On our way into the city from New Jersey

I spotted a black pick-up truck sporting a Palestinian flag. He was next to us on Rte 46
I though about rolling down my window to ask why he wasn't flying a Trump flag as well.
Then I realized maybe not, I could get shot.

This is for real, and it's frightening.
Has anyone else seen these?
It was flown exactly the same way that Trump people do.

Is Trump now against the Occupation?
BTW, here in L.A. it's Israeli flags flown that way.

You made the assumption that some random person in a black truck on the road must also be a Trump supporter based on a flag and nothing more than your assumptions. You know wild assumptions ARE classic traits OF Trump supporters right?

because around here the only vehicles that fly flags are Trump supporters.
No Israeli flags, not other flags - just Trump flags.

But then again, most trumpers are antisemitic, so who know? The world is crazy, upside down now.

Many Trump supporters hate Jews (Jews will not replace us)
I am perplexed as to why they would fly Israeli flags.
As a Jewish person, I'd be pretty upset to be associated with Trump.
But I guess Likud supporters would be pleased to see the two flags together.

Democrats around here don't fly huge flags or banners on our homes, or fly
flags from our vehicles. We tend to do just lawn signs.
