I was over at my dads house yesterday helping with some household chores. He lives in a very rural area of a very red state. At the end of the work we went to one of the nearby country bars. It’s the kind of place that farmers, truckers, legit cowboy boot wearers and the working class go to unwind with a cold one.
Vice President Harris was on the TV and the local gun store owner said to his auto mechanic (friends since high school),
“You know what? She ain’t so bad. The economy is recovering, nobody’s rioting, and we’re standing up on the world stage again. Can’t believe I’m saying this but Ol’ Oakland Kam’s got my vote this year.”
I looked around and all I saw were heads nodding in agreement. I heard a few calls of “Yes sir” and “Damn Straight” from the men around me. Even saw the lonely ball cap wearing farmer in the corner raise his drink with a nod.
Something I've noticed, Lots of real masculine, white, cowboy types are throwing there hat in for Kamala. I work as a clerk at rite aid and was working the register when one of these cowboys came to check out, had to be at least 6'6, square jaw, bright blue predator eyes, and a huge bulge in his jeans. "You see Biden dropped out?" He asked as he passed me a pack of XL Magnum condoms. "I was gonna vote Trump until Kamala stepped up, media hasn't given her a fair shake, and when I did my own research I found she actually has some good ideas, can't believe I'm sayin this, but I'm voting blue." After I rang up his gigantic condoms, as he was walking out the door, he said something about "brat" don't know what he meant by that though. 10 minutes later a short fat tawny individual with a dirty shirt and MAGA hat covering his balding head comes waddling up to the register, very ugly man. He stands up on his tippy toes to hand me a box of extra small condoms, starts complaining about the pride flag outside, and saving the white race or some nonsense, he even mumbled the n word under his breath, very incoherent. Now l'm not political myself, so I have nothing to gain either way, but it's just interesting to see the types that back Kamala, and those who back Trump.
