Was approached by a guy while shopping this afternoon. He opened the convo by praising the clearance aisle, then moved on to complaining about the $0.09 increase in gas this week, and how the "towel head" who owns the gas station shouldn't be allowed to own one in America (the owner of the gas station is my friend).

He then went on to say how happy he was that Trump got re-elected because immigrants shouldn't be allowed to finance a business in America.

This is a Trump state. This is what "Make America Great Again" actually looks like in real time—random strangers feeling emboldened to spew hate about hardworking American citizens in grocery stores, thinking every white face is a safe audience for their racism.
