About 20 or so trucks that they kept running in circles around a couple of blocks to make it look like a lot.
And, at our four way stop, they had some white-haired dude directing traffic, demanding that people just trying to get somewhere stop to let all the morons through at the same time.
I'm so over these people. Just done with them all.
Noted a few local business owners. Have further noted that I will not do business with them. Ever. Again.
Wrote them down when I got home, just to be sure.

(16,105 posts)Um, they are never silent about anything, they broadcast every idiotic thought that goes through their heads.
I think there are more "shy" Democrats because the MAGATs are unstable and dangerous.
Claustrum
(4,845 posts)because the main stream republicans were horrified by the "Access Hollywood" tapes but end up voting for him due to Comey letter or whatever. But after Trump's win, they all came out from under the rock and join Trump's parade.
I agree with you. In 2020, there's more "shy" democrats/independent because of their aggressive support of Trump.

Let em hit my car and see how that goes
Bettie
(16,105 posts)That's how I noted the business owners. We live in a small town and I have tried to do business locally when I can. I'll be doing a little less locally now.
I may or may not have been saying "Fuck You" over and over while waiting for the morons to pass.
My beloved husband has asked me to wait until I've calmed down before writing a letter. He's probably right.

(14,047 posts)I was just passing through. and found myself in the middle of the parade. Just kept driving since I could see that it was an endless circle-jerk. And I decided not to stop for dinner since I would have almost certainly been in a restaurant full of maskless-MAGAs.
The words of the elder Dr. Jones from "...Last Crusade" kept repeating in my mind: "My boy, we are Pilgrims in an Unholy Land".

(70,504 posts)Trump & company have pissed away all their money by starting a re-election campaign in 2017. So
all they have left is pick up truck and boat parades.

(9,423 posts)and hung a huge RUMP flag on her garage. I cannot respect someone who supports a lying con man who disrespects the military and most importantly breaks his oath to defend the Constitution. When u know the facts, but choose to lie and people die u are a traitor to that oath. U support him u are no better than him.

(31,261 posts)we vote. Hopefully they ended their parade by sequentially going around and licking eachothers face. The parade was full of pickups and old SUVs, a couple of large dump trucks. Didnt see and high end vehicles in that farce.

(2,541 posts)Ive had it with these people. Ive been patient long enough. Ive been tolerant, we are all entitled to our point of view. Ive been respectful...but Im done.
Over 225,000 Americans have died. These Americans died alone, isolated. I was care giver for my mom, dad, grandmother. I could not image going thru the last days/hours of your life and not be to hold the hand of or feel the hug of a friend or family and these people think its a hoax still, today DT at his rally was joking about this and the crowd laughed and cheered with him. These people are happy that blue states have been hit so hard so seeing some of their comments about the wildfires in California and the people that died in those was disgusting. As far as I am concerned these people can go eff off. I am not going to feel one bit of sympathy for these people and hate that. I hate that i have allowed them have this visceral effect on me.
I will never forgive them, theyre on the permanent PNG list.
/end vent, rage rant. 😐

(2,146 posts)They will destroy the very principles America was founded upon just so they can have their way. Give them no quarter. They are the traitors. They hate the rights we are given in the Constitution. They hate democracy.

They are the most unpleasant people in town.

(16,296 posts)I noticed a truck, Trump flags flying-Don't tread on me- all that B.S. - and thought, "Just a nut". Ten minutes later, same truck going in the opposite lane. Another 10 min. opposite lane, flags flying.
I was there for over an hour and the same truck was obviously making a circle going back and forth. I saw his truck the next day doing the same thing. Guess he's got a lot of gas and few brains.

Sometimes I shake my head in wonder. What is wrong with people?
I'm a loyal democratic Joe Biden supporter, but I don't have an 6X10 flag sticking out of my sunroof.

(13,569 posts)Round and round and round the block they go. Horns blaring. One guy in each vehicle.
People on the sidewalk have started booing them and flipping them off. As I will tomorrow.
