I visited Florida's biggest flea market the first day it was open after the election just to see what it was all about. I knew Sumter County was a Republican area but I had no idea there would be so many Trump shops at the Swap-O-Rama's Webster Westside Flea Market. The market has 3 Trump shops, plus random Trump merch for sale at stalls that sell other stuff. There is also a roadside Trump merch shop a few blocks away from the market but we didn't stop at that one.
This isn't intended to be a partisan video as I like to keep my channel focused on travel and non-partisan. But one of the nice things about travel is that you're exposed to different people and different viewpoints. I live in the liberal city of St. Petersburg, so while there are definitely Trump voters around, not many of them are hardcore Trump superfans, like the kind I met in Webster.
Our country is so residentially and ideologically segregated that many of us live in places that are either overwhelmingly liberal or conservative. Partisan media shows us the extremists on both sides and so people get a distorted view of reality. The media (and social media) effectively divides us and inspires us to hate each other. Travel cannot solve every problem but exposing yourself to different cultures and subcultures is never a bad idea.
I enjoy visiting places that are totally different and Webster certainly is compared to St. Pete, even though they are only a little more than an hour apart. Everyone I met was very nice to me and my family and I look forward to returning again sometime. The Florida Cracker restaurant was outstanding!
