Berks County


Not a single red MAGA hat to be found. Not a single Trump T-shirt.

Nobody's bragging now.

1. Glad to hear it

Once they figured things out, they realized Cheeto was nothing to brag about.

Hopefully people will start wearing IMPEACH 45 shirts soon.

2. Does this festival

have history of drawing Trump supporters?

I ask because the folk festivals I've been to didn''t seem to have that type of crowd.

3. It's not a "folk festival" as in lots of "leftover hippie" types

A celebration of PA Dutch heritage featuring loads of food. In a pretty red part of the state, so I imagine there were plenty of MAGA hats last year.

4. Didn't go to the festival last year, but there were PLENTY of Trump yard signs. n/t

5. ---------

"so I 'imagine' there were lots of MAGA hats last year".

You don't know it, you just "imagine" it

Sounds like you're assuming a lot based on stereotypes.

6. I live a half hour away from there

It's not a "folk festival" like the Philadelphia Folk Festival (folk music, crafts, etc.) it's more like a county fair. In a red part of the state that's home to a few white supremacist groups and every other yard was adorned with Trump signs.

7. I live fairly near that area. Surprised and glad to hear this. Thanks. NT

8. Was @ Nottingham WaWa yesterday

in southern Chester County. Saw young man with confederate muscle shirt. Probably headed to Gettysburg for the "rally". Also saw a split American and Confederate flag on way down to MD. Still see "Don't Tread On Me" flags flying here and there. There is still a lot of Obama anger out there. IMHO that's what electing tRump was all about, sticking it to the uppity POC, women and liberal elites.
