Just buy a Harvard t-shirt. ---

> [@dolphinboy](#): > > Perhaps they aren’t selling them because nobody would buy anti-Trump t-shirts since they might be afraid to walk around in public wearing one. I wouldn’t want to be the target of some MAGA nutcase, would you? At work I don’t wear political t-shirts, I wear the carefully-sanitized-so-as-not-to-be-offensive corporate work shirts. I am still occasionally the target of MAGA nutcases while merely doing my job. No way I’d wear an anti-Trump t-shirt most days in public. And certainly never when I’m alone. Maybe if I was going to an anti-Trump protest but otherwise… nopre. ---

Actually, as I consider the matter, I can’t recall seeing even the pro-Trump T-shirts being worn at those resorts. It certainly didn’t stick in my mind. But I’ve seen lots of both pro- and anti-Trump bumper stickers on cars, and signs on houses and businesses. So where DO people wear the pro-Trump T-shirts they buy? For that matter, I don’t see any of the more outrageous T-shirts, with the pro-drugs, bandit Disney princesses, risque sayings, and angry dad legends being worn at these places, either. Maybe people just wear them around the house to annoy other family members. Or to Wal-mart. ---

Trump voters are violent and dim witted members of a cult. Loudly proclaiming their allegiance to the cult is part of it. For many of the rest of us, we are just regular people and we aren’t in the cult precisely because we don’t have a lot of political views that can fit on a shirt or sticker. Brain dead hicks shop for clothes on boardwalks and they tend to be fascists. ---

> [@CalMeacham](#): > > So where DO people wear the pro-Trump T-shirts they buy? From my personal experience, traveling through some deep red states and regions in the last few years: to the grocery store, while traveling (I see them, and MAGA hats, being worn at rest areas gas stations), going to fast-food restaurants, etc. ---

During COVID, at least here in Arkansas, wearing a mask was tantamount to declaring your political allegiance. I still remember going to a small town diner to pick up lunch in October 2020 and being the only masked person in the entire place. ---

I’ve seen one MAGA hat worn in public. They are not popular in the Colorado mountains. That bartender is gone. I did see some waitress carrying sidearms. That was kinda odd… The are gone. I mean, come on. I’m not anti-gun, but “OK, OK, I tip well, just don’t pull your .45 on me.” My wife and I are moving to a place that we think is not too, pro Trump. My Wife (a real estate appraiser) did most of the searching. At one town, she didn’t even step out of the car. She had an “um… no…” feeling. ---

I was up in the Colorado mountains in October 2024, around the San Juan mountains, and I sure saw a lot of MAGA support while I was there. I don’t remember a lot of hats or shirts, but I sure remember seeing a lot of signs. ---

If you consider Huntington Beach, CA (“Surf City”) a resort, it is full of MAGAs in full regalia, and there are tons of Trump Merch tents all over OC. We work with the 50-50-1 group on weekly protests at our City Hall, and there is a guy who shows up to sell his anti-MAGA merch, but I don’t think he makes many sales as all the people showing up to protest have what they need. ---

Really, in the San Juans? That’s sort of hippy/dippy (no offence to those that like tie-dye). I’m stunned. I’m in the Mosquito, and Ten Mile Range, think Breckenridge. If there are MAGATs about, they are keeping quite about it. NO yard signs, certainly no hats. ---

If there are MAGATs about, they are keeping quite about it. It’s possible I’m getting some of my geography confused. We went to a pizza place for lunch, it wasn’t in Silverton or Ouray, where the signs near the bathroom made it quite clear I should pick the right bathroom for my gender. And I don’t mean in the cool “Hey, use what you’re comfortable with” kind of way. There was a restaurant we tried to go at that was closed because of Biden’s policies making it so nobody wanted to work anymore. Can’t remember which town that was. However, places like Silverton attracted a lot of hillbillies, like my wife, who love to go offroad. A saw a good number of those with Trump stuff festooned on their side-by-sides, but I have no idea how local they might have been. ---

@CalMeacham did you see any rainbow or pink/blue (trans flag colors) shirts, hats, etc? That sort of thing is de-facto anti-MAGA. IMHO liberals tend to be more subtle than MAGAs. We’re going to show our opposition by wearing rainbow earrings and not shirts that say “I HATE TRUMP.” You know the folks on the other side have the depth of a cat food bowl. ---

Back in 1979 😮 my buddies and I did a high school graduation trip. 2 4x4 trucks, and one FJ40. 2 weeks camping in the mountains. I suspect that Mark was the most liberal one, but I donno.That would be a contest. Heh. Strangely, we ended up in Aspen one night looking for beer and gas. The fellow we found said “There is no were to by beer, but you want a bag of weed?” Not sure how good it was. Oddly, I don’t remember. ---

I did see one T-shirt at a Hampton Beach store that had a swirly rainbow inside a heart, but I doubt if it was a covert liberal sign. It was on a kid’s T-shirt sold at what I think of as a “old person’s boutique” (which had none of the really serious pro-Trump, pro-MAGA, and pro-drug T-shirts). I suspect the owners thought it was just a cute thang that would appeal to kids. ---

Angry old white men have turned a politician into their cult leader, what do you expect? Of course they’re selling Trump t-shirts, hats, and other made in China crap. Cult members love all that sh1t and will gladly pay money hand over fist for them. Probably not many inner city minorities hanging out at a resort on the northeast coast. This is a bubble community and OP is currently living in their echo chamber.
