COLUMBUS, Ohio--A picture of two Ohioans in matching shirts at a Donald Trump rally last weekend has caught fire on the Internet.

The cleveland.com photo features James T. Alicie and Richard M. Birchfield, two friends from Delaware, Ohio, in T-shirts saying "I'd Rather Be A Russian Than A Democrat" during Trump's rally in southern Delaware County on Saturday evening.

The picture of the two, posted Saturday night after the rally, quickly went viral, circulating around Twitter and Facebook and appearing on the front page of Reddit.com.

I doubt they have to worry about losing their job. They look too stupid to be employed.

If I were them, I'd wear a disguise to out for right now. Seems like not many are agreeing with them. One comment took me back a couple of years, but I still remember when there were t-shirts that said, "I'd rather be dead than red."

They are an angry mob prodded into hysteria by a force that really wants to destroy our democracy. The ones who proudly participate will be very sad when they wake up and realize the harm they have done to all of our country and our freedoms.

Same dudes that used to yell, better Dead than Red.
Well won’t their faces be red when Balderson or whomever loses. Oh wait. Already red.
