Response to New Haven (Original post)

Wed Feb 23, 2022, 08:31 PM

44. I'm about two hours north of you in WMass.

Western Mass, the epicenter of the MAGA-variety of Massholes. As in your area, not that many Trump altars compared to other parts of the country, but the last one I knew about has been gone for about 4 or 5 months. They had a HUGE Trump banner on the side of their house, and had had other large banners flying over the years with slogans like, "Fuck your feelings, Snowflakes" and I don't even remember what all else. The last banner they had up was for Trump/Desantis 2024, but even that's come down down. (Maybe they realized Desantis is an idiot? Naaaah. That would have made them love him more.) Anyway, nothing new has gone up.

I also know some people who had pro-Trump altars lost business over them. The place where I've bought Christmas trees from since I was a little girl over 50 years ago, had a gigantic Trump flag flying when we went to get our tree in 2020. I would have left and gone elsewhere then and there except I had the grandkids with me and they were too excited to be there so I couldn't really turn around right then. But I made damn sure I didn't go back there this year. I did drive by and see the banner was down this year, but still - fuck those people. This is my own private war on Christmas.
