With every political event I attend, I realize more and more that there is a connection between these political events and the tailgate parties held outside of football stadiums before each game. Through these images and as I continue photographing political events in the future, my goal is to capture the feeling of tailgating parties but for politics.
The "us vs them" mentality is what most feel when we talk about sports, but within the political atmosphere it is becoming increasingly more visible especially during a polarizing time in our country.
