wow. How did you do that ...

... without leaving an edit history?

[mreilly]

14. I'm sorry, did you have something to say?

[Buckeye_Democrat]

15. I just read your OP again, and it reads the SAME to me!

[Whiskeytide]

23. It wasn't the OP...

... that changed. It was the response to Cwydro ... The one I responded to.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

25. Oh. Never mind me, then.

[Whiskeytide]

26. No problem. It was just really odd.

I was almost looking at it when it changed. I thought any change to a post left an edit trail.

Edit to test my theory.

[Whiskeytide]

22. Not really. I was just curious.

I was just not aware you could do that.

[cwydro]

16. You sound angry.

No idea how a water park is an option up north at this time of year, but whatever.

If I were to be at a water park up north at this time of year, I imagine I would be annoyed also. But I could not give a fuck what t-shirt anyone had on.

I'm just tired of these silly stories. Sorry.

[mreilly]

31. Hello, McFly?

You never heard of a water park up north? Like an INDOOR one, which is, um, heated, thanks to this wonderful thing we call - well, HEATING?

You're a special kind, ain't you?

Thanks for reading. Run along now.

[cwydro]

35. Lol.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

11. LOL! Obvious ones!

If they listen to this garbage and BELIEVE it, then they're destined to be in rotten moods.

[Initech]

18. Raging assholes begat raging assholes.

And Alex Jones is the worst of the lot. I'm not surprised in the least that his fans are also raging assholes.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

19. What came first? The Alex Jones or the hate?

I tend to think the listeners were hateful to begin with, but then there's documentary movies like "The Brainwashing Of My Dad" that make me question it.

[Initech]

33. Not sure but that is a good question.

And I think the sooner we find an answer for it the better.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

34. As my father often said

Shut up or I'll give you something to cry about!!!!

[Initech]

17. Fuck Infowars.

[Jacob Boehme]

20. Maybe this is how theyre feeling.

“Paranoia strikes deep….
Into your life it will creep….
It Starts when you’re always afraid…
Step out of line and the man comes…
To take you away…”

[pnwmom]

21. And these are people some Dems are anxiously trying to appeal to.

But we're never going to appeal to haters unless we sell our souls.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

24. Not me!

Not all Trump voters are like those people.

Arguing that they're the same because they still voted for Trump despite the hate-filled, racist messaging doesn't work for me because I've seen too many people vote for people with particular ideas/messages they dislike, but only because there's some quality of the opposing candidate they dislike more. It's sometimes for very self-centered reasons, like "single issue" gun rights and anti-abortion folks, but that's not surprising either given how far too many people think. For crying out loud, there's people who choose to believe the "prosperity gospel" (that God rewards his most faithful with Earthly riches) despite several passages attributed to Jesus that contradict it. They elevate some passages (messages) and largely ignore others because they want to have their cake and eat it too!

EDIT: Going after non-voters might be the best bet, though.

[The_Casual_Observer]

27. A pissy assed bastard. Probably the only t-shirt he owns that didn't reek of BO.

Or maybe that one did too.

[brewens]

30. The "Trump is President-Deal With it" shirt reminds me of, "It's Going to be Madam President

-Deal With it!" I saw a few posts like that here and elsewhere. Both are obnoxious but one looks stupider doesn't it? That kind of thing doesn't help your cause. Next time, save the shit talk until after we have won!

32. Trump deplorable dipshits. (eom)
