Anyone seeing parades of Trump vehicles?

I live in Silver City, NM and was in Las Cruces this morning and saw a train of Trump vehicles going down the street, waving flags, honking their horns. When I got back to Silver, the same was happening here. Very obnoxious. When they passed my street I went out and flipped them off lol.

Trump will shut down social security and all health care programs

and give the money to Musk for his space program. That is musk’s interest in this election.

I saw a guy proudly walking into a local store with his 'Trump24' stuff on with his asshole-y smile and that made me ill. It just seems so out-of-place and in your face nastiness.

3. Thank God, NO. If they did so in STL City, I think that they wouldn't get very far in the city. STLMO is a Harris

I live on the California side of Tahoe so I'm close enough to see what goes on in Carson City and rural Nevada as well.

Yes there's still a couple die hards that have big Trump flags on their ranch fences, but way less on the trucks and the flags and that. The newspaper also used to cover the Trump parades as they called them. Have not seen any coverage maybe not as many people showing up question but definitely not seeing as much enthusiasm among them in this neck of the woods

No one likes an asshat. Especially magat asshats yelling and spittle-ing and turning all red in the neck and shit.

They stopped for a while last winter, but they've started up again.

They cruise Main Street and draw quite a few spectators. In the summer, they even have a couple of food trucks set up for the crowd.

I’m glad I don’t have to endure that. Where I live is blue so this is a rare show of force by the Trumpers. A dying gasp, I believe. Trump will lose my county by 15%.

There are no Democrats running in any of the local races, save for one County Board seat.
