Trump supporter confronted my family in the parking lot [View all]

Tonight I went out to dinner at Olive Garden with my wife and daughter. As we are getting into the car a black truck with two white guys around late 20s to early 30s pulls up behind my car in the parking lot and yelled "Fuck you commie" and "We won" which I'm guessing is because I have a PROUD DEMOCRAT and HILLARY bumper sticker on my car. As they took off in a plume of black smoke and screeching tires I noticed he had a Trump sticker and one of those "my family" gun nut stickers like this one:



I was shocked and saddened that someone would harass my family like this, especially in front of my daughter, and ruin our nice night out. On the drive home I was tearing up thinking that this is what our country has become. My amazing wife consoled me before I really broke down but I tried to hold it together in front of my daughter. I am scared of the world that she will grow up in. A world of hate. A world that will be defined by a vile, racist, sexist, Islamophobic woman groper. Unless we can impeach him soon.

I hope there is a light at the end of the tunnel. I really do.
