53. Trump gear Uhggg
Wed Dec 25, 2024, 11:10 AM
Wednesday

At my company there are specific rules for everything! But the rules for trump gear are ignored. I see Trump shirts on a daily basis. Trump stickers on toolboxes, lockers, hardhats.
The turning right of the working class union guy is the biggest success of the Republican Party Just my opinion... Never do I see left wing stuff. I wore a "Harris for the people " t shirt to work a few times my coworker said "wow" "your brave" like it was going to incite the Trump guy the next shop over. What he was really saying was he didn't like it. After Trump was arrested I wore a shirt saying "Make prison great again" It actually was pretty good because I realized all of them back down when confronted. I have come to believe they know its not right but they have this comaradarie they get from being Republican. Permission to be assholes. There are other less obvious signs also like oversize American flag at the shop entrance. One guy has a very detailed wood panel carving 2'x 3' of the twin towers saying "we will not forget" that he carved himself thing is he added under it. "desert storm" "Waco" and a couple other events. Its just a list of greivances.
The only way to get them back to voting for their own interest is for Trump to screw them over. Even then it will have to be something big.
