It’s hard to pin an exact number, but throughout western Kansas’s ~400 mi slog to Colorado, I was forced to view semi trailers with trump’s visage printed on the side, hilariously corny White Jesus signs, and Anti-Abortion signs approximately every ten miles.
I found it so disheartening, knowing that someone went through the effort of painting a semi trailer with Trump’s face on it and planting it right next to the interstate.
What does this accomplish? Who’s vote is being swayed by this garish tribute?
I have seen endless discussions online about Trump fans being culty, but this (apart from the coal rollers with flags) is the first time I’ve seen this type of undying loyalty in the wild.
The Jesus and anti-abortion signs are painful, but nowhere near as painful as these Trump shrines.
I am interested in the opinions of anybody, regardless of political affiliation. What do you think of this?
Also, I’m sorry I didn’t get a picture. I feel like the guy that claims he saw a UFO but has nothing to show for it. If anyone is driving through Kansas on their way to Colorado or vice Versa, PLEASE try and snag a picture of these Jesus signs and Trump trailers, so that people can properly contextualize this post.
I live in a rural part of a battleground state, where we are relatively close to a city so it’s a mash of many different cultures, but the good old boys are still very much around and are in charge. I think people are just disillusioned and indoctrinated, being hateful and manipulated is the path of least resistance for them. It’s easier to make strawman then reflect inward. People don’t like mirrors ime. 😕 Trump reflects their own selfishness. It’s pride in our lesser nature at a certain point.
