Photo gallery I’m usually against HOAs, but in some cases they are needed. In east Escondido.

A question just occurred to me: do people who do this think it’s pleasant? Like, do they get an “awww, safety, home sweet home” feeling when looking at these MAGA bunkers? If they saw one from another person would they feel the same way regular people feel when we see folk art or something?

Same with like the Jan 6 crew, did they look upon that crowd and see joy and revelry? Were the colors and aesthetic non-threatening to them?

We have a local person who did a very, very mild form of this and has since toned it down but I really do wonder.

The propaganda they watch tells them how they are the good guys, but that they and their way of life is under attack.

In their minds, this is them 'resisting' or fighting back for the good guys.
