One would think a 29 YO would have more smarts than to punch someone because he disagreed with them, but then again the moron voted for Trump so I guess it makes sense.

I’ve disagreed with strangers about PP, the conversations were brief, because, really, why? Am I going to convert a moron I’ve just accidentally met? So I’m going out on a limb to say it’s testosterone at work and the issue happens to be the racist in the WH, but it could be any other issue.

"“You can’t let things like this happen. You can’t have people who are trying to exercise our freedoms and free speech be intimidated by a bunch of fascists and a bunch of thugs.”

Many people do.

A 29 year old (presumably straight) white male in redneck country having maturity and sense? Umm, that’s the LAST person who would have it. (Anyone notice if he had a confederate flag on his car or a tattoo of one?)

Frazier reminds me of this guy:

He jumped out of truck, hit the guy and the police were on him within seconds. Must be a 28-29 year old redneck thing.

A 29 year old hyper-aggressive, belligerent male picking a fight with a 61 year-old peacefully protesting this Administration is the epitome of Trump’s reign.

I had a brief disagreement with a dolt 45 supporter holding a trump 2020 sign at a 5k. The conversation consisted of me yelling “fuck you!” and flipping him off as I ran by. And I wasn’t even wearing my #badass shirt on that day — although my nails were a lovely shade of garnet.

I’m going slightly OT with an editorial making the case for Harris for President which includes why she’d dominate a lawless ignorant and most of all angry racist.

Trump, in the name of making American great again, has trampled on America’s essence. He is angry, a stranger to happiness , angrier still for not knowing the source of his rage. He is less interested in liberty than the cash of his autocratic cronies. As for life , he views it as a selective right, to which the white Christian male has priority access, with women, people of color and the rest of humanity trailing along behind for scraps.

Concludes with

Harris said Trump was a “predator.” She continued: “The thing about predators you should know, is that they prey on the vulnerable. They prey on those who they do not believe are strong. And the thing you must importantly know, predators are cowards.”

Those were important words. It’s early days, but Trump’s biggest electoral vulnerability is to women. They have seen through his misogyny at last, and they know just where the testosterone of nationalism leads.

If they had let that fight go, my money would’ve been on the older dude.

Yep. But hey, if it lowers the Republican voting electorate, then I am all for it.

Will Donald Trump pay the legal fees of person charged with assault?? Nope, I didn’t think so.

Allegedly attacked? (in the body of the article, I see the lead sentence has it correctly stated)

Got to love the AP style guides or libel caveats.

This guy better watch himself before he gets labeled antifa. The DOJ will mark him as a domestic terrorist and throw him in stir. Gotta protect the constituency.
