Or maybe Democrats have so disenfranchised people like that, made them feel so insignificant, that they lash out. It surprises me you see it this way, as a psycho therapist. It's not a long distance from blaming Trump to agreeing with someone that "Yes, it IS your mother's fault."

What would have happened IF you have bought them a drink. Did it occur you that they were poor and hoping to connect with someone who would taken the role of big shot. Do you think they would have bullied you after having drinks on you? Or would they look up to you?

I read this as you went into the bar with a chip on your should about MAGA types. As you said yourself, you weren't some pipsqueak.

Great story! I really enjoyed and always find it interesting how we all see things differently.
