For quite a while, and after Donald Trump had been criminally convicted on 34 felony counts for falsified business records in what colloquially was called the Hush Money Trial, I would see a flag in someone’s yard that said “I’m Voting Convicted Felon 2024” in a yard on County Road 2008.I could not imagine what is wrong with the person who thought that was somehow a selling point for how to vote. However, I figured it was a local Republican, since they have, despite saying they are christians, no boundaries for ethical goodness. I don’t think any readers of Somervell County Salon have any misapprehension of what I think about the criminal who is currently in the White house but I’m always somewhat sorry when I see others that do not uphold the law and encourage others to venerate a law-breaker.I,, on the other hand, appreciate the members of the Somervell County Sheriff’s Department, for example, because I respect law and order and following the law (even when I believe that the local authorities have made mistakes that they need to rectify or risk losing the respect of citizens)
At one point while driving by, I took a picture of the flag in his yard.
The wind was blowing that day but you can clearly see that the flag Turner was flying was this one
Maybe he just thinks it was a good joke. Maybe if he gets elected, the citizens in Precinct 2 will appreciate that he’s the kind of guy who believes it’s okay to have a criminal as president. I don’t happen to believe someone like this will take their concerns seriously.
I suspect he may belong to the Republican party, which would make sense since they are the party of bigots and losers, who also find it enjoyable to give hero worship to a creep like Charlie Kirk. (Note that I one time ever voted in a Republican primary for someone and I deeply regret it because it was a Republican primary and feeled soiled for having done so).
Anyway, people do have choices on who to vote for and, unlike Trump, who wants to prevent people from voting at all, at least we citizens can do so in this county, even if I myself feel like the people who are Trump-lovers are no ones I want to associate with.
