Today in a Red Bar

I live near Palm Springs. Being gay, retiring here was an easy choice (compared to the Deep South where I was).

So today I stopped by my local bar for a couple drinks and a fish n'chips. I will say right off the bat this is a Red bar, so I never talk politics. Well, I walked in and on the TV was "Biden backs out of race". The first I'd heard of it.

What I heard was "We are fucxxd" from the Republican crowd. There was a guy in an Elephant T-Shirt there and he was pissed. "Now Kamala is running, there goes the blacks! ." Another guy was ranting about who the VP pick would be. He was bitching it would probably be the Democrat Governor of Pennsylvania "Josh sonething". "They'll take the state then, we need that state."

I heard people in panicked distress. I sat there, nodded a lot, and I was laughing inside. It was a good lunch.

I consulted the Dictionary of Things That Actually Happened, and, surprisingly,  there was no entry for this.


Let's go down the list:

Today in a Red Bar

There are no "red bars," DUmmy. Just bars. There are bars that host fans of certain sports teams, maybe, but that's about it.

A homo in Palm Springs is easy to accept. The Deep South part is made up, of course. In any case, you ruined the mythology already, because California is bluer than your lips after a couple hours with your ball gag inserted. Who cares what anyone in your "red bar" said?

There's that giveaway word, "So," which I call the BFDU Rule of Bouncies. Also, if you are such a devotee of same-sex relations and Cher, why are you in a "red bar" to begin with? I thought Republicans killed Nancy Boys on sight. Isn't that what you people always say? And there is NO WAY that was the "first you heard of it."

Nice touch, that elephant t-shirt. I mean, you have to emphasize that THESE WERE REPUBLICANS in this RED BAR and they were talking about REPUBLICAN THINGS  and being all REPUBLICAN-Y.

Pathetic.

One bong.

No conversions, diesel belching trucks, flags, confederate statues or cops.

Keep in mind, a "red" bar in California means any bar slightly to the right of Marx..

It also forgot the police jumping out of the bushes, the dancing trannies and maybe the guy in the elephant t shirt belongs to the people who are trying to save the elephants.  

It’s bs to you and me but It sounds good to the mental midgets over there

Stupidly obvious fictional- .

The idea that a California R would fear Kammie is ludicrous, . We know how she got where she is and saw her in inaction as AG and Senator. Here's a sample of her staff manglement as California AG, https://www.latimes.com/politics/la-pol-ca-kamala-harris-attorney-general-settlements-20190301-story.html .

I have heard of all kinds of bars before. Gay bars, Country Western bars, Sports bars and such but never a Red bar. Must be a Kalifornia thing.

Kamala is not that popular even in CA - she won that senate seat by 60% of the vote against another D in their stupid jungle system. Knew some people that worked for her when she was in SF, they all disliked her. But she does have the gay SSDI CA recipients[ vote locked down.

does his husband know he's barhopping again?

Zero bongs.

No cops leaping out of fish-n-chips.

[Old n Grumpy]

Even his drink looks gay!

I wonder if it’s the house special the “fudge pucker “

[tuolumnejim]

Now I can see a demoTard saying they are screwed if cameltoe runs, but not a Republican.

Along those lines, notice that he mentions the specific city where he currently is, but refers to the area where he came from as just the incredibly vague "The Deep South."
Meaning, he was too lazy to think up the name of a Southern city or town that would be seen as associated with "The Deep South" and so he figured just saying he came from "The Deep South" would convince the other DUmmies that he came from some evil homophobic redneck town where everyone was constantly trying to string him up, and he trusted that none of them would call him out on it.

Also, good call later in your response raising the quite valid question of why he as a left- wing gay man went into a "Red bar" in the first place.

Make them bake the cake is why.

I've not heard the term "Red Bar", but Palm Springs is 400+ miles SSE of where I live, and I don't frequent bars (as in pretty much never). So, even if the term is in use, I still might not hear it.

I was in a blue bar last night and while I was standing there waiting for the bartender to bring me my drink, another patron approached me and asked if I'd like to have my stool pushed up.

A day ago or so a family member mentioned having visited Palm Springs for several days. The family member said that the city is half Hollywood and half gays. I asked, "Sort of like West Hollywood," and the answer was yes. Obviously, there are probably locals of neither flavor who do necessary stuff from restaurant server to electrical/plumbing/etc. to banker/lawyer/etc.. At least some of these probably differ politically/morally from Hollyweirders and the more lib/Prog among gays. But a "Red Bar"? That has a false, made-for-DU, ring to it.

How can you tell if you're in a gay bar?

The stools are upside down.
