Re. political clothing (yes, I'm several weeks behind with these podcasts), I've worn Obama t-shirts - here in Nebraska, which is a very red state - off and on since 2008. These days, I regularly wear RESIST t-shirts, including one that makes the '45' look like a swastika. I wear an "Obama Lama DingDong" t-shirt with pictures of Obama, the Dalai Lama, and Trump. (It's pretty funny.) I wear atheist t-shirts, and I've got a "Friendly Neighborhood Atheist" bumper sticker on my pickup. I've got a blue "Make America America Again" cap, as well as "ITMFA." Long story short, I've NEVER had even a negative comment about any of them. I've had compliments sometimes, but that's all. No one has vandalized my truck. I think the fear about overreactions is hugely overblown. (Note that I'm retired. I never wore this stuff at work, because neither politics nor religion were appropriate at work. But I wear these things everywhere else. Well, maybe not to funerals. :)
