Early last week, I was at the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library for its first weekend. At the library itself, despite President Donald Trump inserting himself incongruously into the opening ceremonies, I did not see a single person sporting a Trump-branded clothing item.

The town of Medora, North Dakota, itself was, however, a different story. It wasn’t overwhelming. But for someone who lives in an urban center of a blue state, where even in the ruby red rural areas most people have become sufficiently shamed to shut up about their MAGA tendencies, a single errant MAGA cap is a rarity.

It does. My wife realized that she has outgrown her family. She can't detach herself from her family, and I think that the aggressive way they hold on to each other fixes a lot of issues.

My own mother doesn't understand and has an excuse for everything. We were already distancing ourselves 10 years before MAGA, so it doesn't hurt so much. Watching her say that you MUST BE A GOOD CITIZEN AND LISTEN TO THE PRESIDENT after four years of watching her trash talk Biden is a trip. I didn't particularly care to stand between her and whatever she had to say then, but the hypocritical irony is right there.
