On a recent trip to the Delmarva seashore, I visited the summer carnival that is Ocean City, Md. On the boardwalk, I checked out the T-shirts for sale to see what conservative America on the Atlantic Coast is thinking about national politics.
T-shirts on display portrayed President Joe Biden as a senile idiot and former President Donald Trump as an unrepentant jerk. Vice President Kamala Harris was mostly ignored.
One popular shirt was Trump flipping both middle fingers with the text “One for Joe, One for Kamala.” Others supported Trump’s planned reelection bid with “Trump 2024 – Miss Me Yet?”
The most popular phrase on political T-shirts was “Let’s Go Brandon!”, an anti-Biden chant.
Another turned Biden’s name into an acronym for “Brain-dead Idiot Destroying Entire Nation.”
And one shirt showed a befuddled Biden celebrating the fourth of July on St. Patrick’s Day.
In past years, boardwalk shops promoted a lot of pro-guns, Second Amendment T-shirts. But this year, they were nowhere to be seen. Even conservative America has lost its appetite for promoting guns after the mass shooting at the Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, on May 24 and the July 4 parade shooting in Highland Park, Ill.
