Apparently there are Trump-themed stores in Massachusetts?

If Obama shops existed, they would be targeted by racists. I dont buy the "oh if we saw an Obama shop we would just drive by and definitely make no racist remarks!" Surejan.gif
You guys make fun, but at the rate things are going, this guy is going to be named Trump's new Secretary of Labor within the month.
Everybody is getting in on the grift. It's amazing.
My idea is trump body pillows. It would basically mirror that one pic where he is playing tennis. you know the one wear he is totally not wearing diapers.

*Shivers* I sadly know people that would probably buy one in a heartbeat. Sad people.
I don't get how people re still surprised. You realize there are trump supporters in literally every state right? Mass is overwhelmingly liberal, but there are still plenty of republicans.
In this era, all four kinds:
Football Cheats With Unhappy Coach
Toby Keith Trucknut Eagles
Lalaleeloolah
Scoundrel Spiderholes
People actually adoring political figures is bizarre and worrying. No wonder the US is as divided as it is - people see it as my guy lost and your guy won, so it becomes this very personal thing.
People in positions of state - all the way up to the president - should see you as their bosses, not the other way around.

Yeah, it does. Watching from across the pond I can't help but think of a line from a blogger who, reviewing Ireland's political leaders, made the following astute remark -
We Irish tend to view our politicians with the mixture of pity, loathing and disgust normally reserved for the kind of people who have to go door to door whenever they move to a new neighbourhood
I think the US would greatly benefit from doing the same.
Until recently, it was the same here in the UK (or in Scotland at the very least). But now we've fallen prey to the same bullshit of idolising politicians.
Why do I feel like this kind of ridiculous store is unique to the USA? I would be surprised to find this in Canada or France selling shirts with Trudeau or Macron's face for example. The only other countries I can think of that would do that is dictactorship ones like North Korea.
Boston and Cambridge != MA. Metro Boston for the most part is liberal, however that comes with some exceptions. People are liberal until there's a policy that impacts them (cannabis dispensaries for example) then it's NIMBY to the rescue.
Most of MA (and New England as a whole) is still conservative and puritanical.
New dispensaries seem to be popping up/being announced every few month. How is that your example of an exception?
It's interesting how trump has become this brand. like wearing a trump t shirt is 100% a personality signifier for people, the way a band t shirt used to be.
Trump's entire career is being a brand. He doesn't develop real estate anymore and hasn't in years. He sells and leases his name.
Shit like this is 100% his business model.
Never seen one of these but yeah about 30% of the state voted for Trump in 2016. I think that's the smallest percentage in the US but it's still 30% of voters.
Like others have said I'll still occasionally drove by someone in a pickup truck who has Confederate flags.flying off the back, which is just bizarre but w/e fucking assholes everywhere.
Many Trump supporters stick out here so they show it off to show how different tehy are, like there's a near me and the guy has Trump flags hanging off a flag pole. His neighbors all have the "hate has no home here" lawn signs because of him

This.
I live in Mass and just recently saw how the vote went down in '16. Was surprised to see in my town the vote was 60/40 for Clinton.
1% of Trumpers in your town is too much but 40%! Fuck!
The closer you get to the Hub, the less of this you see.
In the last couple weeks alone? I've seen a Trump supporter call a elderly black couple the n-word, threatening to punch them after the impeachment results aired. When Trump showed up on the Super Bowl pregame had someone place their hand over their heart and yell, "Trump is as American as football!", proceeding to mock the f****t Liberals to just himself.
Those are just the most recent examples, so..yeah, they are among us.

My family has a summer home in rockport we spend a few weeks there every summer. Such a chill place.
I love it there even more so now with legal weed.
always wanted to spend some time there in the winter.
I grew up not too far away from here, there is a sort of "white working class" vibe to the outer edges of metrowest. I prefer living in the shadow of Cambridge now for sure
lol. I grew up 15 minutes away from Bellingham and this was my first thought. (my hometown isn't much better)
Very cool. Tbh I hate it in the Summer though. I live right smack in the middle of downtown and I can barely breathe all season due to the heat and overwhelming lots of tourists every single day. Parking just sucks, too.
Oh man yeah it's always crazy at bearskin neck and downtown. I spend most of my time at the quarry down the street since the ocean is so cold.
I love bearskin neck even if my grandfather hated that place lmao. He would always say it's cheap Chinese junk š
We could go anytime in the winter I need to make that a priority at some point although getting up the hill to our house is probably awful if it's icy.
I live in Ohio and tbh I have been wanting to move to Massachusetts for years.
Racism is a huge factor, but Republicans also worship billionaires and celebrities (even though they complain about Hollywood). Reagan was only one of those two, and look at the worship of him. Plus, Trump lives to troll liberals, and for the modern conservative, that's more than enough of what they need. You see lots of memes like "Trump 2020, fuck your feelings" and the like. But even with all that said, it is still shocking that Trump went from non-politician to cult leader in just three years in office. His cult is way more devoted than anything Bush 41 or 43 had or even Reagan arguably.
