The greatest injustice here is that the son had to wait for his hosedown.

[timothyyoung]

"Why should that bother me?" Is always the one phrase that sets my MAGA father off when he goes on one of his rants. It's easy. It's effective. It's gold.

[hellogoditsmesara]

a similar situation happened to my dad, a Republican canvasser came to our house and my dad told them the candidate “didn’t align with our Christian values”

[WardyLion]

“Why should I be mad about that?”

“Because making people mad and hateful is the only way we can get then to vote for us.”

[OsirisMalkovich]

The party of 'Small Government' sure seems to have trouble minding their own business.

[davidstorrs]

The only unrealistic part of this was that the Republican actually accepted facts.

[TheDanishGuyReviews]

"If immigration's happening now, why should I be mad about it?"

"Because you see, this time they're brown."

[Lv-nqqz]

The "why should that bother me" argument ended a friendship of like 10 years when said (former) friend went on a rant about vegan school lunch options, even though he didn't have kids, and this took place in a city he neither lived nor worked in. Trump told him to be mad about it, so he was.

I had a R. canvasser come by recently. I told him I hadn't voted for a Republican since they propagandized heavily against the Equal Rights Amendment--and that apparently I can hold a grudge for 50 years.

[samwill]

Republicans do not respond well to "Why should that bother me?"

[djalexander]

unrealistic, the republican let you finish your thoughts

[MidgarMerc]

This isn't even a progressive. It's a rational person.

A few years back the GOP House candidate for our district (and his wife) came to our front door and started talking about how US healthcare was top notch. I'm a healthcare researcher who's worked in 57 countries, so I said (as kindly as I could) "Any country that spends 17% of the largest GDP in the world in healthcare but gets less access and worse clinical outcomes than all other OECD countries is not 'top notch' in any way."
My plan was to leave it at that, wish him good luck and go back to my book, but he (a defense contractor with zero background on healthcare or statistics) started arguing that my analysis was flawed. My wife came to the front door and said "If you really want to have this discussion, I need a few minutes to make popcorn and watch my husband wipe the floor with you."
They smiled sheepishly and went to the house next door after that.
He got creamed in the election too.

Trans kids parents also pay school taxes.

[Kermit-The-Smaug]

“How do you feel about your tax dollars being spent to make trans students feel safe in school?”

“Shouldn’t all student be allowed to feel safe in school? How would making trans students feel safe ad costs?”

[LLY]

At this point I'm okay with and have accepted giving up my AR if it means keeping the GOP out of power. I was, at one point, a near-single-issue gun rights voter.
My entire family is voting blue for the first time. The GOP have no idea how much they've hollowed out their own base - the only good news for my family and I is that how insane they've become woke us up to how blinded and misguided we were.

[crystalmanta]

If you hadn't said the son was 24, I'd have thought the plot twist would be the son is a dog.

[ferdievanschalkwyk]

Thats not even a progressive voter. Thats what the moderate voter used to be.

[marc]

"We are tough on crime, but we want to oppose common sense gun laws"

If you oppose common sense gun laws, you are supporting criminals. Pick one, you can't be both.

[Gir]

It's even funnier when you tell them you're a liberal AND a gun owner. They don't really know how to respond to that.
