heritage stickers, lock her up stickers, trump stickers, GOP stickers.
In the building that hosts the groups related to politics, one lonely booth for the NC Democrats, and at least three NC GOP areas - the odious confederacy booth, the equally odious trump booth with the "lock her up" stickers, and the mild-by-comparison with those 2 representing the NC GOP.
Losers, sore losers, ignorance, stupidity - as abundant at the fair as the unhealthy foods like the deep friend everything and the bacon cheeseburgers on sugar dripping donuts as buns.
I suspect this will be our last visit for a long time.
Yuck!

How awful.

(5,730 posts)"Freedom," that Dotard has said said, very good people on both sides, that has stirred it up?
Germany made the Nazi flag illegal. The freedom of speech issue is outweighed by inotingpeople to riot.
I'm thinking of getting my own flad and flying it at half mast until Dotard & Pence are gone. That would be a good movement, but it would endanger our houses.
