You thought progs were scarred by shooting guns? Plumbers are scarier

This Leftist Got Scared Of His Plumber Because Of Trump

quote:

The week after this election, senior editor of Think Progress Ned Resnikoff penned a screed online about his unfortunate experiences with his neighborhood plumber. Here’s the harrowing story, as quoted by roving journalist Michael Tracey:








quote:

But the bubble grows. Because people only associate with people with whom they agree, particularly on the left. Conservatives are confronted with leftist ideas and leftists personally on a regular basis – there’s only one conservative cable news source, Fox News, and only one major conservative national news publication, The Wall Street Journal (and even there, the reportorial side of WSJ leans left). Hollywood, the universities, and even ESPN are dominated by the left. Conservatives can’t escape leftism. Leftists can.

So when their bubble is punctured, they freak out.

if you want to see the fricking hatred and disdain of normal people by the left, just picture all this judgment and hatred of some plumber just trying to do a job. he literally didn't do shite except for be a blue collar worker who may have had an accent

I bet if you substituted "black guy" for "white plumber", this guy would be tarred and feathered online. But since it's only a middle class white guy with a southern accent, it's perfectly fine to stereotype him.

He freaked out over the possibility that he might be next to someone who didn't agree with him. Couldn't even bring himself to find the current age to actually ask the guy. Just cowered in fear.

The plumber probably thanked him for the business and the dude peed himself.

Thanks liberals. You facilitated Hillary's loss. Thanks for everything.

Andrea Mitchell wondered out loud in 2000 how G.W. won the election when everyone she knew voted for Gore.

yeah another thing is the whole "my subjective reality is so important" angle

they've gone so far off the fricking grid with this shite that they're actively judging people for no reason whatsoever other than their subjective beliefs, which are hatred

Instead of scouring the Internet looking for slap dicks to get angry about, you could be learning astrophysics or Mandarin right now.

And yes, I realize that cuts both ways. Believe me, I remind myself of it weekly.

I do not believe this guy is a "straight, white male".

Have you not seen the "male" "I'm with her crowd"?

It's a white dude. So sad. Little snowflake thought Bubba was going to lay the pipe instead of fix it.

Perturbed, less than pleased, broadly judgmental.

Pick your preferred adjective.

This Ned character should really consider himself for euthanasia.

Once again the tolerant left makes assumptions about someone different then themselves and lets their fear work themselves up into a near panic attack.

I'm slowly changing my stance on moderate libitards, I'm relaxing a bit because there is no way failed humanity like this POS could ever take over the country.

Absolutely. The important aspect to them is that they feel that white middle class males with southern accents should know that their mere presence can truly worry people so they should come out and reassure everyone at the beginning of every interaction that they are a safe person to talk to and they won't harm anyone.

Someone should probably hand him a loaded gun and advise him to use it on himself to end his misery.
