Totally not a cult

https://www.businessinsider.com/photo-tour-donald-trump-superstore-myrtle-beach-polotics-retail-2022-8#and-while-richard-kligman-himself-probably-wouldnt-say-much-about-a-trump-2024-run-his-products-certainly-will-42

I’ve been to more than 20 states, and would like to visit all 50 at some point in my life.

Should I ever visit South Carolina, I’m staying far away from Myrtle Beach, and yet business is booming since opening in March.

These people don’t love America, they love TFG. Someone who’s done absolutely nothing to merit such loyalty.

You couldn’t pay *me* to have this kind of merchandise, unless I was allowed to set it ablaze.

There are two types of trumps, one his cult think he is, how they portray him, and who he actually is - and who he actually is isn’t pretty.

If you come to South Carolina, Charleston and south to Hilton Head are good spots

No matter how much I like Obama, Clinton, or Biden, I am not going around with an Obama flag or an Obama T-shirt, or a cap.

And this is supposedly a party that's evangelical that the bible explicitly said never to worship an idol.......

You aren’t expecting them to actually live by the Bible, are you? They just preach it. They may not even be aware that part exists.

vintage home where the winters are warmer but still wet enough for good gardens. In this case 100 years plus two decades. Why? Good bones and character in features like high ceilings, beautiful woodwork and potentially beautiful flooring, and a story to tell all by itself. I know, champagne taste and beer budget, but I saw one recently in a small town in SC half-way between Myrtle Beach and Columbia, SC. I was surprised that the folks in that rural town in Clermont County with such a small and diverse population, 53W-30B-17L,0-Other was nearly even-Steven purple, not blazing red nor blue. Unemployment was below 6%; violent crime was minimal. The price was reasonable for such a large home on 3 acres and still somewhat immediately livable yet leaning toward on-the-edge of safety and comfort in internal housing modern infrastructure, but still much too much work for a retired old senior like me. It was enough to kill off the daytime daydreaming of moving somewhere new for purpose, but it did give me hope politically, at least! Maybe, just maybe, it would one day become a place of new beginnings, energy, and a sense of freedom to choose how best to make it a wonderful year-around home!
