You can buy a tee shirt, hoodie or ball cap with just about any political slogan or statement, online. A new one I see promoted is a tee shirt with “Sorry No Vacancy, Deport them all” printed on it, referring to the invasion being permitted of illegal aliens. Speaking of that, how illegal are they if they’re allowed in like that by our government?
The problem with wearing your political beliefs on your chest is that some people really hate those beliefs of yours and may react very violently to you for displaying your opinion in front of them. It doesn’t matter what your beliefs are, some people will hate them and act out on you.
Politics used to be like religion. Both subjects were never discussed in polite conversation. It was considered rude. Now people shove both in each other’s faces. I think it’s because we’re getting so jammed together that many of us have lost our sense of individuality, so we turn ourselves into walking declarations of our beliefs to get attention.
There’s also the odd human fact that our groups of friends are usually 8 at most and with all the disruption, disease, fear, crime and so many strangers around us, many of us are down to only a few friends. Our groups of friends have shrunk to almost none and it leaves us feeling alone. So we do things to get attention, wear tee shirts with signs, block highways with Stop Fossil Fuels banners or demonstrate in front of embassies.
If you’ve wondered why people are doing this silly crap, now you know.
