🔵 🌊 🙏🏼
I’m so ready to vote. I was already fired up but after encountering an aggressive grassroots MAGA brigade when all I wanted to do was go for a nice afternoon walk and enjoy a sunny fall day but a fleet of small-dick energy pickup trucks decorated with massive and putrid TRUMP flags and driven by white power fisting redneck men had other plans for me.
It felt like harassment. I was telling a canvasser about this yesterday and he said very calmly, “That’s because it was. That is their whole agenda, their entire platform.”
Bullying. Hate. Misogyny. Guns guns guns.
I was angry that I started to spiral out and then I thought I was going to have a heart attack (#drama) so Henry and I had to switch to a side street but I could still hear the horns blasting and the ACTUAL hootin’ and hollarin’ so we ended up just going back home.
Stress.

Off and on over the past year a group has set up kerch tables and flags along a whole block on the main road in front 8f the grocery store where I work. They aren’t on our property so the city says we can’t do anything about it (my manager turned on the sprinklers once and got a slap on the wrist for it). That in turn makes customers think the store endorses it. I was sitting in my truck on my lunch break a few weeks ago when they were out there and a convoy of assholes flying Trump flags drove by and they were all honking and yelling. It was all I could do to not jump out of the truck and throw an absolute shitfit. I’m SO over this and can’t wait for it to be over. Oregon is all mail-in voting so I turned in my ballot last week. I’m cautiously optimistic. Keep hanging in there!
