Thank you for your response. I agree with what you wrote. In this situation I was feeling good and made a joke about media coverage of the Wuhan flu. The joke went over their heads and they turned it around to "Trump's fault".

These last 3 or 4 years I have pretty much stopped trying to red pill people and when I made my joke I wasn't even thinking about the President. I think that is why this side swiped me and took me by surprise. I have been keeping to myself and when I came out my shell in public it went pear shaped on me.
