    I appreciate what you did and the sacrifice of you being there. But I don’t want to listen to their lies. I am glad to see such a poor turn out. We had a better turn out at a Democratic dinner that was $85.00 per plate with over 300 attending just a couple of weeks ago.

A Gathering of MAGAts

Published 2022-06-12

MAGA – “Make America Great Again” –  was the dubious and outlandish theme chosen by the scandal-ridden administration of US President Donald Trump. By simply wearing a red shirt and cap, and paying a nominal entrance fee, I was successful in gaining entrance to a pro-Republican Party event, “Rock the Red,” held in mid June, 2022, in one of the most conservative incubation regions of the USA, central Florida.  This, in contrast, to the many demonstrators held at bay outside of the venue. My costume, if you will, prompted participants to their guard down, so I could photograph freely and conduct interviews for some six hours without incident.

I have documented foreign cultures throughout the world for more than forty years, which was a helpful skill set, but the last time I was at a Republican Party function was as a teen, when I snuck into the 1972 Republican Convention in Miami Beach, Florida.  In the recent event, presenters and attendees in the arena in which the event was held for that day happily trumpeted Trumpian lies and unfounded conspiracy claims regarding his electoral loss and more.
