I avoid conversations with MAGA, but this time [View all]

I was in the doctor's office waiting room. In walked a dude fully decked out in Chump gear. Including, "I identify as a pissed off American slogan."

He sat across from an older couple. The woman eyed him and said a lot of people agree with you. I couldn't help it, " I said not everybody."

The Chumper eyed me. I was wearing my battered ball call that identified me as a an Army Ranger. Major Cognitive Dissonance for him I'm sure. You could see the wheels turning. So he asked me, "you an Army Ranger?" I said Yep. Then I asked him, "what Branch were you?"

The hemming and hawing began. I went back to my book.
