Not sure how I feel about this still running it over and over in my mind. Went to a Fireworks show last night in local area, about 30 min drive from our Home, always thought very conservative area. Wife being the Outspoken one and the only one with the Trump shirt decided to wear it. Many people observed it as we moved about the crowd of about 3000. She saw many people pointing it out and mouths dropping open etc. Not one person gave a thumbs up or acknowledge it. The area voted about half and half Trump and Hillary, some Burnies and some Cruz. I know this is California but if I saw a person wearing one I would give a thumbs up or Nice shirt etc. Lots of stares, but no response good or bad. I would be surprised If he won California now, saw that there was lots of support here, and attended the Sacramento Rally, much enthusiasm etc, crowd was 95% white. Just was really a Surprise to me thought there would be more support for him there. Thought I would share it and get some input. Did not dampen my enthusiasm but was a bit surprising.

I had my Trump hat on a Charlie Daniels concert. I was the only one, but I got several thumbs up. Takes courage to wear the Trump clothing.

I think a lot of folks are keeping out of crowds right now. That would take in a lot of Trump folks that are scared of the crowds.

You may not have gotten thumbs but I am certain many warm hearts. Alot of people don't want to talk politics out with family and friends this weekend. For today, we are the silent majority :)

Here's a guy in FL showing his support. I talked to him and was surprised he wasn't a FReeper.  photo IMG_1164_zpste9hdmwh.jpg  photo IMG_1165_zpsuw8246uq.jpg

You’ve got to remember that most people are going to be closet Trump supporters. They are afraid to overtly support him due to the threat of physical violence, excommunication from their communities, potential loss of employment, etc.

I realized on the way to the fireworks that I had no hat, barrier agianst mosquitos and other bugs. My son had an extra in the care. The had had a "Clinton/Gore '96" button on the back. Perfect disguise for Portland, Maine! I was treated like a king.
