Return of the Silent Majority
By Mark C. Ross
Here I am, in deep blue Oakland, California…walking around my neighborhood while wearing a camo-MAGA-Trump ball cap. Pepper spray at the ready, just in case I wind up in a “situation.” Instead, however, I receive mostly sincere compliments.
Just the other day a guy noticed my ball cap and just went rhapsodic over Trump while also thanking me for my effort. Turns out he’s a Teamster. Not only that, he’s also a shop steward. He firmly confirmed that Trump is immensely popular among the rank-and-file.
Then I came upon a city public works crew that was setting up a job site. After satisfying my curiosity over what they were going to do, I began to walk away…and the fellow I was talking to just blurted out “I really like your hat.”
Meanwhile there are many Harris/Walz yard signs—and zero Trump/Vance signs. Being conspicuous can lead to slashed tires and/or broken windows…thanks to the alleged tolerance of woke progressives. Thus, people like me are inclined to keep our opinions to ourselves. Yet we persist. This may also explain why Trump has outperformed his polling numbers in his previous campaigns.
