I haven't seen a Trump bumper sticker, yard sign or flag since Jan 6 th. They were ubiquitous up until the 6th. Back in Oct they were everywhere. The most obnoxious were the big pickup trucks sporting double Trump flags tucked into each corner next to the tailgate. These flags were 3 ft by 5 ft. When the truck was moving at a good clip, they would flap feverishly down the road. It looked like one ginormous heavy bird trying to become air borne. If it ever made it up into the great beyond, it would have been a sight to behold. I've seen these trucks for the last 4 mos. But not lately. I drove by a rich person house yesterday, he always had a Trump sign that looked like it was part of the mailbox pedestal. The sign totally disappeared. Today I saw my first Trump bumper sticker. Still holding on for dear life to the bumper. It was a construction pickup.
Back in 2017, there was a photo of a military transport on an interstate in the midwest, affixed to one the truck's rear was a Trump flag flapping in the air. I said oh oh, it's going to be a rough 4 years ahead.
Then came the wall. Did Mexico pay for it? That's a big NO. They took money from the military and gave it to the wall builders. The Mexicans bought battery operated Sawzalls and cut thru it. They also made ladders to climb over it. And of course digging tunnels under it. Then pressuring Ukraine. Then impeachment. Then the botched covid response and unnecessary deaths. New Zealand did it, good response minimal infections. They got on it from the get go. Yes they have less people but they took the bull by the bull horns. Our response team in China was removed by Trump. No valuable information was forthcoming. It was the worse response among all countries. We pay the price to this day. Me too movement, George Floyd and kids in cages. What was the common denominator? Add it all up, it spells Trump.
Hopefully we will survive all this and be better off in the future days. When you get through a close call in life, say like a car accident. You are so gratefull. You may say something like, Thankyou God! The last 4 yrs have seen many car crashes. Hopefully soon I will be able to breathe again! Hopefully common sense will return with civility.
