I just had a run in with a Trumper!

[imanamerican63]

I’m at a truck stop west St. Louis! I’m done for the day, so I went to truck stop to get couple of and went out to park my truck in a safe spot! The spot I picked was next to another truck. So, I began to backing into the spot. The Trumper was polishing the wheels and had his right door open, so I stopped and kindly walked up to him and asked him to close his door so I didn’t hit it. Well! Then he proceeds to call a F’n idiot and I didn’t know what I was doing and there where plenty of other spots I could have parked in. I said to him “ no need to to get rude and all I did was asked him to close his door”. He slammed the door shut and kept mouthing off! I ignored him and finished backing! Not saying another word him, he comes and bangs on my door and starts to yell at me! I ignored him again and finally screams out you f’n something or another Democrats need to leave this country! I just had enough and I laughed at him, asking him “what does politics have to with this”? He said that Trump would fix the country once for all! Then he moves his truck to another part of the truck stop! Another driver came over and was laughing too! He had seen it all and said he was confused why he got at me in the first? We both laughed and that was the end of it, thankfully!

1. I'm thinking a good number of trump's assholes

will give themselves coronaries in a few weeks so there will be even fewer of Them in 2024 😬

[Aviation Pro]

21. 2022

We need to harvest more Senators.

[MLAA]

23. True true! Good catch!

[ProfessorGAC]

2. Did You Have A Biden Sticker On Your Truck?

How the heck did he know you're a dem?

[imanamerican63]

5. Nope! Company doesn't allow any bumper sticker that is politically motivated.

[ProfessorGAC]

7. Makes Perfect Sense

My dad drove a semi. Local only. He delivered dairy products to a half dozen supermarkets each day.
I doubt they would have allowed that, even in the 60s & 70s when things were a bit less divisive.
I know that representing company management hundreds of times, it would have forbidden to discuss politics with customers. In fact, we were reminded yearly!

[mwooldri]

41. Good. My employer barely has anything on its trucks.

The name of the company, the DOT # and that's it. None of this VIN, GVWR, MCC, CVOR stuff.

I've seen a Werner truck decked out with Trump flags on the windows (like those sports team flags one might stick on the car windows) and a J&R Schugel truck parked at the Love's in Albert Lea MN with a huge ass *rump flag on a huge ass flag pole. Part of me wanted to call out the drivers on it, other part (which won over) was what the heck I got this glass to deliver.

[maddiemom]

30. Yes, imanamerican63 forgot a a relevant part of the story and what he was doing there(?)

[imanamerican63]

33. I am sure I explained that I was parking my truck to take a break.

I guess he figured since I asked nicely, I was a Democrat? I never stated anything about politics nor did I engage in any sort dialogue concerning politics! He just went off on me.

Sorry, I missed a word or two! It has been a long week and I am tired.

[maddiemom]

35. "to get a couple of......." Sorry, it just stopped there as printed.

But how DID he know your politics was just a mystery? OK

[imanamerican63]

40. I think he was just nuts!

Like I said I didn’t say anything about be a Democrat? I was confused just like you!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

3. Who knows why those people always seem so angry?

Of course, now it's probably because they know he's going to lose.

Stay safe, OK?

[Ferrets are Cool]

9. Oh, I don't for a second think that is the reason.

When are they NOT angry over something??? Unless it was November 4th 2016, and I'm sure they were angry then too for "some" reason.

[PatSeg]

28. I think at one point

they might have been disgruntled or dissatisfied, but Trump and right-wing media has given permission to express their anger outwardly. I also think a lot of them were relatively normal until they got brainwashed by nonstop talk radio and Fox News. Then along came Trump to light the fuse!

They weren't all angry and mean before, but they were all weak, impressionable, and intellectually lazy. Perfect candidates for brainwashing.

[Wellstone ruled]

10. These Piss Ants thrive on each other

all daylong ratchet jawing on their CB's. Same garbage just another day. BTW,most of those people don't have two nickels to rub together.

[crimycarny]

26. I agree 100%

Though the Trump supporter types seem to be bitter and angry in general, I've noticed an escalation in their anger. I think that's due to the stress of knowing Trump will likely lose.

[birdographer]

38. Yep

I think they are dealing with what will they do without their chosen-one god of a leader. I find it hard to believe that they are not aware on some level, however deep, that they have been backing the wrong horse all this time, except maybe the ones who NEVER expose themselves to anything but Fox. But even Fox occasionally disagrees with him. At this point it would be hard to not realize they are in the minority and they are going to lose. And then what? There goes their entire identity.

[crimycarny]

47. Seems there are two types of Trump supporters

My husband and I were just talking about this on our evening walk. You’ve got the racist, angry , bigoted supporters who seemed to be motivated by hate, regardless of who is spouting it (in this case it’s Trump). And then you’ve got the supporters who are far more difficult to figure out. Those who are intelligent and even kind. I have two Trump supporter friends who fall into this latter category and I just have the hardest time understanding how they, being the kind and generous people they are, support a man who does such vile things.

It seems to me this latter category seem to understand Trump is a horrible person, but to allow themselves license to continue to support him they convince themselves the other side is worse. Despite being intelligent people, they purposely don’t dig deeper into the truth than reading whatever right wing headline what fits into their long held views of the left being “bad” and the right being “good”.

Both seem equally unreachable unfortunately

[Major Nikon]

39. Because they are the sort who live in constant fear

Which is why they are so easily controlled with demagoguery. When the wheels start to come off that false reality, the more dangerous they become. They are a slave to their emotions.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

4. Thanks for posting. Sounds like he's in a tizzy over what he's hearing about the election.

Trump fatigue has set in on both sides of the fence and they're starting to feel like losers.

KY...........

[Talitha]

6. Glad it didn't come to physical violence, those people are nuts.

[Beachnutt]

8. If his trailer is sealed with a plastic seal ? Go pull it off

They'll give him hell at his delivery destination..

[imanamerican63]

11. Nope, I don't do things like that!

He will get over sooner than later?

[LiberalLoner]

13. 👍. Imagine how ugly it must be to live with all that hate all the time. I bet you feel

Calmer and at peace and have good feelings in general most of the time. He doesn’t. His punishment is just plain old being him, I think.

[TheBlackAdder]

37. Nah, most of the drivers keep their cameras running to catch accidents and vandals.

[Politicalgolfer]

12. Probably high on right wing radio...

...all day🙄

[cstanleytech]

24. Which is the majority of talk radio especially after how much of its been consolidated with the

majority now controlled by companies run by conservative extremists that seem to want to push the country back in time to before the 13th amendment was passed.

[denbot]

14. I hear ya brother.

I’m at the Ferris Truck stop just easy of ST Jo MO. I’m wearing a tee-shirt that seems less than popular with many in these parts.. LoL!

Crappy photo, but this is a very rare selfie.




Be safe driver.

[proud patriot]

32. lol love the shirt

[demmiblue]

36. +1

[reACTIONary]

42. +10 nt

[tavernier]

15. Saw a smile on your face and knew you weren't

a republican.

[Initech]

16. Why are Trump fans so angry and pissed off all the time?

And who are they angry at? I want to know!

[sarge43]

31. They're fearful and fearful people are often angry.

This country, the world, is changing. Trump promised them he wouldn't let that happen. Of course he lied. Trump considered them useful idiots. They're being left behind and they can't, they don't understand why.

They can't be angry at Trump. That would be an admission that they were wrong. So they're angry at anyone Trump tells them are responsible.

Because you were polite and well mannered, that was empathy and consideration, another quality they can't understand. That makes you the Other, the one Trump warned them about.

My take, FWIW

[beachbumbob]

17. reinforces my opinion that to be a GOP'er you have to have mental health issues that need

some addressing

[Trueblue Texan]

25. There are actually studies...

...that show there are more mental problems in the Right-wing of politics. To me, that's like conducting a study to see if water is wet.

[StarryNite]

18. tRump has not only enabled this kind of behavior, he's encouraged it.

Their hate will eat them alive.

[bluestarone]

19. It like when they deal with RUMP, somehow

Their brains get sucked out of their fucking heads! Un-fucking explainable i guess!!

[The Animator]

20. Asking someone to be slightly inconvenienced for a moment

out of consideration for someone else is really all it takes to be marked as a democrat these days.

[cstanleytech]

22. That guy seems to support Trump and at this point his supporters are either idiots or

Last edited Sat Oct 17, 2020, 09:12 PM - Edit history (1)

self serving pieces of shit with that guy falling into the piece of shit area.

[c-rational]

27. Good for you. You kept yur cool. Safe travels.

[JohnnyRingo]

29. I believe people like that see a lot of themselves in Trump.

...and they would run the country in exactly the same way.

If you look at it that way, it's not surprising why some people are so enamored with him.

[Major Nikon]

34. I've noticed they are getting a lot angrier lately

It’s a safe bet more are going cray cray in the next couple of months. Best to call the cops at the first sign they are about to pop their cork.

[KT2000]

43. they are triggered

all day, every day.

[lunasun]

44. three more weeks of their heads exploding anytime over anything ...until then?

.
You tried to enforce him away from his freedumb by asking him to get his door doncha know???

[Jon King]

45. They really are just pathetic...

Trump's father and himself and his kids have spent their entire lives pissing on workers, suppliers, tax laws, the religious, the military, the elderly. They literally would recoil in horror if any of the supporters came too close to them.

There is something profoundly pathetic of seeing a pick up truck with a Trump sticker or the blank eyes at his rallies. Some seriously damaged and empty human beings. When you hear them speak its like somehow they stopped progressing in cognitive skills at ages 4-5. They are very immature emotionally with no ability to feel empathy or see past the immediate. Bobby pushed girl on play ground, girl fell, girl cried, Bobby laughed.

In the end I think JohnnyRingo is correct, they see themselves in Trump. If daddy had left me money, if I had power....I would steal and cheat and bully and draft dodge and and marry paid escorts, etc.

[Sherman A1]

46. Sorry you had this experience

I was a Receiver at a grocery store in St.Lous for years before retiring. Appreciate all you guys do getting the goods to where they need to be delivered.

The guy is obviously stressed and I am guessing this election is making him more so.
