Day 1: Democracy Freedom Fighter in Rogue Red Oklahoma

I picked up my signs.

PUTIN-trump 2020:Rigging Elections Since 2016

I put my sign in a bucket of dirt and placed it in the back of my pickup before I crawled home in the rush hour traffic in northwest Oklahoma City.

It’s a huge sign. A veritable mini-billboard. There’s no way it couldn’t be seen.

I had no idea what to expect at the traffic stops. I had my Gran Torino black baseball bat next to me just in case.

Nothing. Not a taunt. Not a stare. Not an obscene gesture from any around me. Maybe they’re embarrassed they sold their vote to a human junk bond for a meaningless tax break.

Maybe the recent election of Kendra Horn to the U.S. Congress was a sign this part of Oklahoma isn’t Mississippi. I don’t know.

The sign in rush hour traffic will become a deal with me.

Maybe Dave Chappelle is right. They’re not really deplorable. They just need a gesture from someone since we know they won’t get that gesture from anyone in Oklahoma state government.

I have no idea. But I do know it’s time for Oklahoma to grow up.

Oklahoma.. please grow up. This is pathetic.
