I've decided to make a NYE resolution that will help others with their problems

This year when I talk to troubled and misinformed people, I'll always ask: "Just what the fuck is wrong with you?".
I've been saying that for a while anyway.

I read somewhere a good comment to use if some crazed MAGAt starts ranting to me about something.

I’ve had the experience of them walking up to me in a store or parking lot and start spouting their shit. Maybe they think because I am a mature white woman I must be in agreement with their views. I don’t want to antagonize them further but I don’t want to stay silent, either. So I just look at them quizzically and say, “Are you all right? Is there someone I can call for you?”

They all grew to fine adults, but did things as kids that made me shake my head.
