MAGA at a Gym in Houston

As part of breaking the population out of the "enemy containment," there is nothing more fun than to go to the grocery store, the local gym, or whatever other public activity, and proudly wear Trump gear, be it a hat, a shirt, a pin, or anything that indicates support for his Presidency.

Just recently in Houston, a Promethean PAC organizer, after wearing such gear to a local gym over a period of time, ended up having some interesting conversations. This included two young Black men who, when engaged, each indicated they were not interested in identity politics. They wanted to know what are the policies required to turn this country around. In a another case, the young (probably in his 30s), Black manager of the gym came up and, with no prodding, admitted this was the first time he would vote Republican. "I want to hear policy and solutions."

Key to this kind of interaction is to have at hand the Promethean PAC leaflet on the Republican Platform. Or get them to the Promethean Action and Promethean PAC websites.

In another case, a long-time contact who has often been skeptical, if not cynical, called up an organizer to be sure it would be ok to give her phone number to someone he had been talking to about politics. He sees us as the people who have, for years, talked about the crisis and put forward the only solutions that will work.
