Something has changed.

I have been wearing anti-Trump T-shirts from the beginning. I always got a few compliments, mostly from women. Most women always hated Trump.

Over the past month or more people have been stopping me, telling me they like my shirts, men and women. The number of compliments has increases dramatically over the past month. People have had enough of Trump, I can see it.

[Freedomofspeech]

1. I hope this is a sign.

[central scrutinizer]

2. I haven't seen any BMI 45 bumper stickers

Admittedly I’m not driving much

[volstork]

11. "BMI 45"

Good one!

[LittleGirl]

26. I use IQ45 same same, lol. nt

[empedocles]

3. Might be time for me to wear my 'FOLLOW THE [putin] MONEY' t- shirt to the gym

[Midnight Writer]

4. I used to have a "Bush Knew" t-shirt that nearly got my ass kicked in a roadhouse bar.

[rurallib]

14. I made a shirt that said "Worst president Ever" during the Bush era

first time I wore it out we went to a Pizza Hut buffet. Actually forgot I had it on.

This big, rough looking guy comes over to our table. "Your shirt" he says "let me shake your hand."

He was followed by about half a dozen others and a message from the cook and the wait staff.

[mwb970]

18. Remember when we thought bush was the worst? Good times.

[Sucha NastyWoman]

29. Yeah, he certainly has been harmless since leaving office.

Makes me feel like I was right along. Bush was just a pretty face who didn’t even have a strong ideology, he just thought it would be cool to be President. Unfortunately, Cheney really was in control of everything for about the first 6 years until Bush figured it out and got pissed and refused to go along sometimes (example, not pardoning Scooter Libby).

Cheney is a ruthless ideological conservative who did a lot of bad things. But even he doesn’t measure up to Trumps vile evilness -a failed human being.

[mwb970]

32. At least we did not have to endure Palin in the White House.

One good thing about bush was that he did not have a racist bone in his body. ALL of trump is racist.

[Sucha NastyWoman]

33. Hard to say who is more obnoxious

Last edited Sat Jul 4, 2020, 04:31 PM - Edit history (1)

Sarah Palinmor Mike Spence. Maybe she had a higher frequency of obnoxiousness, but the quality is about the same.

[mwb970]

38. She was better looking, and had those cool glasses.

I also loved her Carhartt jackets. Out of my price range, though.

[lastlib]

5. What are your sources for these T-shirts?

[Firestorm49]

6. My man, you've got balls! Good for you.

Where I live I’d be ridden out of town on a rail.

[TreasonousBastard]

7. Yes, we are finally seeing the tipping point.

[Bayard]

8. I had to go out for some must-run errands yesterday

Drove past one house that must have had 4 huge trump flags flying. Saw one car with, "trump 2020" soaped all over the rear window.

I'm wondering if I should take my life in my hands and put out Biden and McGrath signs. My husband hid my Biden bumper sticker so I couldn't put it on the truck. He doesn't want the tires slashed.

[mwb970]

17. The old lady across the street here still has her trump flag flying.

Today she added an American flag. She obviously has no realization of the irony.

[Sucha NastyWoman]

25. Same with me.

I bought a “Bye Don” bumper sticker but I can tell my husband is real uncomfortable with it, though he hates Trump. Maybe closer to the election if I start to see more bumper stickers, I’ll put on?

[LuvNewcastle]

27. That's why I don't have a Biden sticker on my car.

I'm not worried about any of my neighbors, I don't want them getting slashed at the Walmart parking lot. Just can't afford to buy new ones.

[american_ideals]

41. Use magnetic stickers and just put them on when you are driving

Also, don’t walk by anyone with a Trump shirt on or flag out without saying “that’s a shirt for suckers... who haven’t figured out yet that GOP billionaires are lying to them.”

[niyad]

52. I just say, "It's so helpful when idiots self-identify".

[MyMission]

9. Here's another example

My right wing evangelical co-worker, a 70 yr old female, told me rump was wrong to hold rally, said he did it to feed his ego at the expense of people's lives. Repeated several times "he was wrong." (Music to my ears)

And She said this when I jokingly asked if she planned to attend any of his rallys, as we were discussing and agreeing with the importance of wearing masks. She is very fearful of covid and wears a mask religiously. Lol. Also her daughter is an RN in Mississippi, so she gets first hand reports and good medical advice.

She gave her notice last week, felt vulnerable and uncomfortable coming in contact with some customers who refuse to wear masks. This was before our governor ordered masks are required, not just recommended. We work in a retail setting. Our bosses supply us with 4 ply cotton masks, which will provide more protection than single or double ply.

Can't say she won't vote for him again, but maybe she'll vote for Biden or just not vote.
That was my impression.

Glad to hear and see some folks finally seeing his incompetence, and how he requires ego stroking at the expense of people's lives, and really does not lead well, and does not care, or cares only for himself.

[paleotn]

13. Case in point....

behind recent polling that shows at 20 percentage point flip for 65 and over voters compared to 2016. I guess the very real threat of dying a horrible death, while the person you voted for obviously doesn't give a shit has a way of doing that.

[Shermann]

10. I hate to hear about older employees being forced out of the workplace this way

Many won't be quite prepared for retirement, but will enter early retirement anyway.

EDIT: this was a response to #9

[MyMission]

45. She'd wanted to cut her hours even before covid

Because her IRA income recently kicked in at 70 1/2, and she was concerned that her increased income would make her ineligible for a program where she gets an expensive medicine at a greatly subsidized rate.

So she already wanted to leave, or reduce hours. And she is especially nervous, anxious and concerned about getting the virus. Says if she got it she's sure it would kill her, as she has many preexisting conditions, is overweight ( not by much), and is over 70. Being so fearful isn't good for her, physically or emotionally.

And she can afford to not work. I know some elders need to work to supplement income, and many also work to remain productive, useful, or have social interactions, but this co-worker's not going to be strained financially. She does do zoom meetings from church, but has not been to services even though they resumed almost 2 months ago.

But you're right, many elders and people of all ages have been forced to make some hard choices regarding working and feeling (somewhat) safe. Since older folks are more at risk for death, they may choose to retire from their part time job for safety reasons.

I feel especially bad for the ones that don't have internet access, because zoom, YouTube, etc. have helped to keep folks connected.

[paleotn]

12. I think his schtick has grown stale...

People are tired of his antics and his crazy shit, particularly in the face of a national crises that's literally killing people. For some, it's just not funny, interesting or view worthy anymore. I hope some have discovered that voting is a very serious matter, not to be taken lightly and never, EVER to be used as a protest. It's a dangerous world out there and leadership of our country is not the place for nut-o-rama or amateur hour. A pity 130K+ Americans had to die before many our our citizens got their collective heads out of their asses.

[DesertRat]

15. Where are you?

I'm in a maga-filled city in Arizona where I encounter trump flags, signs and bumper stickers daily.

[shockey80]

35. Upstate New York., the county I live in leans Republican.

For the most part they are somewhat sane.

[american_ideals]

42. I'm jealous. There are no MAGAts here for me to call out

I say “that’s a hat for suckers” whenever I see MAGA gear. But my area the MAGAts are unwilling to show their faces.

I wish I lived in an area with more! Jealous of the opportunity you have to personally make a difference.

[mwb970]

16. Trump Fatigue is real. We all feel it.

Basically, enough is enough.

[louis-t]

19. As more and more people get sick or know someone

that died or got sick, it will sink in. He's out golfing and saying it will just go away. It will hit closer and closer to home. Now Jr's wife has it. What's it gonna take?

edit: girlfriend, whatever.

[cwydro]

20. Wow, you're braver than I.

I don't go out nearly enough for anyone to notice any t-shirt I might be wearing.

[shockey80]

37. I have about ten anti-Trump T-shirts I have been wearing since the beginning.

It was my way of protesting and I did not give a shit what Trump voters thought. I got some dirty looks over the years but not one Trump voter ever said anything to me, cowards?

[Sucha NastyWoman]

21. Seems true even in Texas, I can feel a change

Except for the jacked-up pickup truck guys, they’ll never change.

[MRDAWG]

22. Where do you live? Here in

North Georgia I am afraid to wer my Biden 2020 mask.

[TheDemsshouldhireme]

23. I just ordered a t-shirt

that says hey a#@hole, just wear the damn mask. Im in the Alabama part of Pennsylvania and I cant wait to wear it. I'll be ordering a Biden bumper sticker and yard sign soon. You can put the bumper sticker in your back window and take it down when you park if you are worried about vandalism. I had a Obama sticker and yard sign, but nothing in 16. Courage is contagious and it's time for us Dems to start flying the colors. I guarantee the trumpers will begin saying.....man Im seeing more an more Biden signs.

[Fritz Walter]

24. Here's mine

Mine is forest-green, not black.

It's several years old and the first time I wore it, I got some weird comment from a waiter at a favorite restaurant here in Jacksonville. Time to break it out again.

Meanwhile, I planted a campaign sign for Donna Deegan -- a 3x cancer survivor who runs a foundation -- and is running against Representative(!) John "Barney Fife" Rutherford. On my daily walks through the neighborhood I see a LOT of Donna yard signs around. Haven't seen the first Rutherford yard sign. Even so, when I got it, I bought two of them -- in case the first one is vandalized or removed. (My little secret: the sign is within view and range of my Ring doorbell-camera. If anyone touches it, I'm going to post that video on social media sites and ask the city to investigate). So far, so good!

[Loge23]

28. Thank you for your courage!

Wear it well, my friend!

[shockey80]

39. This is what some of my T-shirts say.

Repeal and replace Trump.

Trump is the Swamp.

Trumps brain should be donated to science.

Trumpism is the kool-aid that poisons the mind.

Veterans against Trump.

Disinfect Trump.

[tavernier]

30. No mask, no brain, no service.

My favorite store sign so far.

[Dukkha]

31. Like cockroaches his supporters are scurrying back into darkness

now that the inescapable light has been shown on all of his inept failures and treasonous corruption.

[Demovictory9]

34. k&r

[keithbvadu2]

36. Folks like your anti-Trump shirt? Live with it!

?itemid=16784867

[Larissa]

40. People are flat out numb with exhaustion

The endless dismantling of protections of Americans and of our environment; the endless corruption from A to Z; the endless ways Trump has devised ways to line his pockets with U.S. Treasury cash (renting golf carts to the Secret Service in order to protect his as$?, among other things); the idiotic, blatant daily lies in the face of the obvious truth; the utter indifference to the health and well-being of the American people, such as destroying regulations to protect the environment in countless ways, his ongoing efforts to destroy the Affordable Care Act to be replaced with nothing but GOP hot gas; the locking up of children in cages; the willful waste of billions on a ridiculous border wall that will never be completed; his blatant racism, misogyny, et al; the dumbing down of government agencies by banishing career professionals and replacing them with clueless political hacks; the hollowing out of the State Department; the destruction of America's relationship with crucial allies; the trashing of international treaties for world peace; the complete inaction and paralysis towards the management of the Coronavirus pandemic in this country; the utter atrocity of Trump's claims that he's saved lives from the virus while so many Americans suffer untold grief for lost loved ones; Trump's ongoing career as a traitor and Putin suck up, who willfully looked the other way as American soldiers were slaughtered by Putin/Afghan bounty hunters.

Trump will *never* live down his legacy as being the worst president in the history of the United States of America. Hasta la vista, Bunker B!tch!

[mdbl]

43. I live in Rural Georgia where I still see a lot of CHUMP - DENCE signs

err, I mean Trump - Pence

[Awsi Dooger]

44. My suburban neighborhood in South Florida is loaded with Trump/Spence signs

I saw many more tonight while walking around watching fireworks.

I have not seen one Biden sign. There was a nearby "Any Functioning Adult 2020" yard sign last week, but tonight it was gone. I thought that was risky placement because a police officer lives next door. In fact, the sign was on that side of the yard and basically pointed at the swale where the patrol car is always parked.

[mdbl]

46. We have to make sure those without the signs get out and vote

otherwise it's another 4 years of dismantling our democracy.

[malaise]

47. Yep

He's going down and taking the rest of ReTHUGs with him

[North Shore Chicago]

48. Ran into my

"Meet The Fuckers" t-shirt the other day depicting a photo of Bush the dimmer and heartless-Cheney. I smiled.

[Joinfortmill]

49. You are brave to wear that tee

I live in the South and I sometimes think I'm brave for wearing a mask, but I watch where I go.

[drray23]

50. mainly depends on your stature

If you are a big burly guy its easier. Trumpers are not particularly brave.

[Roy Rolling]

51. It Started in 2015

The last part may be the most dangerous.

Since Trump is a coward, he will Likely just slink off in the middle of the night leaving the followers of Trumpism without a Trump.

[niyad]

53. There is a junk store in the neighborhood that used to have a huge trump 2020 sign that

covered one large window. No longer there.

She has another sign that does amuse. Me: "this ain't no museum. This junk is for sale"

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

54. You've got more guts than I do.

I'm afraid of TrumpNuts.

[shockey80]

55. I am not afraid because I know I am right.

Last edited Sun Jul 5, 2020, 01:44 PM - Edit history (1)

When you are right about something you cannot let fear get in your way of speaking out, doing something about it. In that way, I have always been fearless.

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

56. I admire that.

[Evolve Dammit]

57. Awesomely said. And I hope your obervations are a predictor.
