A Cool Day in Half Moon Bay (CA)

The population is still reveling in Biden’s disastrous performance in the debate. Promethean PAC organizers, including a young activist from San Francisco who’s been organizing on his own and with friends there, deployed to the coastal town of Half Moon Bay. This is a tourist area and, particularly on hot days, people come from all over to escape the heat. We met people from the Livermore area, the Central Valley, and tourists from as far away as New York and Texas. Despite some die-hard anti-Trumpers letting off a bit of steam, we found a lot of support for Trump and people were happy to see us out “in such a liberal area.”

Our new organizer engaged a man in a short back-and-forth and he donated $100 and showed us his hilarious Rabelaisian meme against Biden and the Dems. One organizer was giving people the bigger picture of the fight by posing the threats of war and financial breakdown, referencing Hungary's President Victor Orban, the new leader of the European Council, and his diplomacy to end the Ukraine war and his promotion of Trump as a man of peace. A high school student who came up saying he was too young to vote, was clearly intelligent and supportive of Trump. He took literature to read and wants to get on our website. His mom, who stated that she and her son had differing views on things, nevertheless appeared to be happy that her son was engaging in discussion– she did nothing to discourage him.
