When I’m looking for a new business to hire (landscape, plumbing, etc) I’ll usually ask for suggestions online then go to the owners FB page and see if there is Trump anything at all. One post/pic and I’ll pass to the next business.

I live in SC. So it's so often there. But I'd definitely avoid anyone that gave off signals. I have Trump face for when someone starts spouting MAGA stuff. I've so prevalent here. But I do try to limit contact w/ MAGAs when I know. My daughter's bf's parents are MAGA. That's become kinda impossible.

I completely understand that. I live in Pennsyltucky, it’s maga county area so I “grey rock” and pretend to be dumb/clueless if anyone starts political rantings but I still do my best to not support them any more than I must.

Yeah. It's going to get harder now that they're agreeing with dragging people off to ES death camps. I am going to have to rethink what I can tolerate. Sometimes it takes me by surprise. Ppl here aren't that open about it compared with some places.

We can only do our best. If we do our best every day it’s better than most who only care to do what’s easiest.

I drove through there back in 2020. I was amazed and appalled by the signs I saw. That was when I learned the “let’s go Brandon” crap. But the out and out F. U.s we’re stunning.

The “let’s go Brandon” signs were insane. They were absolutely everywhere

That's wild. I live in a red area but it's more like the old fashioned Republicans. I've never seen a Trump sign or a red hat around me. (Charleston). I saw a clip of an election worker in small town PA & they said it was 80% Trump. Wow, the Fox brainwashing worked.

I was told my area is 75% registered republican 12+ years ago so I’m not surprised

My area is similar. It's actually gotten a little bluer. Most are a little embarrassed by Trump & the tackiness of MAGA I *think.* I'm glad there aren't signs, hats, bumper stickers, etc. even though. I know most of them vote Rep anyway, I don't want to see it.

yeah it's really unfortunate. especially since Trump is going to ruin her life in a couple ways & she might have to end up moving abroad so it's hard not to take it personally. It would be ironic for them since they are clearly hoping she'll marry their son & he probably won't move. 🤷‍♀️ It's a mess.

For your sake and hers, I sincerely hope they break up.

It's a shame. They've been dating for 4 years & he's a very nice guy (not a MAGA).
