Volunteered at our Democratic booth at our local fair.

This year there was no Republican booth this has to be the first time in as long as I can remember that they did not have a booth, and I have been going for 30 years.

Two years ago they had two booths one was the " young Republicans " booth and one clown was walking around in an American flag suit.

Asked around and heard they could not find enough volunteers.

As part of our local town democratic we all take turns manning the booth.

So my guess is the Republican Committee is a bunch of chickens. Weird since our town is 68% Republicans.....

I've been here about ?5 yrs.

And I think bc describing at a local fair would catch my attention as a different experience vs me in a big(!) city.

Anyway, HA on them Repugs!
Hopefully you got new voters registered.👍

They wanted to own the libs, but ended up as the owned.

Leopards may not be able to change their spots, but they are getting bigger and bigger with all the magafafo voters.

Political party booths do not pay anything at our fair.

On another observation only one maga hat was observed the whole time.

Do I think thet changed their views absolutely not. I do think they are afraid of being mocked.
