I've seen videos of what this "fair" consists of and it makes local small county fairs look like trips to Disney World.

There's nothing there. An Arch that is a glorified diorama, a ferris wheel that apparently doesn't work most of the time, and state exhibits that look like a high school science fair. and everything is covered in graphic tarps.

Imagine spending money, vacation time, and dealing with a heat wave to attend something in order to "stick it to the libs". I mean shit man these people can just send me their money and I'll make a twitter post saying "libs aren't cool". does just about the same thing as going to a crappy tarp fair.

If they didn't have "stick it to the libs", they wouldn't have anything
