16. Have been all over recently for work and a family trip ...the only place I saw a lot of TFG signs was in part Gym JOrdan

Oct 2024

Was visiting Ohio NOrthern University to see son#2. Saw Harris signs in Ada. Went to Bluffton to eat -- lots of TFG and Gym JOrdan signs, Pretty racist area. Restaurant had both the black with blue stripe and black with red stripe hanging vertically on the wall along with a sign on the door that "We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone. The management" So -- pretty blatant in teh authoritarian sympathetic to white supremacists there. If we had not previously aranged to meet the son there because it was convenient to him and our hotel, I would likely have not eaten there.

In Mississippi, Alabama, and Louisiana with a lot of driving and saw surprising few signs for TFG and almost as many "not going back" type of signs.

In 2016, all over the nortwest Ohio area when we visited ONU with son #1 was plastered with TFG signs.
