4th of July Parade in our tiny, red Iowa town [View all]

part of a bright red county.

We drive the County Democratic Party float in most county parades during the summer. Well, DH does and I watch for people who leap in front of the truck, which happens more often than seems normal, but I digress.

A. Saw a LOT more not-white faces in the crowd.

B. Three separate instances of cheers.

C. No Boos, which is unusual; also no Trump or any Republican hats/shirts, etc. which is VERY unusual.

Doesn't mean we're turning blue, but it was good.

Today's parade was in the town we live in.
