30. I see a periodic trumplican in my mostly centrist

Apr 20

to slightly left Democratic and very racially mixed neighbourhood, but not lately. Then the other day I saw a classic in the parking lot of the gym where I go. Huge black Escalade parked off center so it took up a whole parking space and part of another, with a Trump worship bumper sticker with some more Trump/gopper decal rubbish stuck onto the windows, and who did I see approaching it, a very young woman wearing a MAGA hat with gold bling and a Trump worship shirt. She was so tiny she would have needed a stepladder to get into that big slogwagon, which may have explained the crap parking job.

Usually I just see old white guys wearing cranky T-shirts with whiny logos and driving TDS trucks with compensatory gun propaganda all over them. I NEVER see tool boxes, tackle or any kind of work gear or haulage in the back of these trucks, as would someone who actually, you know, uses them for other than driving five blocks to the store.

I'd say here the level hasn't really changed much, but it was never very high.
