I live in deep blue Massachusetts. However, we have our clusters of MAGATs all around us. Four miles north of my hometown, across the border into New Hampshire, the yards are still proudly sporting Trump signs.

One auto repair shop on Rt 1, just before the border, has a huge billboard that currently has something to the effect of the new homeland security pick cleaning up the country. The owner changes the message frequently to display opinions on current events. They are all offensive.

My place of employment is close to Boston. (I work in retail). I call it the United Nations because we have people from all over the world working here.
Still, I and my fellow colleagues have to listen to a consistent gaggle of mostly American born white women sing Trump‘s praises on a daily basis.
They openly admit that they can’t wait to see “all the illegals sent packing”. All the while their immigrant coworkers, with whom they are actually on a very friendly basis, are sitting right there.

So yeah, they are everywhere.
