(12,829 posts)I have a Joe Dorman for Governor sticker on my car from the last election here in Oklahoma. It is a bit of an fu to say I didn't vote for crazy Mary Fallin. I also have signs in my yard for various Democrats who are running for local and state elections. I pulled into the drive the other day and one of my crazy neighbors stopped walking his dog long enough to yell "Make American Great Again". I could not resist, I said "Make America Racist Again" back at him and walked into the house.
There are lots of Trump signs in our area. In my small neighborhood I would say every third house. The guy across the street, who is what I call a batshit crazy nut, has his entire truck tricked out in Trump stuff.
This is a poor state, and a very racist one in many ways. Two things Trump plays to, their fear of losing what jobs they do have, and their fear of anyone different.
You are correct, the country is certainly dumbing down giving us an even more important reason to get all of the sane people out to vote in November. I can assure you these crazy people will show up.
