Cancel your membership. Tell them you don't like being harassed by some rando schmuck about politics when you just want to get your swole on. Encourage your friends to do the same.

He said bought a 9mm because a Trump supporter might rape his daughter?
 He sounds straight up mentally unstable. I'd get him booted |

I wouldn't have made it past the first tirade before moving out of the communication zone- permanently- and I'm fairly liberal. Gyms and jobs are for working out and earning not these types of discussions.

Quoted: 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? Piss on his treadmill to exert dominance. |

What whould he do if you were doing the exact same thing to him? He would probably get you kicked out of the gym for harassing him.
Do the same. Time to stop not saying or doing anything and let these fuckers get away with it. Time to play their game and show them that we can play it better. |

Ignore??? Fuck that. Talk to the owner, that fag will shut up quick. You pay to work out without having to be harassed.... By ignoring, you're empowering him and validating his actions, just like all other leftists. They want you to shut up and die.

I'm not a huge fan of snitching generally, but this guy is clearly creating a terrible environment for the other customers, and management might want to be aware of it if they don't want their customers deciding to go to another gym just to avoid that guy. If it was my business I wouldn;t want someone in there doing that.

Id ignore him. If he persists, then tell him to fuck off. This is why I do not speak with anyone outside of my very small inner circle of like minded individuals. Remember he is the enemy and is responsible for the problems we face today. |

I doubt that the homies who are more likely to rape his daughter are Republicans.
You should ask him how the woman who Joe fingered against her will, or the female Secret Service agents he waved his dick at, felt about being subjected to that by a Democrat. I would tell the guy that you have a hard and fast rule of not discussing politics while working out. |

Play by their rules. Record videos. Make sure to set him up really good so he becomes extra unhinged and says extra nazi rhetoric. Give to gym management. Post on any social media platform you can. Do your best to make it go viral.
Send to his employer. Like I said, play by their rules. |

3. Something else -
Sounds like a guy you could sway to the dark side since he bought a gun for home protection. Ask him why he needs an auto 9mm with so many rounds when a 5 shot revolver is all the rounds anyone would ever need. Shouldn't the government ban high capacity magazines like most 9mms take? It might amuse you to hear a liberal defend the 2A with some traditional reverse psychology. |
