I Don’t Think Trump’s Remaining Supporters Realize How Much They Are Despised By Non-MAGA Voters - Above the Law (abovethelaw.com)

Early last week, I was at the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library for its first weekend. At the library itself, despite President Donald Trump inserting himself incongruously into the opening ceremonies, I did not see a single person sporting a Trump-branded clothing item.

The town of Medora, North Dakota, itself was, however, a different story. It wasn’t overwhelming. But for someone who lives in an urban center of a blue state, where even in the ruby red rural areas most people have become sufficiently shamed to shut up about their MAGA tendencies, a single errant MAGA cap is a rarity.

Their entire world is built around being the 'righteous asshole'.

In my town they would plaster their trucks with stickers, fly Trump and Confederate flags, then drive around blocking traffic and saying "Fuck You!" to the rest of the world. One good thing about Trump's $6 gas is it has them doing a lot less driving around lately.
