Not enough of them left early. They were clogging up traffic when I was trying to pick my kid up from band practice. Driving like assholes, too. One straight up ran a red light, and another cut me off and nearly caused an accident, then flipped me the bird when I honked. (How could I tell they were trump supporters? Easy: These weirdos plaster bumper stickers all over their cars.)
One of the most depressing things I've seen all week was a highway sign that said all the parking for the rally was full. I hate being surrounded by these people.
Every trumped out ride I’ve ran into has always driven like the most lawless asshat. They’re usually, speeding, tailgating, cutting people off, etc. Law and order? riiiggghhht.
Just a little PSA. When I was homeless I quickly figured out that nearly all vehicles with MAGAt stickers are unlocked... And the chances of there being a gun in there go up by like 25% per sticker.
Do what you will with this information.
If they have trump stuff and a Jesus fish, do they speed or go 10 under the speed limit?
How many giant "Rebel" stickers on the back of the most popular pick up truck in North America did you see? More than one I bet.
Every damn vehicle leaving the area had some dumb sticker on it. But the person who ran the red light were in a late model Lexus and the who cut me off was in a busted-ass Altima.
Well that tracks.
Can you translate for the non-Americans?
Nissan Altima drivers are somewhat notorious here for aggressive driving and the cars are often in rough condition, to the point that it's often memed. https://duckduckgo.com/?q=altima+drivers+meme&t=fpas&iax=images&ia=images
Thanks for that! Why did they become a thing?
Altimas are fairly affordable and have pretty solid performance for their size, so that sets up a certain likely scenario of someone with poor credit and a desire to go fast to wind up in a beat up Altima.
