There are several farmers markets in the area and I tend to make the rounds on a Saturday morning. It’s a good time to get a walk in, see some good stuff, get some produce and maybe other crafty stuff. Nice folks and a good way to see a microcosm of the world since regular folks and the crunchy-granola crowd mix and mingle.
That said…
One farmers market vendor had a Trump sign up next to his wares. A crunchy granola dude wearing more bracelets than I do comes sauntering up. I was making a purchase so just decided to hang out for a minute.
CGD: I was going to buy something until I saw your Trump sign.
FMV (not taking the bait and in an exaggerated drawl): You go ahead and do whatchya gotta do.
(Have to admit I would have paid money for the FMV guy to say ‘You do you boo.’, but that didn’t happen).
Polite conversation ensues as CGD announces he’s a Harris supporter (truly the epitome of a White Dudes for Harris kind of guy).
He ended up buying something but didn’t get what he really came for, which was to get into an argument with a person he clearly thought was dumb when he walked up. Because FMV was chock-full of facts to back up everything he said.
I did think it was funny because CGD said he was nervous taking the back roads with his Kamala sticker on his car. He doesn’t realize that the rest of us just pity someone like him because he’s clearly deficient in his thinking and if he doesn’t take a swing or isn’t a complete asshole, we’re not going to start anything.
It was kind of fun to watch him get his metaphorical ass handed to him though.
