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

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.
