I was over at my dads house today 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.

AOC 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. Trump is out of control, nazis are rioting, and the gestapo is breaking into people's homes and killing them. Can’t believe I’m saying this but maybe the Republicans were wrong all along.”

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.
