I just described myself as a Constitutional Nationalist.

NIce couple at the island yesterday riding bikes by the front of the house while I was getting my golf cart picked up to be returned (that's another story) and the wife's bike needed air..so they asked if I had a pump..."No, but I have an air compressor" so they came inside, long story sort my wife had to drive her to her house to get a pump with a special fitting but in the meantime I'm chatting with the husband, they are a bit younger than we are, early 60's and realizing they are Jewish folks from Connecticut I assumed they were democrats and eventually he asked me how felt about the political situation..."Well, I tell you, I'm a Constitutional Nationalist, I place America First and everybody else can line up and take a number"....Guy looked up and said "I get you". no more political talk.

I think I just created a political party.

I don’t think he was onboard…

Wife was telling our younger son and right of way he said “Tell dad not to talk politics”.

He figured you out and did not want a fist fight. Take his money and send him home.

He probably would have been petitioning to have you thrown off the island if you told him you were a Confederate Nationalist.

"Constitutional Nationalist?" I'll have to borrow that title for future use.

The last uncomfortable political discussion I had was this Fall. I volunteered to set up large election banners for a candidate (and personal friend of mine) here in Michigan. One day I had pulled off to the side of the road trying to figure out which parcel of land I was supposed to set up a banner. An elderly gentleman, pulled over introduced himself and was able to precisely tell me where each parcel was and who owned it. I thanked him profusely.

Then out of the blue, he starts talking about the upcoming 2024 presidential election. He turned out to be a die hard Trump hater and wanted to know exactly where I stood. Very awkward. I told him I supported Trump. His demeanor became aggressive and argumentative, citing all sort of Leftist BS. For the most part, I just shut up and let him rant while I set up the banner.

Had I been equally aggressive, our conversation could have easily escalated into a full fledged roadside shouting match or worse. Kind of a stupid move on his part. What sort of person tries to provoke an argument with random a stranger on the side of the road?

Not on that island. Very patriotic folks there with a very active veteran's association who every year start off the Fourth of July Parade presenting the colors, followed by a military Jeep with a Ma Duce mounted on the side.
