In reply to the discussion: Wearing Trump gear [View all]Tarzanrock
(1,250 posts)The bus stopped to pick up a sole woman passenger. It was this really obese elderly white woman who had one of those 4 pronged roller walking machines the expensive kind which will fold into a cushioned seat to sit upon. I'd guess that this woman weighed close to 300 lbs. She was dressed in what I would say would be a rather expensive "smock" type dress which covered her from her neck down to her ankles. The pattern on that "smock" outfit was linear, colorful, conservative and attractive -- it caught my eye and I considered it to be in quite good fashion taste. She was wearing this bizarre camoflaged colored baseball hat which had a logo on the front of its hat panels which said, of all things: "Billionaire Boys Club." I thought that to be really weird until I saw that on the cushion of her expensive walking machine upon which she had prominently displayed a "Trump/Vance" bumper sticker affixed to the seat cushion of that walking machine. I noticed it because it was the first such "Trump/Vance" bumper sticker I had seen here in California. I also noted that on the back rest of that walking machine that she had similarly affixed another "Trump/Vance" bumper sticker where it was likewise prominently displayed - both on the front of that back rest cushion and on the rear of that back rest cushion. She also had affixed to that walker several real pro-Israel stickers depicting the Star of David and pro-Netanyahu support. Outside of that nice "smock" she was wearing -- she had no jewelry which she was wearing: no necklace, no earrings, no wedding ring, no watch and no bracelets of any kind. I surmised that she was some elderly white woman who was in her 70's who was living on social security or some small pension in one of the apartment buildings in Los Angeles. I was real puzzled by her rather public display of all that rightwing shit and I wondered whether she had any understanding whatsoever that the professed goal of the Republican Party was to gut her Social Security and Medicare. My best guess was that she was likely relatively uneducated and had spent years watching that rightwing shit on Fox News and on other rightwing news and radio and on social media like Facebook. It dawned on me that there are tens of millions of dumbass, white women just like her out here in society who will never change as long as they are subjected to that military style psy ops rightwing propoganda which is promulgated on Fox News, social media like Facebook and other righwing news outlets and radio.
