MAGAs Know -- Tom Sullivan
https://digbysblog.net/2026/04/07/magas-know/They really hate being reminded
Sign Guy has seen a noticeable uptick over the last three weeks in middle fingers on the surface streets and overpasses. Since Day 1 of this project, any oblique reminder that Dear Leader is failing to live up to his, um, potential has elicited the bird. The clear winner was last fall when ARE YOUR GROCERIES CHEAPER? drew three different middle fingers out of three windows of one car. At each Sign Guy appearance, there's always at least one.
But then on Feb. 28, the America First president, the "I'm not going to start a war, I'm going to stop the wars" president, the peace president, obsessed as he is with winning a Nobel Peace Prize, launched an illegal, unprovoked and costly war against Iran. In part, to distract from his name appearing tens of thousands of times in the still incompletely released Epstein files. With the Strait of Hormuz closed and domestic gas prices soaring above $4/gallon, the MAGAs have become more visibly agitated by any reminder that Dear Leader sold them out. Almost as if the more insane he becomes, the more easily triggered they are.
Last night's 90-min. rush hour appearance with the sign above drew 11 middle fingers out of nine cars, plus a thumbs-down and someone directing a tactical strobe light at the overpass out the windshield. One of those middle fingers was an oversized cardboard cutout held out the driver's window. MAGAs really hate bad puns.
TikTok's Texas Trey, "a reformed Republican" who went from "religious conservative to lefty liberal," served MAGAs their betrayal straight up over the weekend.
"What you got was conned," he tells them calmly. "And you're too fucking embarrassed to admit it."
