(10,502 posts)Sure there are still factions that hew to the stereotypical biker idea, but most do not. They work their jobs and raise families and ride with their brothers.
Because of law enforcement attacks like the one in Waco/Twin Peaks on this traditionally unsympathetic groups, the bike CLUBS (not gangs) have joined together. You have 1% clubs like the Mongols, Outlaws, and Hell's Angels working with the Guardians of the Children and religious clubs. Law Enforcement wants to profile anyone riding a motorcycle and think they can keep public support because bikers have such a bad image.
These guys do feel left out, by and large, even though many make 6 figure salaries. Many do support Trump because they are tired of the corruption in Washington. They have fallen for the RW media propaganda like many other blue collar and white collar whites.
Our society is leaving everyone behind that isn't already filthy rich. Our political parties have sold out to the big money and to get our support back we need to get rid of the corruption in our campaign finance system!
