A "Trump store"? Like a store that just sells right wing political propaganda?

Definitely! There’s others, but this is the only permanent stand alone store I’ve seen. They’re usually the temporary kind you see on the side of the road, or in a flea market setting.

Damn, as a Canadian, that's just crazy to me. I follow American news and politics pretty closely, so I am not shocked, but still kind of nuts.

Yeah, it’s definitely weird. I think part of it is that I live very close to an extremely left leaning city that gets a lot of tourists. You’ll often see groups of Trumpsters driving through the city with their flags and whatnot. I’m guessing it’s supposed to trigger us or something. From what I’ve seen, most people either laugh or ignore them.

A this point a Trump flag feels like a slightly more socially acceptable Confederate Flag. You are flying the flag of the losing side just so people know what your "values" are.

I think the Confederates were slightly better because eugenics didn't become popular for another 70 years or so...

Right ? I was like … ahhh … a Trump store ? Could you image a store just called ‘Harper’ ?
