59. Rightwing enthusiasm around here (DFW area in N. TX) seems an all-time low
Mon Jul 1, 2024, 01:03 PM
Jul 2024

Fellas in the coffee shop who, four years ago were wearing that garish Magga stuff, are instead dressing for their jobs instead of a campaign pep rally. Political Signage on seemingly permanent display throughout the community since 2020 have been noticeably absent since this spring ('We're just bringing 'em in for the rain!' 'Sorry, boys! Spring rain's been over with for three weeks now!').

I'm getting the feeling that Mr. trump's Sell-By date was reached when he became the biggest loser and left with a violent tantrum; just didn't sit right with a lotta old-timers around here.
