Many people are saying that Boaters for Trump are like the Spanish Armada, which suffered a massive, crushing defeat. SAD!

Like watching Gone With The Wind and rooting for the confederacy to win!
I learned the armada got whooped when I was in 5th grade.

and the whole point was to piss off liberals. How exactly that was supposed to work is beyond me. I think a great many Trump supporters are simply trolls trying to engage people they don't like (like us) with their "outrageous" actions.

As always, Don't feed the trolls!

If they're sailing their boats around with Trump signs, if they're refusing to wear masks, if they're waving guns. Don't engage. Report them to the proper authorities and walk on. Otherwise you give them exactly what they want, and what encourages them to do it again and again.

The Spanish Armada went to war with England and England crushed them. England ruled the seas thereafter until the mid-20th Century. Also remember that the Spanish Armada lost to Queen Elizabeth. Women rule!
