Well and kinda fucked up?
I can remember going into auto shops, biker shops, and recently the guy that worked on my fishing boats shop and seeing posters and portraits of women in skimpy outfits (and sometimes not even skimpy outfits) but lately I see much less of that and i their place I see pictures of Donny Dipshit, or his flag and all of his other paraphernalia.
Thats fuckin weird!

(8,535 posts)I see it frequently in rural Texas (all Trump) and it makes a statement to me about the owners of these establishments.
A good example to me is Elon Musk/Tesla - I think it influences buyers when otherwise it would not me a issue.

Had my car body work done all week, by Not a fn trump ass kisser. Not tough to find, even in rural OreGun. As those assholes proudly display on the back of their trucks around here. Left southern Oregon rw shithole 3 times, yet, full circle once again in the shithole southern Oregon town I was born. Can't wait to get to get the fuck outta here again.

(19,888 posts)But do fascists really care about their customers either?
My observation over the past nine years is there are really only two types of MAGA. The moron be they barely literate enough to read a ballot and vote, or in possession of some education but so devoid of critical thinking that the right wing message of grievance and victim politics has overwhelmed their ability to think for themselves.
The second type of MAGA is where many business owners and professionals fall. These people are fascists and authoritarians who care primarily about two things: preserving the white male dominated status quo and their own bottom line. They believe Trump gets them closer to those goals and thats why they support and promote him. Most of them dont even really like him much, but that doesnt matter.
So, girl in bikini is bad. Agreed. Old white dude who wants to be the dictator of America? Thats pretty bad too, and I posit the business owners who display either dont care about their customers in any way other than how they can separate them from their money.
