I went to the Columbus Air Show 2024 on Father's Day.

I wasn't paying much attention until the end of the day, but when I looked around the crowd while the USAF Thunderbirds performed at the end of the day, I realized that I hadn't noticed any MAGA hats or TRUMP shirts all day. I'm sure there were some. I saw maybe four red hats in the crowd that could have been MAGAts, but they were too far away to tell. I just thought it was odd. It's Ohio. It's not like the cultists here are ever afraid or ashamed to flaunt their dedication to Baron von Shitzenpantz. Especially at a pro-Murca, pro-military event like this.

I still root for the Reds (and Braves) but I couldn’t wear one of their hats now.

...and I rarely wear it now. I feel self-conscious about it.

I've seen the occasional sign, but no hats. They know these hats are symbols of hate.

Perhaps you're right, though. Maybe they are just chickenshits when it comes to non-Trump events. Or, maybe all of the MAGAts were just attending black church services yesterday.

It has the Marine Corps emblem on the facia. Bought it in 2015 IIRC. Since trump, I can't bring myself to wear it. I have worn it a couple of times, but always felt a little uncomfortable about it.

I walk 4 to 6 miles a day, all over various neighborhoods in my town.

So far only one Trump sign.

In contrast to the past with Trump lawn signs, flags and bumper stickers everywhere.

People may be voting for the orange SOB, but they sure aren't advertising it anymore.
