If there was any convoy merch that this guy didn’t buy and slap on the back of his truck, it clearly wasn’t for a lack of trying.
I remember when I was a kid, any fascination with something would end up displayed on my pyjamas, my clothing, my bike, my glassware, and my lunchbox that I brought to school.
Batman, Superman, Sergeant Fury, my favourite hockey team, you name it, if I had a crush on whatever it was, it would end up all over the physical elements of my existence. It was like this for most boys and girls, and it remains that way today.
We were kids and it made us happy.
We grow up to be adults, sometimes unhappy ones, but the markings of the things we like/admire tend to disappear from the public face of us, or at least become somewhat less obvious. But I guess some adults like to carry this need with them as they grow. Lord knows there’s no shortage of adult cartoon characters like Donald Trump out there selling merchandise for the disaffected.
I watch television, follow sports, have a casual interest in politics, and am generally still interested in things, some more than others. But I can’t, for the life of me, see myself plastering my $100,000 truck with decals for any cause, much less one that reveals to the general public my lack of acuity when it comes to legal freedoms, public health, contagion, and what it means to be a responsible citizen.
If it makes this fellow super happy to display his anti-government sentiments, or more likely his anti-Liberal sentiments, then so be it. I mean, really, he’s not going to be alone in that. And at least he’s not disrespecting the flag.
I wonder if his man cave is all decked out in a similar fashion. Does he have the corresponding t-shirt, sweatshirt, and hoodie? Did he name his goldfish “Convoy?” Does he have the lunch box?
Not to be picky or anything, but to me, anyone driving around with a “fuck you, anything” decal in public loses a lot of credibility quickly and doesn’t seem to really give a shit about much, other than perhaps his own personal beliefs and the all-too-many others who believe similarly.
Well done, dude. Don’t let anyone or anything tell you what to do. You’re your own man, not some fringe guy who can be ordered around. Don’t let anyone tell you any different.
Good for you.
