I was at a gas station yesterday in Trump country that was selling Presidential plates

2. Over the Obama years

I bought plates. Cups. Kept pins, stickers. Yard signs.
I was proud to have them.

5. One of my most prized possessions

is the lanyard that allowed me to get into the room as a guest on election night when Obama won his second election. My husband has his, too.

We had worked for Obama's reelection, and were lucky enough to get tickets to that event in McCormick Place. I will never forget it!

8. I am VERY jealous!!

6. If it was in Trump country, they are probably sold out of the Trump ones, and have extras of Obama.

Don't mean to be a downer, but let's be realistic. If it is truly Trump country then the Trump plates are the ones they would have trouble keeping in stock.

9. oh no you didn't!!!

12. We tend to see what we want to see, and avoid what we don't what to know.

The truth will set you free. But first it will piss you off.

14. Well, whether or not trump plates were sold out, at least Obama plates were for sale too!!

I have noticed that in that area, all of the trump signs have disappeared and there is now a giant pro-immigration sign

But you're right - but, gee, didja have to rain on my parade, Binkie?!?!

7. Reminds me of our 2005 cross-country trip.

I was still really depressed about Bush being re-elected and felt very wary of all the red states we were traveling through. Not scared-just not in the mood to be around a lot of Bushbots. I was particularly nervous about Texas and planned our route so we would just be driving strait through the panhandle without needing to stop for any length of time. We did stop for gas and I was going to wait in the car but I needed to use the bathroom. Inside this rural, heart-of-red-country gas station/convenience store there was an entire counter filled with the most anti-Bush stuff I had ever seen-buttons, bumber stickers, etc-really vicious stuff. I guess you never can tell.
