I caught some poo poo here earlier in this thread a while back speaking on my observations at my local flea market - where I am given to shop for things on the cheap and my observation that the whole place really is a microcosm of America in a lot of ways that I won't delve into here. You can check my post history to find it. This afternoon, however, I had been there maybe 15 minutes before I overheard one vendor and his customer openly say "someone needs to rub out Pelosi" and the other guy say "we have a lot of people working on this" and "god willing" and all that poo poo. It made me sick and I really came close to saying something and starting some poo poo but I didn't and, after a while I wish I had. But I had my 8 year old son with me and, frankly, just didn't have the energy. But it put me in a foul mood for a bit and I had trouble shaking it. The place is filled with poor, rural, white Trump voters desperately clinging to their god given freedom to sell old, used vacuum cleaners, guns, used dvd's and all sorts of trash and the casual way these people talk about assassinating the speaker of the house made me think of the poo poo Prester Jane goes on about. It's still bugging me now. Someone is gonna get hurt from all this rhetoric.

love it idk how that guy cant see a good candidate on either side when the current field of 2 reps and what, a dozen dems covers p much the entire spectrum of american political ideology but i suppose what does some dumb corn shucker who voted for obama then trump know about anything. probably votes solely on a singular policy that affects only him

You can check my post history to find it. I’m not sure where you’re from, but any flea market around my parts of rural Ohio is chud central. They are still very the bump stock thing, so you could bring that up, but proceed at your own risk.

We went on a family trip to Nova Scotia when I was like 12 by way of the Portland to Yarmouth ferry and I'd read so much Stephen King in my young life that as soon as we crossed the border into Maine I was all scared and nervous that some spooky poo poo was going to happen well that's my Maine story

Johnny Five-Jaces posted:lmao you’re being obtuse if you didn’t spot the paternal “and I hear in the Midwest they even drink water and have families, just like us” tone in that post Maine is literally the most rural state in the entire country in terms of population. It is not a gleaming wealthy place that can in any spot produce that kind of attitude any more than Iowa can produce it. The only difference Maine has from most Midwestern states is an ocean, and actually being less urban. Grape has issued a correction as of 22:47 on Dec 9, 2019 |

Magically transforming them into snooty rich exclusive suburb stuffed wonderlands populated by latte drinkers and arugula scarfers. Like this bugs me because this erases the large amount of working class (both minorities AND white) who live in the urban areas, and erases plenty of rural struggling people as well. Such as virtually the entire state of Maine. Leading to this fine mess of yours here.

Someone is brewing the lattes and plating the arugula for the rich people, and who do you think that is? Not other rich people, that's for sure.
