Had not seen that - can you point to a reliable source that has studied and determined that "most of the "Karens" that have been caught have been doxxed and found to be liberal white women living in the most liberal parts of the country."

Being a nosy neighbor, an angry busybody, or being righteously indignant, has been a thing as long as there have been human beings.

We just didn't have video cameras everywhere to film them and laugh at them, until recently. In the old days, both sides would go off after the incident fully believing they were in the right.... and it probably grew in the retelling, and there was no youtube... so no one was the wiser.

I remember as a child, my mother pulling over a log truck driver she righteously believed had TOO MANY LOGS on his truck. It was something she'd commented on before... but there had recently been an accident in town where a log truck went around a corner too fast and the logs rolled off and killed someone in a car. Anyway.... on this truck, the logs were stacked over the height of the forks and in danger of rolling off an killing someone. And she stopped him and demanded he give his name and employer, I think.... I don't know, I was mortified and hiding in the car. Classic Karen... 1975.

Remember the woman upset because a guy was sitting in his truck with the engine idling? That was years ago.

I think you need to cite your source(s). Progressives are not Marxists.

Your mom had righteous courage.

Don't confuse the hot button topic of the day, with the only complaint people have with each other. Ethnic conflict and face masks are what is 'hot' right now. It's like shark attacks.

No kidding! Though I'm not sure I would recommend putting your car with your daughter in it, in front of a truck! She was crazy and zealous in her mission, Bless her heart.

LOL I had a hard core mom too - I guess she was also a Karen, before they had a name.

I remember one time I was shopping with my mom for "back to school" clothes for my kids. Suddenly, across the whole store, my mom hollers to me, "DON'T BUY ANY OF THOSE LEVI'S JEANS." I shouldn't have asked this in retrospect, but it was my basic default - I shrugged and mouthed "Why not?" and she yelled, "BECAUSE LEVI'S SUPPORTS THOSE ***** RIGHTS!" (Word starts with a Q and ends with an R - bleeped out here, but honestly, you could insert any group of people here and it would be just as embarrassing.)

Urge to crawl under a clothes rack...

It was a safety hazard.

Is it that horrible for someone to point this out. It's not the same thing as someone sending their food back 3 times at a restaurant.
