The Most Terrifying MAGA-Head Video We’ve Seen: Man Screams ‘I Feel Threatened, Back the F*ck Up!’ When Asked To Wear Mask at FL Costco

By

We tend not to cover stories such as this. Sometimes one can give a false picture of what’s happening in society by continually posting the latest Karen-Kevin outrage. We rarely see video of wonderfully kind small acts. But this one must be covered and seen by as many people as possible because it contains so many different issues confronting society in the summer of 2020, a year that will be studied for generations.

The man in the T-shirt that says “Running the World Since 1776” probably thinks of himself as a patriot, since he enjoys claiming that the U.S. “runs the world,” as if that is the goal. (It isn’t even factually correct, then or now). Right now, most of us would be comforted if our nation could just run itself for god sake. “Running the world” seems like testosterone-driven insecurity.

To make it worse, this white Florida man appears to be a huge Trump supporter because the “mask issue” is confined almost exclusively to Trump supporters. One has to live in a red state to understand the dynamic. MAGA heads have a palpable attitude, “we’re going to ignore this entire pandemic because to do otherwise is to be a PC pussy.” It comes from the top.

Last, obviously is the over the top terrifying hostility, also strongly associated with the MAGA heads. This video alone shows exactly why firearms make society less safe. If this man had a gun, he might have pulled it out as a further show of strength. He might have accidentally shot it, he might have intentionally shot it. Someone might have shot him as he charged at the woman with fists clenched. Indeed, as a legal exercise, one might wonder if this woman had the legal (not moral, but legal) authority to shoot this man as he charged at her in a rage with fists clenched.

We don’t know. All we know is that this behavior proves we’re a nation sowing its own destruction. Because even when we dispose of Donald Trump, and we WILL, this man is still going to be tromping around Florida, probably angrier than ever.

Sorry about this:

Sorry, Florida man, but that meets every legal definition we were ever taught as to the elements of an assault.

Arrest him, then have the court order him into psychological evaluations and therapy.

Peace, y’all
