An Alex Jones InfoWars fan helps me find organic potatoes

by Hal Brown

Here's a story I guarantee you won't see reported anywhere else:

I was headed to our local big grocery store, Fred Meyers, to buy some organic vegetables, and saw a big pick-up truck flying a large American flag and a Don't Tread on Me flag from the back. I didn't have time to take a photo but then thought, while this is not typical in our liberal community, it isn't rare. I thought no big deal.

In particular I wanted to buy some Russet baking potatoes and was disappointed to see that there weren't any in the loose potatoes bin. I asked a clerk it they had any in the back because on another occasion they did. 

Another customer overheard me and showed me that on the other side of the aisle there had lots of bagged Russets. 

Pretty mundane story, you say?

Not really.

A the friendly man who told me about the potatoes...

Hmm, I thought, this must be a super-patriotic MAGA-man. He's a free American, but then again so am I. Presumably unless you are currently incarcerated, you are also a free American.

 Then he turned around so I could read the back. It was even worse. Not only was he a free American but he was a fan of a raving lunatic.

He was wearing an Alex Jones InfoWars t-shirt.

If by chance you don't know who Alex Jones ....

I thought it was worth having an unpleasant verbal confrontation, or worse, to take a few photos. Go ahead, pat me on the back for my courage for the cause of keeping loyal readers of my blog informed and sometimes even entertained.

If push came to shove, I'm not sure that my snarky sharp wit would have served me well. Who knows. This is Portland, which despite the interloping Proud Boys, is known to be peaceful and neighbors with diametrically opposed political views often live next to or across the street from each other. 

This is in Milwaukie not too far from my place.

These houses are across the street from each other in Aurora

Alex Jones has been in the news lately (read stories) over his loss in the Sandy Hook parents lawsuit leading to his having to declare bankruptcy, and his maniacal rants about what he considers an outrage.

I tried to find the exact version he was wearing online but couldn't. Here are some others from ETSY:

I wouldn't expect an Alex Jones fan to also be an organic vegetable eater but this man was only buying organic veggies:

No links below, just some screen shots. Jones made millions from selling this crap.
