Their stores carry plantain chips too for about $2 bucks ! At least if they yell at you it will probably be in Spanish and you won't understand!

A lot less stressful than having to endure a "Librul" huh?

This sounds like a much better solution then going back to Whole Foods it and possibly encountering a person from the past.

Some of you (if you truly believe that everything unpleasant in life is somehow a liberal conspiracy) need to go live in a real authoritarian country (try Russia) and see how much joy it brings to your life. We have it great here and our "diversity" of opinion along with our 1st Amendment ability to express it is what makes this a balanced place to live.
It's human nature. If it were someone being shouted at in a Wal-Mart parking lot from a pickup truck with a shotgun rack, ipso facto all rednecks are (fill in the stereotype).


Truth be told, we will only continue to have it great here if people of both sides not only embrace diversity of opinions but also preserve the ability of all to do so. I'm thinking that both sides could employ a bit less 'shouting down' and a little more honest compromise and intelligent discourse. One can dream anyway...

Trying to be nice, I pointed her to the empty lane next to me by saying "I think she's open," as the cashier was a woman.

The customer wearing the Obama sticker looked at me with great indignation and said, "How date you assume somebody's gender without asking. You're so typical of white male privilege!" She then stormed off to another lane.

Folks, that's what the entire Left wants. We can't even feel comfortable having a normal conversation and trying to my nice. I'm lucky I got off with merely a warning, and didn't get accused of sexual harassment.
I'll take "Things That Never Happened" for $100, Alex.

LOL Im rude enough to ask the cashier if shes a dude. Should she indicate that she is indeed a she, I would ask the whiner about idiot privilege. Some days Im really on it and can come up with a better zinger. Im nice til ya poke the bear.

A television interview I saw with Rudy Giuliani captured this completely, it was during the campaign in 2016.

He was asked about the rhetoric of fear when crime was down and people were the safest nationwide in decades.

Giuliani said "what matters is that people feel less safe".

That is the goal of the propaganda. Scare the people into a paranoid frenzy and they will give you what you want them to give you.

They`ll buy more guns too. The gun/criminal lobby has been playing that game successfully for several decades.
