True or False: "I can ALWAYS spot a Republican/Trumper"

Even without an obvious MAGA hat, Confederate flag, or "Fuck Your Feelings" t-shirt... there's just some undefinable something about Republicans and Trump supporters that I'm able to instinctively spot.

So often they just have this "look" about themselves. Is it their clothes? Is it hair-style or hair-color? Makeup or lack-of? Teeth or lack-of? Behavior?

For me, I guess it's not one single tell-tale sign... but a combination of things that guide me to that conclusion.

because, unless I ask them, I won't know for sure. It's like judging a book by its cover.

On the other hand, I like to think I can spot them. Just yesterday, I said to myself, "That guy has to be a MAGAt."

Unmasked in a store? Check
Baseball cap? Check
Beard (male) or smoker's mouth (female) ? Check
Offensive T-shirt? Check

Check any two of those boxes and I assume you're a Trumpie.

Like they haven't had a good poop in years. I guess that's what conservatives are conserving. It shows.

But I've been kind of surprised by some of the cultists I've run across... Just not what I expected.

Unless they take the action to wear a MAGA hat, display a Confederate flag or wear a "Fuck Your Feelings" t-shirt or are vocal about what they think, I can't tell.

... when I'm personally observing them. But even in photos where they're not doing anything except looking into the camera for their official congressional photo... the Republicans have this "look" about themselves that belies their belief that they are superior.

has been kind of fun is how they have eventually tended to feel me out, as I am the new neighbor as of about two years ago. Got a few bbq/dinner invitations at first, but those have mostly dried up. It is really somewhat inexplicable, as I do have a sparkling personality, engaging wit and of course loads of humilty....bwahahaha.
Suck it Trumpy neighbors! Just wait until I plant my Sunshine Mimosa ground cover and it runs over there and strangles your stupid St. Augustine sod. (See....I am so loveable)....
