It is hell living in Trumplandia...SW PA

39. Crops don't seem to matter...

Crops here rotate between corn and soybeans. I’ve seen Trump paraphernalia on farm property, but it’s mostly on a mix of lower income households and quite a few upper middle class homes, plus many small businesses. On some roads that I travel regularly, at least 3 out of 5 houses have Trump signs or flags. I fully expect shrines with Trump statues soon, especially after he loses the election. It’s mind boggling how these people are so duped by a malignant a-hole who wouldn’t even let them in one of his hotels, let alone be friends with them, much less care if they live or die. It’s just a product of the right wing echo chamber and underlying racism. I even have to avoid political discussion with some beloved relatives, who are far to intelligent to fall for Trump’s insanity. But they do, even when they accept that COVID-19 is a real pandemic, they still say that it’s being overblown just to make Dear Leader look bad. I personally know people who think they have had COVID-19 but refuse to report it lest they add to the stats that harm their Dear Leader. This cult is at People’s Temple level insanity.
