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.

It’s not an ask though, is it? It’s an expectation that we do something about it. They didn’t kindly ask me or my PM, they said it’s on us for not doing anything about it.

That’s criticism and blameshitfting.

It looks to me as if you think this should be shared out as well.

Yeah fuckin oath I can say I’m happy to help those who can’t defend themselves and those who are able bodied, stay home. That’s helping those who need it and telling those who can fix their problem to stay and fix it. Absolutely it’s the able bodied ones wanting to run.
