Encounter w/my HVAC guy... Repube... Good God ... the fear and ignorance in those people.

In no particular order, when prompted by my question of how he is w/the election results:

1. Obama can jail anyone for any reason for any length of time.
2. Obama is going to outlaw guns. Something about a UN resolution.
3. Obama stole the election. How else can you explain 'landslide'? The voting machines can be hacked. (I agreed with him on this one!)
4. Illegals helped him steal the election.
5. When the economy crashes (and it will, he said) watch out because 'the blacks' will riot because they won't be getting any more of the stuff 'Obama gave them.'
6. I need to get out of my 'bubble' and learn what's REALLY going on.

I'm sure there were others but I had to excuse myself and find something else to do. Oh, his wife is on disability but he sees no irony in that.

I told him to pretty much chill the F out and in four years (he visits 2x a year for system checkup so there will be intervening conversations, I'm sure) let's see where we are.

1. It was fine when Bush could jail anyone at any time. What good are our freedoms if we are all dead?
2. Why didn't Obama outlaw guns already?
3. But it would be OK if they were hacked for Republicans.
4. Illegals can vote now, can they?
5. Oh so the white people on welfare will have no problem? Oh, but they deserve help if they need it!
6. Typical Republican reverse. We tell them they are in a bubble, so they figure if they just turn that around, they've won an argument!

spoken into the (imaginary) microphone in it, and said "I've got a Republican right here. Wait in the van outside; he'll be outside shortly."

Kind of like this:

My guess is that you have a SCAB problem....... You got what you paid for.
