“What was he convicted of?” someone asked.

“He had tattoos on his body,” she replied triumphantly.

“Hey, smartass!” shouted a woman in her sixties, jumping to her feet. “You want to see my tattoo?”

“Lady,” the Trump supporter said. “You don’t know what a tattoo is.”

“Yes I do, I’ve got one!” the woman shouted, tapping her chest.

The Trump supporter dismissed her with a wave of one hand. “I’ve had enough of you Democrats,” she said.

    “That man is a criminal,” she declared of Garcia.

    “What was he convicted of?” someone asked.

    “He had tattoos on his body,” she replied triumphantly.

    MAGA morons are the bottom of the barrel

      This is almost exactly word for word what happened at work today.

    Iowa was improving in the 90s, improving in the 2000s. They were blue then.

    Now I hate going back, it’s not the same state I grew up in. Abortion billboards and porn stores, same as the bible belt now.

    The state is not improving but they don’t care anymore, long as the right people (like me) get hurt.

    The stupidity of some people in that article is jaw dropping.

    Also, if they shout at each other now, just wait for the SSA, Medicare, and Medicaid cuts that make hearing aids too expensive for rural boomers.

      Just a matter of time before conservative media finds a suitable scapegoat. They’ll get a wall of “Transgender Mexican ISIS stole the last bits of New Deal social contract” news articles for six months and come out more rabid than when they started.

      This isn’t merely “Iowans are uniquely gullible”, either. The toxic nature of modern media is everywhere. And it produces as many Eric Adams Democrats as Donald Trump Republicans.

          Was heading up 35 to the Cities last fall and came up behind an old pickup with Iowa plates. Guy was poking along 5 under the limit. I was just getting ready to pass him when all the sudden he veered hard off the road and into the ditch. I quickly pulled over to check on him. “Are you okay? What the heck happened,” I asked. “No, I’m fine,” he answered, “I was on my way up to the Fair, you know, and I was just thinkin’ about whether to go to the Dairy Building or the 4-H building first. But then I looked down and noticed my turn signal was on.”

    I thought that was their only form of communication

    And I feel like this would be a great area for David Attenborough to do a nature documentary on

      Hire the folks that did the Russian cope cages in Ukraine parody from a few years ago. That was particularly impressive.

    This will only escalate… And, across the country…

    And I’m here for it.

    (How is it possible to have a “Food and Drink” emoji section that has no popcorn emoji*) 🤷‍♂️ 🤡
