It has to be a sign

For the past 2 years, there has been a Trump store in a nearby strip mall. I hardly ever saw people going in and out.

Well, I went by the strip mall today, and it's shut down and long gone. It put a big smile on my face. No more Trump shit all over the windows, etc.

It has to be a sign. And I don't think it's because he's on his last term.

It just has to be a sign. Like perhaps "better things are coming".

Almost 1 year from the midterms.

We need to take the house, senate and impeach him out of office.
(I would think it's on someone's plate already)

They left the metal detector installed at the front door. But seeing that building vacant was worth it all. I'm still smiling.

I would think businesses in that area are back to normal traffic.

Hold strong. The death throws of a wannabe dictatorship might be as painful as a real one's.

But I think we'll come out better in the end. Perhaps a lot of voters will finally realize how dumb 2024 was. Seems some have to burn their hand on the stove twice for it to really sink in.

I think 2024 is immolating one's loins.

Hopefully that'll be enough for them not to do it again.

Less and less Trump bumper stickers and flags.

It's got to be a sign!

seem to have lost their trumpers. No more of that swag splattered all over the listings. Somewhere there's a garage or two stuffed with merch that ain't going nowhere, I almost feel sorry for them. Almost.

My cousin votes Republican because he knows vote Dem. (What better reason could anyone have to vote Republican?)

Anyways, he is not voting for the N.J. Republican governor candidate because the candidate is anti-abortion. "Fuck him."

THEY are going to personally, monetarily be affected by soaring health care premiums? And, for a lot of them, lower medicaid payments?
