there's a shitload of MAGA around here!

I knew a local business owner who was a diehard Democrat, but he presented as a Republican. He stated he was Republican, because all of his business associates were. But I knew him well, and he fucking hated Republicans. Most old time business owners around here are indeed Republican.

80% of the people I went to high school with are MAGA. It's depressing.
