Report hostile behavior to management. They should suspend his account for confronting people

I don't think I've ever spoken to anyone at the gym except to say excuse me or thanks.

Having a full on political conversation at the GYM? That's just weird. Da fuk

Liberals discovering the people around them that voted for Trump are like Boomers discovering the people around them that smoke weed.


They think it's some distant boogie man, hiding in the shadows, raping your dogs.

That's kind of my point, weed smokers everywhere, the non smokers thought NO ONE was smoking except hippies, meanwhile Susie homemaker was high as fuck.



Just like Liberals think only actual Nazis vote for Trump, except they're surrounded by them and don't know it.  Friends, family, siblings, bosses, coworkers, etc.

I need the hives thoughts!

There’s a toxic liberal at my gym.  Practically every day he’s been in the gym for the past three months he wants to talk politics, ranting & raving, cussing up a storm like it proves his point more, about Trump and his supporters.  He’s said “true Americans vote democrat”, that he “bought a 9mm because some Trump supporter might rape his daughter”, “people who support Trump are nazis”, and that “no true Christian would support Trump.”

I’ve never engaged before and he had no idea I was a conservative until... I told him to his face when he asked last weekend who I voted for after one of his usual tirades.  It blew his mind that I wasn’t liberal; he had no idea and didn’t see that coming lol.  

Now I’m not at the gym to talk except saying the usual friendly things to the regulars you see all the time.  I’m there to workout as it’s a gym, not a chat session.  

I think it’s a safe bet that he’s going to keep bringing it up as he said last week he’s going out of his way to “call out” anyone who supported President Trump.  He got into a cussing match with one other member that I’ve heard of over it, but I wasn’t there that day.  

I’m thinking, nope, you’re not going to heckle me.  My beliefs are not up for debate to anyone, least of all to someone like him.

When he brings it up this weekend I plan to tell him that it’s a gym, not a political forum, that I’m there to workout, and ask him if he can respect my wishes and agree to disagree.  Something tells me this unhinged fellow isn’t going to leave it be.

Should I:
1. Ignore him, put the headphones in, and workout.  
2. Quietly record audio of him lose his mind & play it to management and get his membership terminated - which would likely lead to me having to switch gyms since I don’t want my car vandalized as he’ll know it was me.  Recording laws in my state appear to allow this.
3. Something else?

My thoughts exactly and how I’ve operated over the last three months.  I just workout and he brings it up anytime he’s nearby.  I was honestly laughing inside that he was so clueless that I had the opposite beliefs as him.  

I usually don’t wear headphones when lifting, just during cardio.  Guess I’ll need to change that.

No. stop turning the other cheek and ignoring these assholes. It's time to fight dirty like they do. Get him thrown out of the gym, get him fired and red flag him.  It's no less than he'd gleefully do to any one of us.

If you want to screw with him, laugh at him whenever he starts spouting his crap. Make fun of him and say you feel sorry for him, it must be tough to be so emotionally screwed up that he has to say those things...

I'd fuck with him.

Next time you see him, tell him you voted Biden and you don't know what the hell he's talking about.
Week after that, tell him you're a proud Trump supporter and you don't know what he's talking about.
Week after that, say Biden is already looking to be the greatest POTUS of all time and will be even better than Obama.
After that....

Well you get the idea. He won't know what to believe. If he calls you out on this? "Shit, I didn't know my twin brother started working out here too!!"

Tell him it's still a free country (despite the efforts of the people he votes for), and that you're not going to get in his face and harass him with your views.    But that if he harasses you, you will have him "canceled", because you are there to work out and not get harassed by anyone, no matter their beliefs or opinions.

Talk to management about him.  You feel he is threatening you and other gym members.  Mention the issue of the gym's liability if he attacks anyone, since now they know that he has threatening behavior and is verbally abusing members.

Yep, say something subtle to set him off. Biden's a Pedo, Kamala became VP on her knees, etc etc.
