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.

[-] FunderPants@lemmy.ca 33 points 3 months ago

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.

[-] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 31 points 3 months ago

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.

the one who cut me off was in a busted-ass Altima.

Well that tracks.

[-] ABCDE@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Can you translate for the non-Americans?

[-] moncharleskey@lemmy.zip 2 points 3 months ago

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

[-] ABCDE@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Thanks for that! Why did they become a thing?

[-] moncharleskey@lemmy.zip 2 points 3 months ago

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.

[-] blackwateropeth@lemmy.world 11 points 3 months ago

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.

[-] eldoom@lemmy.ml 11 points 3 months ago

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.

[-] GlendatheGayWitch@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

If they have trump stuff and a Jesus fish, do they speed or go 10 under the speed limit?

[-] meco03211@lemmy.world 132 points 3 months ago

Donald Trump arrived an hour late to a rally

And yet he chastised the organizers at the black journalist thing for not being set up on time.

[-] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 85 points 3 months ago

That delay was on him, not equipment failures. Spoiler: he lied again.

[-] meco03211@lemmy.world 24 points 3 months ago

You've got to be shitting me. Is that for real? Any news article to confirm?

[-] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 49 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

It was reported by I think NBC Chicago that Trump refused to participate if they went ahead with the live fact checking as planned, which produced a standoff that delayed proceedings by about a half hour.

I'm not sure this has been substantiated by other sources.

EDIT: It's mentioned briefly here, but somebody went into more detail in a tweet I don't have on hand.

[-] MajesticSloth@lemmy.world 32 points 3 months ago

This was an excerpt about it I grabbed from elsewhere.

[-] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 9 points 3 months ago

Right, that was it, thank you!

[-] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 11 points 3 months ago

So there was supposed to be fact checking live on the screen, and he refused?

[-] gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works 21 points 3 months ago

It’s 100% an idiotic power dynamic thing

[-] samus12345@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago

Guess he's on CP (Corrupt Politician) time.

[-] gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works 14 points 3 months ago

Also CP (child predator - his own, no less) time

[-] NegativeInf@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago

He was too busy watching CP to make it there on time. Creepy ass old weirdo.

[-] DogPeePoo@lemm.ee 73 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

I’m going to stop calling them “Trump supporters” and start calling them Trump and his pedo ring.

Also, here’s a small poem I wrote:

Matt Gaetz

Date rapes

By the seashore

[-] voxthefox@lemmy.world 31 points 3 months ago

I just refer to them as cultists, because that's what they've become. Especially once they adorned themselves with their sanctimonious ear patches to become one step closer to the visage of their one true Don

[-] DogPeePoo@lemm.ee 10 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Enjoy this weird clip of cultists “dancing” with 👂 ear tampons adorned 🙄

Bath salts may or may not have been involved

[-] Sweetpeaches69@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

I'm not exaggerating when I say that's one of the worst minute long videos I've ever seen. I'd rather cartel execution videos or one guy one cup.

[-] DogPeePoo@lemm.ee 3 points 3 months ago

“One guy one cup”

Lol 😂 that got me

[-] billiam0202@lemmy.world 14 points 3 months ago

Just call them weirdos.

[-] harrys_balzac@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 3 months ago

Republican trash

Pollutes the soul of freedom

Vote and punch Nazis

[-] DrSleepless@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

He sells

Her hell

By the seashore?

[-] morphballganon@lemmy.world 47 points 3 months ago

Lots of pictures in that article... look at those weirdos

[-] Zombiepirate@lemmy.world 36 points 3 months ago

[-] jonne@infosec.pub 1 points 3 months ago

I love how Trump forced the poster designers to make Vance smaller even if it's the same amount of characters.

[-] morphballganon@lemmy.world 19 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Well, it's pretty common for the VP name to be in smaller print, to indicate that they're two different names.

Examples:

[-] ech@lemm.ee 8 points 3 months ago

While I'd fully expect two-scoop donald to throw a fit over it, that's also just pretty standard graphic design. Helps differentiate the vp candidate from the main candidate.

[-] mercano@lemmy.world 23 points 3 months ago

Other reasons people left early: Trump showed up an hour late, meaning he didn’t finish until 2.5 hours after his scheduled start time. People got places to be, man, respect their time. (I guess it’s not like Trump is known to respect others in general.)

[-] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 14 points 3 months ago

These people are absolute freaks.

[-] Stern@lemmy.world 12 points 3 months ago

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_nicknames_used_by_Donald_Trump

Kamala joins Hillary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi, Bernie Sanders, and Mika Brzezinski (of Morning Joe fame) under the "Crazy" moniker.

[-] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 11 points 3 months ago

Lets hope thats indicative of his chances to be reelected

[-] evatronic@lemm.ee 7 points 3 months ago

They'll still vote for him. The (R) outweighs anything a Democrat could do.

[-] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Hes like a rabid dog gnawing at but afraid to swallow its meal

Credibility high but this article is pretty biased.

How does a headline like this even make sense outside of just straight up throwing jabs. What is the information it wants me to know.

How do you even measure the crowd leaving early vs going for a piss. By the end they're showing the audience doing the wave and crowd looks unchanged.

Trump sucks. But I would expect better than sharing this stuff. This is the type of rhetoric that leads to zealots hanging out on over passes yelling about pizza

[-] SGforce@lemmy.ca 12 points 3 months ago

"MSN" is not where the article is from though. It's Newsweek. So, yeah. Trash.

[-] solsangraal@lemmy.zip 10 points 3 months ago

maybe media outlets are starting to realize they have a vested interest in NOT having a dictatorship where all outlets are taken over and consolidated into a single state-controlled news outlet

"that'll never happen!"

it won't. until we become a dictatorship, and it does happen
