Just heard the local news and did a double take when they said Trump is coming to Morrisville, NC. I live only 5 minutes away from the site that he is visiting.

(578 posts)weird to know that he's only going to be a 5 minute drive away from my home. I'm definitely going to feel his stench on Monday. I just wonder how many secret service people we are going to have around here. I work at home so I don't have to worry about driving anywhere.

(578 posts)I actually met the douchebag at a rally in NC back in 2016. He was standing right in front of me but I didn't shake his hand are say anything. I said back then inside my head while he was in front of me "There is no way in hell you are winning." Obviously I was wrong but hopefully I can make it up this time around since he's visiting my home and jinx him.

(23,239 posts)He came to my little city two years ago. It felt like a violation. We handled him though....we had protest signs on the mountains that his plane had to fly over...Lawrence ODonnell covered it that same night. Dont miss an opportunity to protest! It was invigorating to take part in showing that motherfucker what we are about here in Missoula, Montana.

(578 posts)on Monday just for fun. I'm sure we will have a large crowd of people show up to protest him.

I was seriously depressed when it became known he was coming here. Missoula is quite blue politically so it was definitely a fuck your to us from his campaign to violate our beautiful city. He knew what he was doing. The local Democratic Party did a great job mobilizing protestors. I was ready to stay in my house all day and avoid it all. The morning he was coming, I changed my mind...I got up, called some friends and we hit it hard. We spent the whole day marching, laughing, flying our baby trump balloons and it was just the best day. The Thief in Chief was not successful in stealing anything from us that day.

(578 posts)that is 20 minutes away from Raleigh which is a large blue city. My county is also super blue. So I expect there will be a lot of people who will come down here to protest him.

(851 posts)You can hang signs from the overpasses. Number of Covid deaths, multiples of 911 and Benghazi, or just traitor or whatever suits your fancy. With luck, you have lots of overpasses and lots of old sheets. There are certainly enough topics to choose from.

(6,095 posts)When any president travels by car, all the overpasses are heavily patrolled by various police. Hard to hang anything on them.

(31,319 posts)on the other side of McCrimmon Pkway at Twin Lakes. Moved a little farther west last September to Amberly.
It will be a very short drive from the airport to the biotech company location which is probably one reason it was selected.
He's going to lose NC this time.
Jspur
(578 posts)the biotech company is a very short drive and like you said that's what made me think why Trump's people picked that spot.

(578 posts)this time around but you just never know with this state being purple. If Biden wins here I think it will be a nail biter like when Obama won here in '08.

(578 posts)terrible way. Sucks to be part of that moment historically even though for you it was indirect participation.
