I was driving in the largest city in my red county and saw a truck with Trump sucks Dik written in big letters on the rear window. Based upon what they truck looked like, the driver was most likely a young, working class White man. I also notice that there are very few Trump 2020 stickers on vehicles, in 2016 at this time, there were plenty of vehicles with Trump stickers and Hillary for Prison stickers. But to see the window of that truck, with such an in your face message was amusing, especially in my red county (though Hillary only lost it by around 10%, even though she put no effort into the county and surrounding area).
On the bad side, I found out today from one of my brothers that an older boy that we grew up around has COVID19 and has been hospitalized for several weeks. He is in a higher risk category (COPD and over 60 years old), so it doesnt look good. The guy just lost his sister a few months back of a non Covid related cause. I was never part of the guys posse, I was younger and bookish and ultimately professional school bound, but from my brother I found out that the guy had led the citys recreation department for years and just recently won a seat on the City Council in the countys largest city. My brother thinks the guy likely got infected at his swearing in ceremony, the citys mayor is an anti-mask mandate Trumper.
