Disturbing People near Lewes, DE yesterday [View all]

I was at the Delaware beaches yesterday (OMG--picture-perfect day!) and drove by a crew of about 10 Trumpers waving American flags, Trump flags, and playing "God Bless the USA" loudly. I had pulled into a shopping center near where they were--and I know I've been warned about this---but I yelled "Fuck you, traitors!" -- one of them said "Thank you" There were a lot of people around, so I figured that there would be witnesses if they shot me. On the way out of the shopping center, I just held up my middle finger towards them. The car in front of me and behind me were giving them the "thumbs up" and I did notice a few people beeping in support of them. The people behind me had to deal with my still-affixed "Biden-Harris" and RESIST stickers, LOL.

They are drastically outnumbered here in DE, so to hell with them. But these crazy cult people annoyed me--it's just so shocking that ANYONE ANYWHERE would support this cretin.

Anyway---they just motivated me to work harder for Kamala (EDIT: in nearby Pennsylvania, of course--my usual strategy).
