My friend saw a bunch of Trump weirdos yesterday

She was telling me that she and her husband took a picnic lunch up to the lake that’s in the northern part of our county.

As they were sitting there, a bunch of people came along in a car, parked, got out. All adults. They went down to the small sandy area along the shore of the lake with shovels and proceeded to build a big sand castle.

When the castle was finished, one of them went back to the car to fetch a huge TRUMP 2024 flag and they stuck the flag on top of the sand castle.

Then they all took turns taking each other’s pictures standing next to it plus a couple of group pictures.

Took the flag off, got back into the car, and left.

Or it's built on a foundation of sand.

Either way, it'll eventually collapse.

And, as usual, the Trumpsters were completely oblivious to the comparison...

It kills me how people have altered their behavior so that they can create social media “content”.

I can't imagine sitting around discussing going to the beach to do such a stupid thing.

"Hey, bro, wanna get the wife and kids together and drive 30 miles to build a sandcastle with a rump flag on it?..It'll really drive the libs nucking futz"

Murica has really gone down the tubes.

Superficial they are when it comes to the whole mess. It seems that as long as they can go through the motions, they, too, can have it their way over anyone else's way. They really are base on top of being the base. Kind of reminds me of what you'd find under the seat in an outhouse.
