Trucks, Physique and Patriotism

Went to the health club and noticed all the huge, beefed up pick-up trucks in the parking lot, many adorned with Patriotic insignia. In the locker room were guys wearing American flag t shirts and other USA gear. Then I noticed all the massive, beefed-up guys (and a few gals) in the gym, working out. This leads to my amatuer sociological analysis, that these 20 somethings are people who went into the military, probably apolitical, were indoctrinated in Americanism, and now identify with large, powerful vehicles and bodies. They were able to buy these expensive gas hogs with the money they made in Iraq or Afghanistan or serving on any of the 700 plus bases the US has around the world. The other notable sighting was a young gal in pink tights showing off her huge butt. According to my wife, she is a butt specialist, advertises classes on facebook for increasing the size of your butt. It's a thing.I don't do facebook and miss so much. All of this only makes sense in a country that is experiencing a record heat wave (116 degrees in Sacramento) while passing legislation to make the permitting of fossil fuel infrastructure EASIER. The death drive takes many forms.
