Food Lion parking lots and right-wing yahoos

So, I made a quick run to Food Lion to pick up some stuff for dinner last night. I was wearing my replica Aston Villa jersey that looks exactly like this:
One of the things I like about it is rather than a casino– like their current sponsor– or some on-line betting website, etc., the sponsor is Acorns– a children’s hospice in the UK. Didn’t think about the fact that for Fox News viewers, they might think I was supporting the now-defunct radical communist community organization that was looking to completely subvert American democracy. Anyway, I’m pretty sure that was the intent behind the scornful “Acorn?!!” I received from an older white make while walking in to the store to do my shopping.
[For anyone that cares, I'm actually more of an Aresenal fan, but I do like Aston Villa, too.]

But it’s good to always be on the lookout for opportunities to feel superior to others.
You said it.
Oops, did I just do it, too?
