Trump Parade

Yesterday, I spent my time cleaning bathrooms and doing laundry. By the end of the afternoon, I wanted to watch the World Series. I did not want to cook. My husband went into town to a local restaurant to pick up some takeout. We would like to keep this restaurant in business, and they have good tacos.

Little did he know that there was a trumper parade going on. There were about a dozen of those fools, flying their trump flags and their confederate flags from their pickups and honking up a storm. He could not tell if they were local or imported assholes.

He went inside and picked up the tacos. I hope he was not in contact with any of the maskless morons. I worry about him.

On the way back to his truck, he noticed that one of the morons had an especially stupid vanity plate. It said, "IM ARMD."

Get it? I'm Armed.

What in the everlasting flaming hell? Every farmer up and down my road is armed. Some of us are good shots, too. Don't they realize that? We have critters who damage our yards, crops and buildings. They kill our barn cats, scatter garbage and eat all the sweet corn out of the garden. Of course we are armed! We don't have to brag about it.

Also, when we have time, some of us like to hunt. A little extra meat in the freezer is very helpful in the winter. This might be just the year to have something put away.

Don't they realize that a good many Democrats, like my husband, are veterans? You would not believe what a good shot he is! He doesn't find it necessary to brag about it. He doesn't need to imply that he is willing to shoot people who oppose him politically.

I am a 72 year old farmer's wife. I am five foot nothing, and I am armed, too, you dickless wonders.

I feel no need to be afraid of these noisy nobodies. November 3 will be here soon.

Even though I am far more likely to shoot you with the garden hose, I'm armed. Go home to mamma, little boys. You are a joke.

The silly assed "Trump Train" passed through here yesterday. I ignored it, and went to vote.

I am a 56 year old librarian. Native North Carolinian. Most all of us here in the South know how to shoot, own guns, and don't feel the need to brag about it.

Was near Western Carolina U yesterday. Saw one of the Caravans lining up in a parking lot getting ready to parade their VANILLA ISIS somewhere to terrorize. Remember all the ranting about Latino caravans? Mother F’ing projecting GOP. I was a Navy sniper. Not afraid of bubba militia. Stand by my oath. Foreign “and” domestic terrorists.

state gas drilling and pipeline workers. You see plates from Texas, Louisiana, Alabama and North Dakota mainly.
They assemble every Saturday and drive around the valley. Yesterday I was at the mall for a hour or so. They were assembled
at an oil and gas supply store on the mall perimeter. They drove around and around the mall with their stupid Trump, Rebel and
American flags waving blowing their horns. The people that work those jobs are young overpaid assholes.
Democrats did a caravan last week which I wish I had known about, those assholes followed them and heckled them wherever they went.

Every candidate in this area wants my yard. It is fun!

The state and local candidates have asked me to take my signs down once voting is over. I am supposed to save them. Our central committee and the committee south of me have decided to leave the Biden signs up for a while. We may not know the results right away. Our yard is private property and the repiggies can go fuck themselves.

I have a couple of real good right wing friends and we are able to debate politics with success. No anger just opinion and a lot of ball busting. They know I have guns and that I have recently gotten my carry permit. But for some reason they think the vast majority of Democrats do not have guns. I never understood that position. A lot of people on the right think we will just roll over if they come after us. The south thought the north would not fight when they started the treasonous civil war. That was a big mistake.

One comment, I prefer to call the confederate flag the flag of treason. We as a nation need to stop celebrating treason. That flag needs to be burned.

That was one of the pranks I pulled on my buddies. I made a paper copy of the flag of treason and burned it on my solo stove. Made a video and sent it to them. They called me a richard cranium. What ever that means. Good fun.

Not sure why they think Dems are scared of them. They can't go into any city as guns are everywhere. Like the OP said, farmers all have guns despite their politics. We are in the suburbs but have guns, my kid learned to shoot at age 12. Most of the military rank and file are minorities.

So they can't do anything in a city, can't do anything in the middle of farm land, can't do much in most suburbs. And the military is not on their side.

Not really sure where these right wingers think their guns will give them any advantage. Like anything, just a worthless security blanket to make them feel better.

In the end almost all of them are cowards. Its hilarious when these 6'3" 230 lbs guys with assault rifles were at the Michigan statehouse and they looked scared to death when a tiny protestor stood in front of them. When Trump loses all but a handful will simply whine and moan about how "its not fair".

phallic extensions or replacements. Toxic, insecure "masculinity".

They really do believe, or at least tell themselves, that liberals, left-wingers, Dems, are afraid of, don't own weapons. I know at least a dozen just in my small circle, men and women, some of them retired vets, who own guns, and are very good shots. The contents of at least two of their gun safes should give these morans pause.

On a different note: have you ever heard Kristin Lems' song, "Farmer"?

Sun Oct 25, 2020, 12:08 PM
Oct 2020

“ “It’s the fear of getting killed that is getting a lot of us killed. But it’s also other fears that are winding us up and making a few of us go crazy enough to take off on a shooting rampage,” he says. “Unlike in other civilized countries where people take care of each other — with free health care, generous compensation for the unemployed, free or nearly-free college education, strict laws on credit card debt and junk mortgages, serious help and treatment for the mentally ill, aid for aging and infirm people and the list goes on and on. From Ireland to Italy to Norway, from New Zealand to South Korea to Morocco, governments all over the world have discovered that the real way to reduce violence is to simply take care of each other.

“What separates us from everyone else is the way we force the members of our society to live in a constant state of fear: fear of going broke, fear of losing your job, fear of getting sick, fear of getting old and being without.””

He comes from an area where he grew up around sporting weapons and is a lifetime member of the NRA, but seems to live his life without fear, perhaps ironically.

I think I'm one of the last around here to still embrace his sense of working man's wisdom.

hundreds of them continually driving up and down the highway blowing horns, waving flags, screaming and being absolutely obnoxious and repulsive for one-two hours. I don't know what they expect to again by showing such absolute disrespect to the people who live here and wanted a nice peaceful Sunday.
