http://narrative.ly/this-old-guy-with-a-sign-protests-trump-every-single-day/Its country talk, thats all it is. The full phrase is, That boy just dont act right. God bless him, McCray explains. Like, Im a big baseball fan so Id say this about a player: That right there is a really good ball player, but the fact is that boy just dont act right. God bless him.
Once he found a piece of cardboard large enough to fit his message, McCray focused on the destination. He says he didnt put a whole lot of thought into it, but ideally had two specific requirements: within walking distance of his home, and a lot of traffic. So, he chose an intersection that fit the bill, with a four-way stop and an island off to the side for him to stand on.
A few years ago, I made a different sign, McCray says. It said, Help, I watch too much Fox News. Cant tell truth from lies. Need therapy. But I was just being silly. This right here is different.
When asked why it was different, McCray pauses. He speaks in a heavier and much more somber tone than the lighthearted, jovial one hes been using.
After the election I was just amazed, I couldnt believe [Donald Trump] got elected, he says. I remembered seeing a guy with a sign once shortly after Bush took us into Iraq. And he was a Middle Eastern guy. He had such resolve on his face, like he knew he wasnt going to change anything but that he had to get out there and do something. And thats kind of how I felt.
McCray stands with his sign at his preferred intersection in Fort Worth.
