Bos has two daughters, with a third due in January. At the grocery store, five items cost as much as a full cart once did. And on Wednesday, Bos and nearly 1,400 other people were laid off from their jobs at what had been the Navistar truck factory in southwestern Ohio.

Asked how many times he had voted for Trump, Bos held up three tattooed fingers. But he said he’s done with the president.

It's existed since he first announced running in like 2015. They do know about it and they don't care.

    Jordan Klepper has skits from the 2016 run through the attack on the capital where he would mingle with MAGAs when they gathered, because he looked like them. (Not much on the violent coup attempt, his fear in that crowd was evident, he grabbed footage at the edge then noped out).

    He did get past the evade replies regarding bad things Trump was doing, occasionally, to the true reply which was exactly as you said: I don’t care.

    We laugh at the evade replies because they’re so ridiculous, but the “I don’t care” is the real answer.

    Exactly. We are so far beyond "do they know." Imo these people should be culpable too to some degree. And I do have loved ones in the cult, which I'm sure we all do because it's so massive.

    We're never going to get through this kind of shit if we keep giving fascists the benefit of the doubt. They will not give it to you and they applaud violence on innocent people, hate, inequality, etc.

    There is no doubt on their side, why are we not listening to who these people are saying they are? They literally gloat about it. That's what those hats became, very quickly. It's a brag that they can be openly hateful now. Fuck that.
