People are getting angrier and angrier [View all]

I just came from filling the gas tank on my vehicle and a guy was saying that we'd better get our tanks filled before the prices skyrocket. Another guy said "That damned fool in the Whotr House ain't gonna make it any better." And a young woman said "Fuck him!". And yesterday I had to take my daughter to a couple of appointments and we decided to stop at a local convenience store to get a couple of slices of pizza. I was waiting for her to get a pop and there was a guy talking on his phone saying that "He's illegally invading Iran. I don't like trump." He then looked at me and said. "Sorry but that's how I feel." I told him he didn't have to apologize to me because I felt the same way. I'm telling you, people out here in the heartland are getting pissed off. And I think if the repukes try to steal the next elections there will be an uprising like we've never seen in our lives.
