As someone from the south who lives in one of the cities where he held a klan rally—oops, campaign stop, I can assure you that there are several places where his fan club is very much alive and kicking.
You don't have to be in the south to notice that. New Hampshire, Vermont, plenty of northern states are infested
Right. It's several places. My town is one example.
It’s sort of interesting to realize that even though it’s still only May, I haven’t seen much of any campaign signs out. That may change, but I vaguely recall a plethora of yard signs, even in May 2020.
Heck, even the one sign I did see put up - One for RFK that went up in February - was taken down about a month ago.
I sort of feel that everyone is a bit wishy-washy this cycle.
The only signs I'm seeing are at the houses that have had them up since 2016.
Oh, down here in several parts the signs haven't come down since 2016.
I do live in a small city, so that probably factors. When you get out of population centers, you do pretty readily see Trump bumper stickers, other random political messaging on vehicles, and I’m sure if I went into rural towns, I’d see more yard signs.
On a highway outside of town, there was a farm that had a quarter billboard-sized Trump 2016 sign facing the highway from 2016-2020. It was changed to a 2020 one, but after the election, someone spray painted “Pussies” on both sides of it in neon pink marking paint.
It stayed that way for a few months, but now it’s a for sale sign.
The brain worm club?
That’s RFKJ. This is the shitbrain club.
I automatically think your talking about RFK “voters” now.
Same club.
Brain worms and adult diapers club.
Maybe they were onto something with that horse dewormer. Won't do jack shit for COVID, but might for their brain worms.
I feel like that's putting it nicely.
