We are using the Sturgis Rally as the backdrop for the sole reason that the Sturgis Rally is the backdrop. Not for one second do we think that every biker or even every biker at Sturgis is a white nationalist, MAGA Nazi. On the other hand, one wouldn’t find the type of hats we see below for sale outside the Hayden Planetarium, they are found at the Sturgis Rally and at similar cultural types of events.

The point isn’t the event or the hat, the point is the people who attend the events and buy the hats. Now, those people, we’re fully comfortable saying that they’re Trump “voters” and people that would give up their right to vote in order to have Trump as president for life, unconstrained by the “normal laws,” since Trump would know best how to “get things done.”

In other words, these are the type of people that would be more than happy to usher in the fascist Amerika and then god only knows what happens after that. We don’t know whether there is a big market for this type of stuff, we only know that there is a market and again – it’s not all the bike riders out there – but, they’re not sold at your local university bookstore, either. We also know that the market for MAGA seems to be slightly diminishing, leaving only the most dangerous and hardcore.

And from the local news: (Video below – under tweets)

“A lot of bikers, you know, its freedom thing. A lot of bikers want to be free and voice their opinion and I like to cater to what they want. It doesn’t mean that I necessarily believe in everything but, you know, I like to please everybody,” said one vendor, Jenny Alonso.

Yeah, it’s a “freedom to do what you want to minorities based on strength in numbers and attitude.” There is nothing at all “healthy” about the freedom they’re talking about.

People we rightfully disgusted:

I thought it was a well-known thing that motorcycle culture is rooted in White Supremacy, is this new to some people?

Btw, in Germany, the display of numerous symbols from the Nazi era and from right-wing extremist associations banned after 1945 is punishable by law (up to 3 yrs in prison or fine). This includes at least 2 signs I see in this photo.

They showed up to an event with 100's of 1,000's-mostly unvaccinated with no masks-from all over the country-where they will return & infect their family & friends-many of whom will get very ill & some will die-so ignorance, bigotry & hate playing roll-not surprising.
