Early last week, I was at the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library for its first weekend. At the library itself, despite President Donald Trump inserting himself incongruously into the opening ceremonies, I did not see a single person sporting a Trump-branded clothing item.
The town of Medora, North Dakota, itself was, however, a different story. It wasn’t overwhelming. But for someone who lives in an urban center of a blue state, where even in the ruby red rural areas most people have become sufficiently shamed to shut up about their MAGA tendencies, a single errant MAGA cap is a rarity.
I wish them a socialist mayor, congressman, senator, or president, because actually seeing the benefits of it for themselves is what’s going to create lasting change, not conservatism or
centrismcompassionate conservatism.Which, given their (fast dying) hegemony, can extend across the world.
They piss us off with their selfishness and lack of responsibility, but we want the good for them, not the bad.
