I've decided to make a NYE resolution that will help others with their problems

This year when I talk to troubled and misinformed people, I'll always ask: "Just what the fuck is wrong with you?".
I've been saying that for a while anyway.

I read somewhere a good comment to use if some crazed MAGAt starts ranting to me about something.

I’ve had the experience of them walking up to me in a store or parking lot and start spouting their shit. Maybe they think because I am a mature white woman I must be in agreement with their views. I don’t want to antagonize them further but I don’t want to stay silent, either. So I just look at them quizzically and say, “Are you all right? Is there someone I can call for you?”

They all grew to fine adults, but did things as kids that made me shake my head.

Thankfully, most of us them grow out of the stupidity when they become adults.
