This morning we joined Missouri Democrats at the Missouri Democratic Party tent at the state fair in Sedalia. We sat in the shade, conversed, people watched, and engaged with many passersby. Unlike last year, there was no overt hostility from the MAGA cult. There was the occasional glare. You’re welcome.
We did get a lot of friendly waves, friendly and supportive comments, and good conversations. Good Democrats and others were happy to see us there (they told us so) and they thanked us.
Flowers in the median on West 16th Street, near the entrance to the state fair.
At the edge of the parking lot, just outside the main ticket entrance:
He was there when we arrived at 10:00 a.m., he was there when we left around 1:00 p.m. The temperature was in the 90s.
Comfort food:
In almost every direction you look at the state fair.
The Missouri Democratic Party tent:
“You shouldn’t need a passport to vote”
“Democrats support education”
The republican tent, down the street, didn’t appear to be open for business.
A vendor, apparently catering to the MAGA crowd:

The usual suspects have been strangely silent about “Second Amendment Solutions” these days. I wonder why?
Just words, no action:
“The Second Amendment isn’t for hunting”
Irony challenged:
“My rights don’t end where your feelings begin”
“We the people are pissed off”
You can say that again.
The large flag on the fair grounds, wind from the south:
In the parking lot – on the way out:
“Don’t tread on my gun rights, freedom first”
Missed it by that much.
