I can’t decide if this is more or less weird than wearing a diaper in support of Trum…no…it’s less weird…right?

Are we 100% sure they're not also wearing diapers?

No! And that’s why I decided the diapers were weirder. Those folks had to go out of their way to announce they were wearing diapers.

I mean what even is the point of wearing a diaper in support of Trump if you don’t tell everyone?

I did not look at it from that angle, but you are 100% correct; the diapers are weirder. lol

I'm pretty sure. There would be no end of them telling/showing you.

Since these people aren't treating any ear injury, you might as well call these "ear diapers."

That is consistent with their usage of chin diapers that also had no medical use.
