Mass attendance and behavior

So yes, I can well believe a twice a week mass-goers might have no filter and be super judgey about others.

(Basically, it's Ms. Marple's old lady friends from her village all over again.)

So OP starts a thread to judge mass goers and you (perhaps you're OP) slam mass goers with nasty adjectives. The irony. (And yes, I saw above where you say you it's because you have a filter something something, but that's just toddler-speak for "I'm right and you're wrong.")

Do you ever consider pausing your attendance to Mass until you reflect on your actions? Do you think attending Mass 2x per week makes you a good person?

Are there really enough people who behave like this to justify a thread? It seems oddly specific.

There are already 2 pages of responses, (counting yours). I suggest not commenting in the future unless you have something useful to say.

I’m Op, and posted once. Not judging all Mass goers, just the ones who come out of the parish being rude and acting trumpish.

Is this question particular to your parish or to all? To regular Mass goers or all Mass goers? Only to Catholics? How about judgey Muslims, Jews, etc.?

Maybe you're mainly mad at people with whom you share a religion voting for someone you disapprove of and acting like him too.

Maybe you figured good Catholics could never vote for Trump, an atheist. Most atheists don't like him either

Sounds like it's both a political and a religious issue. There is sometimes overlap. I understand that a lot of religious people voted for Trump.

You have to ignore these types of people. It's very possible they will regret their actions but obviously do not right now. There are many hypocrites and pharisee-types out there. And when I say ignore, I mean resllu ignore. They are not your friend. Do not engage or listen to this talk. Say hello and move on. If it's someone you have to talk to or family, change the subject again and again or defend the person: "Actually i think her hairstyle looks great." And yes, they are judging you too.

I go 2x a week because I teach at a parochial school so I attend weekly mass with my class and then Sunday mass with my family.

I genuinely don’t give a single thought to others attending mass with me on Sunday mass other than wishing them peace & happiness. I think it’s odd that you think this of the parishioners. I’ve never even thought to worry someone may be judging me, my hair, my clothes, or my car at mass.

Many moons ago I had a friend who attended Mass every Sunday. She and her mom had the habit of criticizing “friends” and acquaintances once they got out of the chapel. The following days, both my friend and her mom would call their victims to invite them to the yard pool, and lunch. Once their guests left, the mom & daughter duo badmouthed again.
Why do people reach such level of stupidity and hypocrisy?

Why do people go online "many moons" later to trash "friends" they used to know "many moons ago"? Some people are just broken.

Because people need more examples of hypocrisy while thinking they become saints by attending Mass routinely.
