For the first time, I came face to face with a MAGA 3%er here in my blue state.

I pulled into the Harbor Freight parking lot next to a gigantic, dual wheeled, hemi Ram pickup. As I got out, a couple of things caught my eye. The first was all the pro-police decals and license plate frame on it. Next I read the bumper sticker. It said "We haven't seen Democrats this mad since we freed their slaves."
I went inside to make my purchase and easily spotted the owner of the truck. He kind of looked like Stewart Rhodes without the eye patch. He was wearing a black baseball cap with MAGA across it in gold and a gold TSF signature around the bill. He was at the checkout when I left the store. It was then that I noticed the large III surrounded by stars decal on the rear window. (see below).

I'm glad nothing was said, but I'm sure he overheard me tell the cashier I needed a generator for my house in Costa Rica and that I was moving there.

Made me sad that this guy lives around me.

Roman Numerals look more impressive than writing an Arabic 3. And Arabic is bad scary brown people to them
