Wearing a Trump shirt in Florida is like wearing a Rolling Stones shirt at a Rolling Stones concert. In cities such as Berkeley, Madison, or Portland, however, it\u2019s like wearing an M16 covered in dead babies of color. Liberals have built The Donald up to such a ridiculous straw man of pure villainy, showing support for him is worse than throwing acid in someone\u2019s face<\/a>. New York Times<\/em> editorial writer Brent Staples recently asked, \u201cWhat planet do they come from, these people who argue that a totalitarian, white supremacist government would [be] good for democracy\u2026.\u201d New York is an interesting city to support Trump in because although it hasn\u2019t voted for a Republican president since Coolidge<\/a>, there are still plenty of hardscrabble blue collars who don\u2019t fit Cruz\u2019s \u201cNew York values<\/a>\u201d stereotype. Within only a couple of miles, you can go from retired cops to mobsters to third-generation welfare Puerto Ricans to middle-class hipsters to Wall Street billionaires. The blacks in Harlem think the blacks in Brooklyn are lazy losers who wear outdated jeans. It\u2019s called a melting pot, but it\u2019s really several dozen totally distinct cultures that manage to coexist without saying a word to each other, ever. I\u2019d be surprised if even one Upper East Side Jew has ever met a Hasidic Jew from Williamsburg.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s where I started my journey. I wore a \u201cMake America Great Again\u201d hat and shirt to a hipster bar called Nitehawk in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. The venue doubles as a movie theater and is the epicenter of a cool-kid enclave that has become so yuppified, the real estate is now more expensive than Manhattan\u2019s. I noticed some smiles as I sat down at the bar, and people nodded their heads and even raised the occasional glass. I said, \u201cThanks\u201d and was pleasantly surprised until I realized they assumed I was being ironic. \u201cWhere did you get that?\u201d asked one grinning millennial on a date. I said, \u201cThe website<\/a>,\u201d and my new friend glared at me with a confused face. \u201cYou support Trump?\u201d he asked, on the off chance I was serious. \u201cI most certainly do,\u201d I responded. He laughed and faced the bar, deciding it wasn\u2019t worth his time to try to figure out how serious I was. This happened several times throughout the night, with people smiling, then looking confused, then giving up.<\/p>\n

The next day I was still in the neighborhood (I\u2019m selling my place there) and could walk down the street with the shameless glory only the morning sun can provide. Williamsburg doesn\u2019t get busy until around 11 a.m., but the few stragglers walking to work or home alone from a one-night stand were not like their peers from last night. I thought I\u2019d get sneers, but what I got\u2014almost without exception\u2014was capitulation. When people looked at me, I\u2019d happily return their gaze and they\u2019d inevitably face the ground. They didn\u2019t look disappointed. They looked cowed. This is what I\u2019ve always suspected. They don\u2019t want to smash the patriarchy. They want to rail against the patriarchy, unless of course, it has a problem with that, in which case, well, uh, nothing, sorry. Jared Taylor discovered this phenomenon<\/a> after chasing down a necklace snatcher in New York City many years ago.<\/p>\n

[The thief] then did something that saved him from a terrific beating. He went completely limp. He laid his head back on the sidewalk, stretched out his throat, put his hands up by his head, and opened them wide. He was holding a gold-colored necklace, which he let me take without the slightest resistance.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

It feels great wearing this shirt around liberals, and it\u2019s not just because they\u2019re offended. Wearing a photorealistic shirt of a vagina would offend old ladies, but that would feel needlessly intrusive. This is more like being on the winning team. When Tampa Bay won the Super Bowl back in 2003, I was hanging out with a New Yorker from Tampa and he was wearing the Buccaneers jersey. He was fighting anyone who had a problem and doing shots and picking up girls like he owned the world. During a break in the festivities, he came up to me holding the front of his shirt out and said, \u201cI feel like a superhero.\u201d I finally understand what he was talking about.<\/p>\n
