and if I can educate them or get them to see the big picture I will.

the person you met.

No, you are one of my favorites. Please accept my apology. I must not have been clear.

I was thinking of that guy having cancer and still having all that hate for fellow humans.

I am so sorry for the misunderstanding

You are one of my favorites also !

But it might have been nice to bond over the shoes and the horrible experience rather than antagonizing them. I’m guessing the experience was as horrible for them as you. Best of luck to you!

while at the oncologist I usually bring up the fact the orange guy wants to get rid of Medicare and ask, "who the hell can afford to live if he does"

crickets

I wonder if they still have their "fuck your feelings t-shirts" ?

but after I asked my question he started SHOUTING his answer at me and I got the impression he believed
I was one of those worthless Liberals FQX always talks about.

Every time I'm out in public I engage with as many people as I can in this red town to promote our side of the
aisle. I didn't antagonize him, I simply put the ignorant sob in his place without raising my voice.

Believed you have misjudged me.

Those are people with dangerously antisocial and hate-filled beliefs that brought us to where we are now. You're doing a service in the name of what's right.

How's your treatment going?

Then it'll be another CT scan to find out how reduced it is. Doc did tell me options today if the auto-immune
doesn't work as well as planned. My Doctor is aggressive going after cancer and seems knowledgeable.

And keep on stickin' it to 'em.

Best wishes for good news in January!

...that these are the people who used "Fuck Your Feelubgs" as a rallying cry.
Pretty hard to drum up empathy for that type.

I had a Republican guy tell me I was the first Democrat he ever liked. When I disagreed with something he said - I said it in a nice way.

We don’t know people’s life experiences. He is probably already freaked out going to his appointment- why upset a stranger?

People/Magats need to be held accountable!

I think we need to remember their (and our) humanity, regardless of whom they voted for. Yes, hold politicians accountable. And maybe privately hold the maga voters accountable, but leave it out of the doctor’s office maybe.

Why not educate everyone how and where you educate MAGAts to vote with us.

And I've wondered how you're doing. No matter how nice the staff are, the visits are tiring.

My hat's off to you for having the energy to keep raising awareness! You go!

takes about 2 hours, and about half an hour the day before. They take blood samples the day prior
looking for anything unusual to make sure the drip drip stuff doesn't harm me. thanks for asking.

I really appreciate your sharing

Most of the people here are adults with agency and autonomy who enjoy thinking for themselves and making their own decisions about how to move through the world.

The religion groups are the next few doors over. I don't think there's a nursery down the hall at all.

But if the comments are humor, we have a couple of places for that.

If sarcasm is more likely then this thingy here:



Signals to others that the words shared probably also come with eye roll and not egg roll.

All the best to you.

Went to Walmart for oil change today, another gentleman and myself dominated the conversation about
current national affairs in the waiting room, he was another opinionated Liberal and we drew others into
the conversation. Shocked no one challenged us about anything plus we didn't need eye rolls.
Red Kansas in turning purple.

RESIST!! ✊️

Esp at a cancer center.

for staying true. Be well!!!

And not by supporters, either!

I'm sure the way I asked them if they had heard the latest about SNAP would not have given away a was
a Democrat. Only thing I can think of is everywhere I go I attempt to engage people about current politics
and maybe he recognized me from a restaurant or

Holy shit it just dawned on me, thought he looked a little familiar, couple months back was talking to
them about the price of eggs inside Dillons and he blew up at me that day also which also surprised
me that day. Bet he gets mad at a lot of people.

They are the colonial master race that rules Turtle Island with an iron grip

I'm better at telling stories in person than writing them down. But I'm always willing to learn.

But I can go from easy going to the meanest SOB in a heart beat when innocent people who
can not protect themselves are being picked on by bullies.
