My small backwater community was invaded Saturday
Feb 24, 2020, 8:16 AM
|
|
while I was away in the big city.
Some small girl walking around with a backpack knocked on everyone's door to talk to them about Bernie Sanders. That was perhaps what caused their brain cells to fizzle out. They couldn't believe she was walking and not driving.
This little kid didn't know what was about to happen in my extremely conservative, Trump ball licking little community.
Unfortunately I was not around to aid her in her journey of who to absolutely not talk to and that got her doors slammed in her face, rude, sexist, racist comments hurled her way. How do I know? These people bragged about it on facebook.
All because of a political candidate they don't agree with and a President who has a base who's sole identity is hinged on trolling.

dem candidates. Makes sense. Was Hillary in 2016. Bernie today. They seem to think my name is Lawton. Just makes me that much less likely to vote for whoever they're spamming me with. I recoil at that crap.

He’s got a loud giant Chevy and he drives around with a Trump flag all of the time.
He’s like 17 and I think is just trying to get a rise out of people, but we laugh from neighbors porch as we drink beer and watch the kids play in his yard as this kid drives by 6 times.

Advice for anybody who is knocking on doors:
Feb 24, 2020, 9:01 AM
|

Grow some thick skin and prepare yourself for a ton of rejection and rude behavior. Expecting anything else is totally naive, no matter your cause. Especially when it comes to politics, people don't want to be bothered by you. Right or wrong, just know that your mere presence at their front door, interrupting their day with a political view that they strongly disagree with, will not be well received. When it comes to Bernie, he is a socialist calling for a revolution, and is turning a lot of traditional American values upside down. He is a radical, so expect radical reactions from those who oppose him. If you are bothered, triggered, or wounded by that, then you need to find another line of work or another way to support your candidate. I hope that helps.

I think folks should be able to answer the door and smile
Feb 24, 2020, 10:10 AM
|

and simply say, "I'm not interested in hearing about ( whatever ) now."
And, the person at the door should be able to smile and say, "Ok, thank you, have a nice day."
And that should be the end of it...

I'm always nice that way, but the door knockers rarely are.

Besides, if people are promoting what some regard as harmful to our country (politics, religion, etc.), they should fully expect some unpleasant reactions. They are engaging complete strangers, on the strangers' private property, in a very controversial topic. Another thing; we have a "No Soliciting" policy in our neighborhood, with signs clealry posted. People who choose to ignore that don't give a rat's #### about kindness or respect, and don't desrve it themselves.

earn to do with as we see fit instead of sending it to bureaucrats in Washington to #### away on pie in the sky projects and other #### that isn't even theoretically feasible.
I've got a lot of bridges to sell you folks who don't think the middle class would get fleeced under Bernie bros rule.

I'd say less than 25% of houses does anyone actually answer the door, anymore.

50% of houses are behind on bills.

The other 25% don't want a sales pitch or to listen to the Jehovas witness.
Funny, I knock on doors often as well. In trailer parks and what not. Some people say they're "NOT INTERESTED!!!" as they yell through the door. I say "I'm not selling anything". They then yell back "the check's in the mail!". I yell back "I'm not a bill collector". Then they usually yell "GO AWAY THEN!"
I just pet their pit bull on the logging chain and walk off.

I am not saying yes. There are democrats who are emotional #####, too. But I DO think that Democratic people would be LESS rude to her.
