Not for nothing but there were MAGA protestors in Swampscott constantly harassing Baker during COVID.

I don’t know where those hillbilly’s came from, how they got their menagerie of Trump flags, or what they thought they were trying to accomplish, but I can imagine Baker just saying “this isn’t worth it” pretty quickly after that.

Baker couldn’t bring himself to suck up to the MAGA people. I remember a bunch of Trump supporters in Falmouth waiving flags and signs before 2020. I stifled a laugh. They looked ridiculous. And then last October, the frowning older white men and their sad looking wife waiving Diehl signs in Sudbury. Boy those people looked they’d bought into the “chaos in the streets” rhetoric of DJT. Just melancholy people longing for the 1950s.

I still remember the wizened tanning-bed denizen, bedecked in Trump regalia, who took over the inside of a Honey Dew donuts in Methuen hours before a New Hampshuh Trump rally. Was she yelling in support of Trump? The earned income tax credit? Nah, just shrieking about Hillary and jail.

This was in 2020.

I forgot about that. Really played themselves on that one.
