Showing Original Post only (View all)My MAGA neighbor got a bit of "finding out" last night. [View all]
I'm going to omit details for anonymity.
I have a MAGA Neighbor who's an immigrant (from Country B) & a disabled veteran. And yes, he voted for Trump & wears a MAGA cap all the time. Makes perfect sense, right? He had a Trump sign in his yard but it strangely disappeared in a day or two.
Last night he apparently approached my Other Neighbor & a shouting match erupted. Well, Other Neighbor was shouting, I think MAGA Neighbor quickly retreated to hide in his house.
I stepped outside to see what the commotion was & heard Other Neighbor yelling about being "tired of your effing white supremacy bullshit" & "YOU should be the one to effing leave, go back to effing Country B" & "get off my land, don't ever come in my effing driveway or effing talk to me again" &, referring to his MAGA cap, "take that effing thing off your effing head."
There was more, he went on for a good 20 minutes at a volume the whole neighborhood could hear, but that's enough to give you the idea.
Afterward I kept thinking that MAGA Neighbor was probably wondering why Other Neighbor got so lividly mad at him. I've seen other MAGAs be totally puzzled when confronted with the anger of people who were hurt by their vote. Stunned. "Why are they so mad at me?!?" They're so clueless, so uninformed & misinformed, they can't understand it.
I'm sure he still doesn't understand it, but I think MAGA Neighbor got a bit of "finding out" that his vote has real consequences for real people, including himself, in the real world. I don't think he'll be venturing anywhere near Other Neighbor anytime soon, probably never.
And I think I now know why MAGA Neighbor's Trump sign disappeared from his yard so quickly.
