What was she trying to infer about the Yeti cups?
She wanted your body, Johnny.

"when you're happy you enjoy the melody but, when you're broken you understand the lyrics".
I won't exaggerate and claim that I coughed up the beer that I was drinking all over my keyboard; but it was close.
Your kind (and all of our kind), while hated, are a bit of curiosity for those extreme liberals that have never actually met one of us. They have been told that we are a problem for our society; without being told exactly why we're a problem or why what we stand for is a problem.
She was probing. Probing occurs when new knowledge is desired or when reinforcement of existing knowledge is desired.
Despite her self-righteousness, brazenness and ignorance, she was engaging you.
Some around here might tell you to mouth off at her, ignore her, or fire off a funny one-liner at her.
But you have to realize that that woman is clay. Soft. Formless. No opinions of her own. Regurgitating what she has been told.
Buy her the stupid coffee she ordered (and her man-servant) and give her your name and number and invite her to come shooting with you some time. Do it while putting up a friendly smile and asking questions about their lives and what they're up to 'today'.
She may or may not take you up on the offer (and you may not even want to deliver on it), but she will second guess her thoughts every time someone else tells her that YOU are what is wrong with everything in her world.
It works. I've done it. Try it.

Understood and appreciated.
'Fuck'em' is MUCH easier than 'fix em'.
'Fix em' takes more time and effort. And I understand that your time is valuable.
Just recognize that the tactics I listed above are being used against everyone else that is 'clay' - in one form or another.

I admire your sentiment, I really do. But I only have so much time in life, and I have found it mostly wasted on those who have already formed an opinion. You can educate the ignorant, you can sway the open minded. You will not change the mind of someone who's opinion is firmly set. The best you will get, and seldom at that, is someone who now believes you are ok to own a gun, but everyone else still isn't. I will grant you that I certainly don't know whether this woman could be swayed. I do know that I would not be the one to do it, particularly before I've had my Grande Flat White.
Perhaps that I was in the 1%?
Uniform of our industry. Never go to Target when you're wearing the red one, or Walmart when you are wearing the blue.
