Visit to a MAGA didn't go well. Am I to blame?
Went with wife to visit a MAGA. The conversation moved to healthcare. I was trying to say that healthcare is a basic human right in the European nation where I grew up. Here, tens of millions have healthcare because of Obama, and because of the actions of John McCain to stop GOP taking it away, and incidentally that Trump called McCain a loser because he was caught and incarcerated as a war prisoner, denigrating all vets. Meanwhile, my wife is telling me to stop talking. I'm saying to my wife: "Why do you want me not to speak?" The MAGA host is saying its because nobody cares what I have to say. As I try to speak, my wife keeps telling me to stop. At this point I'm raising my voice just to be heard. I've got two people who are against my right to speak what is on my mind. Then I'm told by MAGA host to leave as I am invited to a house and yelling. I certainly wasn't yelling. Anyway, I walked out and did yell at that point, "I care that millions of people have healthcare, you may not." I am not one to name-call or ever say anything abusive. Wife stayed for another half hour. Should I feel bad? Am I to blame?


That's all I'm bringing over, but it's a HOOT!   :rotf:

Right, you’ll save $2500 a year and if you like your doctor and your insurance you can keep it. And the checks in the mail. :lmao:

5. You're to blame only if you made a long drive home without your wife.

Too bad you couldn't avoid the gathering.

I worked with one guy that we said only had "argussions". Arguments disguised as discussions.

The problem is that magats see everything as zero sum: them against everyone else EXCEPT the rich who skimmed off 90% or more of everything so that peons can fight over the remainder.

6. No, I was going to walk home. Texted my wife to say so. She was very worried as it's like 40 miles from home

and in the middle of nowhere and pitch black, no street lights. She picked me up in the car and soon the conversation turned bad and I yelled that she had no respect for me and told her to stop the car and I got out. Anyway, it doesn't change how much I love her, and she picked me up again five minutes later. I'm not proud of anything I have done, just very upset.

What a tool  :thatsright: :loser: :loser:
I can’t believe someone would post something like that on a public forum, talk about a mental midget with anger management issues  :thatsright:

I guess I'm weird. I don't think of friends and acquaintances I visit as whatever their current political views are. I think of them as - I'm warning you, I AM WEIRD - people.

I also don't visit people to have political discussions. I just would not fit in the DUmmie-verse, even as a "MAGA".

20. For much of my life, I didn't have a voice. I had a very bad stutter when I was a teenager. Kids would laugh at me when I tried to speak. I stopped talking and went into myself. It took a long time to get over it, and my self-worth and self-esteem was badly affected. I still have a lot of feelings of inadaquacy, but I am improving. So I appreciate your response. I feel sensitive to being silenced. It's not something I try to do to others. Sometimes, I just want to go back to my own world where I have no voice. So, I have issues. I have to also recognize that my wife has her own issues, her own insecurities. The Maga is my wife's ex-sister-in-law. She's the mother of my wife's neice who she loves dearly and wants to be able to see. She doesn't want any falling out. Maybe I should have explained in the OP, but it is a little more complex than a random MAGA situation.

Saying this kook has issues is an understatement.

Euros of this sort won't get it, but Euros with a superiority complex go over poorly in the US when they assert their superiority. Things done differently are not necessarily inferiorly done.

No basic human right is forced from another human. A true human right is to be free of forced paying, most call that armed robbery, or forced servitude, again there is a name for that SLAVERY, for freeloaders.

To demand others provide is criminal. PERIOD.

When one is invited into the home of another, one does not raise ones voice emitting messages which are contrary to the owners/occupants of that home, unless one is intent on being a jerky jackass.

Teaching these sorts of things to DUmmies, is as wasted an effort as trying to teach a cricket to drive an automobile, however.

Ultimately, the only way to make healthcare a 'human right' is to endorse slavery.

...

Given Euro-Progs' superiority complex, being a "jerky jackass" (nice alliteration, BTW) was probably Doodley's intention.
