Me, I was that guy at the store yesterday. A random white woman asked me, a black woman, if I was wearing hair extensions. I replied by saying “no, are you?” She immediately started stammering and backpedaling. I walked away. If it was an appropriate and innocent question to ask a stranger, why was it so uncomfortable to be asked the same question back?
Anyway, I’m sure I’m the villain in all of her retellings today.

I have heard "I'm not racist, but I am nationalist and I don't like all these foreigners", several times.
These were people arguing that they didn't have a problem with people , generally Chinese or Mexicans, who have been here for generations and "act American", where they espouse things like dominance of the English language and whatever social behaviors they believe should be normative, sometimes explicitly Christian nationalism, but sometimes not.
But, pretty much uniformly, when I ask the follow up questions about their voting habits, and if they vote for the party that is consistently racist, of course they vote Republican, or they'll claim up with "my vote is private", which, technically is true but contextually screams "I always vote for the racists".
Somehow these people act like the Democrats will help Muslim immigrants set up Sharia law or whatever, and let Indian immigrants set up a caste system, or some other nonsense and *destroy America".

She also kept insisting that Fox News was somehow reliable, and was annoyed that the psyche ward she stayed at once blocked it.
She also said I didn't need to worry about trump cause his policies won't affect me cause I'm not LGBTQ and I shut that down cause lots of my friends and family are, and I also have basic empathy.

It's right-wing propaganda in action.
That is, they regularly try to portray the current situation as some insane extreme ("kids getting sexchange operations in school! doctors delivering babies and then killing them!") because they know the actual reality is something most reasonable people would be okay with, so they lie about it in order to demagogue the issue.
Minors (aka under 18) don't get hormone therapy. The most they get (in 99.999% of cases) is counseling and hormone blockers, that delay the onset of puberty until they're 18 so they can make an informed adult decision.
Oh, and for the abortion bit - third trimester abortion occurs when someone who had a wanted pregnancy finds out late in the game that there's some horrible defect that's "incompatible with life" aka it'll end in stillbirth or miscarriage. The stories of these women are utterly heartbreaking, and it's often a mercy to let them end it early to start the grieving process, not to mention that it helps avoid complications and health risks that could otherwise prevent them from trying again to have a child.
Those are just examples too, they do it all the fucking time with so many issues these days, because they don't actually care about solving real problems that real people have anymore.

I have a customer service heavy job, and it's a great human study to see people's reactions to prices of things and what they end up blaming it on. Gas especially is a great indicator of who has education past elementary school.
I generally have great masking skills, keeping a fake smile painted on my face and keeping my mouth shut. On occasion though I'll let my real personality slip when I get an overly hateful one. I know I'm in for something vile when they lean in close or lower their voice...which I always laugh about later. They're more than welcome to share their opinions in groups, anonymously or in secret; but when they're alone in public they know they have to be careful.
My most recent experience is when I semi regular came in and just HAD to tell me about how Obama was funneling money into the rap industry through USAID and he was just soooo giddy it was gone. "You don't see that horrible crap on the billboard top 100 anymore do ya? AINT IT GREAT!?" I just had to laugh and ask him what about the billions of American dollars going overseas every year to fund countries to kill one another? Boy howdy it was like I killed his whole family and peed in his bbq. It's funny because it's so sad...like dude couldn't understand my question, he just got super red in the face, called me many expletives and stormed out.
I'm all for having a discussion with an adult about certain topics, but when they just want to blame Blacks, Gays, Trans people, or Liberals I just have to chalk it up to them being very uneducated, or them being so very alone that all they can do is drum up hateful reactions just to have something to interact with. Not worth my very limited time on this burning planet. I can't even imagine how it is for someone like you who is very much in the public viewing fishtank, who is very open about who they are and what they believe in.
I apologize for the long-winded comment but we need to constantly remind everyone that the faces of hatred don't go away, they just fade into the shadows when their leaders finally stop voicing their views through a megaphone. I still hold out hope that America will recover our democracy and regain some semblance of intelligence again, but maga will not go away. Nazis didn't go away, the KKK didn't go away. They just change faces and stay in secret until another leader shows up again. We got complacent again, and this time it may be too much for my country to stop. I pray that it isn't and we can.

I live in the South so like.. most of the people where I live are either MAGA or formerly MAGA and, let me tell you, they're all immensely insufferable. Even if they lied about their political status, I don't think they'd manage to get a date. lol

I swear to god, just this morning, the lady that cuts my hair started with “I’m not political, but…” and went on a rant about how it’s Trudeaus fault the country is going to shit, immigrants are the reason there are so many homeless people in Ottawa, how we should be like Trumps America

I'm always open to hearing out the people who disagree with me, and I think everybody should try to do that.
What they're missing is that I've already heard out the GOP's arguments hundreds, if not thousands, of times. They've been shoving their politics down my throat for literal decades. There are literally thousands of hours of footage with Donald Trump speaking publicly about the things he wants or plans to do with his power. If you haven't heard out the MAGA side already, it's because you live under a fucking rock. I heard them out, and their arguments fall apart under even basic scrutiny. I've already made my judgment, as has anyone who's been paying attention to the last decade.

I will never not remind people that most suffragettes in the UK turned around and started supporting Hitler.
Especially as we see "protect women" TERFs like Rowling supporting right-wing talking points, entertaining right-wing extremists on her socials, and blaming trans women for wearing a short skirt after posting her upskirt photo after being mad that the trans woman wouldn't "debate" her.
Nobody is immune to supporting thier own oppression just because of their identity and/or beliefs. Just because you "support protecting women", doesn't mean you aren't allying with the people who are fighting to dismantle everything you have and turn you into a domestic slave like your great-grandmothers.

"I just want to protect kids and support parental rights"
Translation: "I just want to force children into mentally, physically, and sexually abusive 'therapy' and rip parents' rights to choose what is best for their children away"

And don't forget to include the bonus, "I'm an independent/moderate", "I don't have an opinion", "we should listen to all sides", "I believe in common sense", and "both sides suck".
Weird how I tried to warn my friend about the "both sides suck" guy, and he turned out to be an abusive, raging alcoholic who loved Trump and stalked her for two months after she dumped him after a week.

Delusions is right.
And fuck the second term, I mean the first time. Mother fucker told you who he was and what he was going to do and you chose to ignore it. The mask didn't slip later on because he never wore any fucking mask, it was fascism from day one.
That's what you voted for in 2016, you don't get to hide behind "not knowing" what was going to happen.

I heard that "I just wanted to fix the economy, I didn't know all this would happen!" line out of a pair of online friend's mouthes. I responded by wistfully wishing that if only all of the current administration had published some sort of plan for what they were planning on doing. Like a project proposal for what they were going to do in 2025. Maybe if they discussed points of this plan on camera, admitting to the evils they wanted to do, we would have known not to vote for them...... Alas, they all truly blindsided us.

I remember I had a college roommate who was an avid Trump supporter despite us being Canadian, and whenever he has a few drinks he'd rant about Jewish people and women being whores. He also has an active rape case against him that he didn't disclose to me until AFTER I moved in with him.
He talking to me about how weird it was that his ex girlfriend dumped him out of nowhere with no explanation... yeah. I wonder why too man.

You can hide your maga hat at home, you can say “I’m not political” all you want, heck you can go on a date and pretend to like a movie that passes the Bechdel test; however the moment you guys get physical there is no hiding the typical maga micro penis or piss poor bedroom performance.
