Replace "I just want to grill" with someone's weird uncle who lives alone and just wants to walk his dogs and play guitar and hates politics
...or with someone's cousin who just wants to surf or ski and make Instagram selfies and doesn't like the idea of his food being messed with or his travel intercepted no matter what politics he told those cute girls he met the other day
...or with the middle aged woman next door who just wants to buy more ugly owl lawn ornaments and put bows on her weird blue eared fluffy chickens but she's watching her sister slide into a deranged mental illness supporting people who are clearly bad people based on the video her husband saw, and she keeps awkwardly ending conversations not knowing what to say
...or her husband who is already raging that he can't play pool on Friday nights with the fellas because of china flu, and not only is football ruined, but he fires up the twitter and the facebook on the ipad and sees this shit going on.
...or the overworked college professor who just wants to teach some tards algebra and go home, and is already sick of the overbearing political environment of the university, and now sees the harassment spreading outside of it. Now you can get accused of racism for eating, something she often did too much of due to anxiety, which was greatly increased due to three students complaining about "racism" to the dean after failing their first algebra exam (despite likely cheating).
...or the young woman who just wants to make dough selling ugly handmade crafts on etsy and her boyfriend who just wants to get rich quick on crypto schemes and who both just want to chase money and have never experienced fear of political violence in their lives before and it's now slowly filling them with dread.
...or someone's grandma who would rather watch beekeeping and canning videos than Tucker Carlson but now the sky is red, and someone at the dollar store said antifa was setting fires and that *does* makes sense since she heard something about them liking fire a lot, and now she's freaking out and calling her family.
...the stressed out and jaded attorney that just wants to visit his sick mother in Portland and already has enough to worry about without worrying about "NEENER NEENER BLACK LIVES MATTER", but because of them he doesn't know if he should bring his kids in town with him to see Granny. Maybe he can blame Covid for now so they won't complain about staying home?
...an annoying internet friend who just wants to convince you to join a minecraft server even though you have no time who suddenly left two online friend groups absolutely ranting because he couldn't stand their communism anymore. He previously in the last five years never mentioned politics outside of rarely posting some super tame memes.
I don't actually know these examples except for the minecraft guy, but I think they are a nice scrambled up approximation the kind of people I do know suddenly who are suddenly concerned about the information contained in the past 5000 pages. When I see "just want to grill", this is the sort of thing that phrase actually brings to mind for me if I really think.
Apparently it is a REALLY REALLY bad idea to threaten mess with an American's experience of restaurant dining or roadtrips if you don't want to inspire widespread hatred. Especially after coronavirus.
