Trumpers are out here in Dayton this morning with a mission.

The Trump trucks with huge flag and tRump signs...just like pre Election ... maybe there will be more today as I drive into Fairfield...I'll try and get pictures. Not sure what is up... especially after the Nashville bombing.

Has it been a thing that just exploded with Trumpers or is this something new in the past 4-5 years ?

Men projecting their inadequacy. Thirty-five inch wheels, jacked-up pickup trucks make them “feel” like a man. I don’t get it, so I just laugh it off. Ask them any question about anything relevant in the world and they go numb.

Didn't see any more.. Just in North Dayton/ Englewood area. Must be a local nest of tRumpsters.

but they are definitely first cousins: Adherents to middle eastern religions (yes, Christianity is middle eastern with Jesus, a brown skin Palestinian Jew as its focus); devotion to authoritarian leaders; a demonstrated desire to control women; a desire to recreate a perceived glorious past; opposition to modernity (except for the cellphones); opposition to higher education and the primacy of facts and lines of evidence; and much more.

It's interesting how so many of the young evangelical men in my area were given middle eastern names like Joshua, Micah, Jacob, Caleb, Jared. They have all been basted in middle eastern traditions, ideology and mythology since birth but they can't stand those Muslims with whom they have so much in common.

Not the massive caravan style but even with yard signs...Trump signs staying in place...Something is brewing...they are fixed on following Trump like the South never really surrendered after the civil war...I'll keep my eyes looking for disruptors.
