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.

So this guy has been harassing people for three months and nobody's done a thing about it? He may be unhinged, but the rest of y'all are enablers.

And you're worried about how to respectfully request that he maybe not bother you pretty please? No fucking wonder we're losing. The left walks all over us.

You pay to use this gym, right?

Go to the management and tell them he is making your time there unpleasant along with a description of his behavior and the names of other customers that have had to deal with him. Most gyms aren’t super sympathetic to liberals given the Covid lockdown situation so you might see some action.
