They've really fallen off in popularity over the years. I remember back in 2017/2018, it wasn't unusual to see people wandering through downtown Houston in a hat or t-shirt, declaring their allegiance. You'd even get the odd jacked up F-350 with a giant American flag and a ton of pro-Trump graffiti just doing laps on 610 or crisscrossing downtown, particularly on national holidays or after big sporting events.

Now, I'll see a bit of that shit up in the Woodlands or our in Clear Lake. But its nearly extinct in downtown, even when there's a big gun show at the George R. Brown convention center. MAGA stock has tanked.
