It's a flea market, specialized to retirees from the colder parts, lots of ex-military. Over the past 30 years have gone there about every 2-3 years once or twice per those years.
Was there last month and was zapped at the sight of *one* vendor's post that featured decorated mailboxes, one with a " (SHITLER) 2020" motif. I had the inward wretching gagging sensation and skipped on by.
But today, not only were there now MANY vendors with SHITLER crap, especially the red caps, but also many in the crowd wearing the damned caps. One a-hole had a little group around him, preaching crap about "the Democrats." As I approached, to pass them by, he and I locked eyes as though we have radar on *ENEMY*.
It was like the swasticas in Cabaret.

(25,862 posts)I'm guessing from your comment that you and I have clashed, and so I'll make a blanket apology for any insult or harm or negative thing I've ever done, or said, or thrown in your direction.
I know that I frequently get into it with other DUers, but I almost never pay attention to who the poster was I disagreed with.
In any case, I'm glad I could post something you appreciate.

It's so sad that we get old and get mocked being old.

(25,862 posts)I understand that in the original Broadway version of Cabaret, that this song was song in shorter versions at various points during the play. I expect that had an equally powerful, if different, impact.

(9,114 posts)No vendors. One guy tried to make a couple food vendors also sell his Rump 2020 gear, and the vendors just laughed at him.
You may have a legit groundswell in favor of him, there, or maybe it's non-organic, astroturf. The repugs always have money to fake a populist backing.
My impression is the guy you locked eyes with is the guy who threw this, they have to listen and pay attention to him preach, and he's not paying attention to them, but looking around to see the effect he's having, at large.
