The remaining Trump Signs! 👨🏻‍🌾🐔 🐘 🇺🇸

It’s easy to dismiss Donald Trump’s supporters as bad, racist terribly racist people or ignorant hicks. Especially after that disastrous, out of control protests at the US Capitol where a number of people were injured and killed, and a lot of politicians ego hurt even more. But I’m not willing to write off their party in one swoop, or say that all conservatives are bad even if maybe they’re investing too much stock in the lamest of ducks — former President Trump.

Long after the results were known, the Trump – No Bullshit banners can be found farms, rural homesteads, and other properties around America. While some have disappeared, inevitably dumped in the trash sent to landfills and set on fire in burn barrels and other stuck in barnyards and attics, others keep them up as a sign of resistance, much similar to how liberals across America in 2017 proudly displayed signs on their lawns that said RESIST! Their opposition not totally irrational, many of them are already hurt under the Biden administration policies – such as the limited availability of ammunition for hunting and target shooting.

I respect conservatives for having their views and being politically involved. They may not treasure their current political status, but so is the results of the disastrous administration of Donald Trump during the pandemic. I don’t view them as ignorant or racist or bad. Many of them who make their living off the land or hobby farm, know a great deal more about the natural world then do I. Farmers and homesteaders are not stupid people by any stretch of the imagination, although you can question maybe their lack of knowledge of big picture things when it comes to the policies that make up national policies for the big urban areas. They should advocate for what they believe is right, moving beyond the failed administration to better representatives going forward.

Do I agree with all conservative policies or ideology? No, I consider myself to be more of a liberal or maybe a libertarian. But I don’t think we should be afraid of the smell of silage, mud or blood. Just because folks make the products that we all depend on, and support the other guy for president, doesn’t mean they are bad or evil. They in many cases are advocating for what is best in their interest, just like us Democrats advocate for what is best for our cities and more urbanized, diverse areas.
