Trumper car parade in my town just now.

Okay, they have the right to do so. No problem there.

But the noticeable thing is that the "vast majority" of the maybe 20-30 vehicles were pickups. As in only a couple of SUVs and one or two sedans.

Is this saying something?

They were honking and hooting like morons. I threw a finger at them but they were likely too busy jerking off to notice.

...that read "Nice truck! Too bad about your penis." I wish I'd had a giant-sized version of that to hold up for the Nazi Truck Parade today.

...because, out here in the Seattle suburbs, I saw either the same "Nazis on parade" you did, or a similar one. To be exact, it was a convoy in support of Loren Culp, the wingnut sheriff who's running for governor against Inslee, but it was all pickup trucks and motorcycles. Most of the pickups had at least two and usually three yuge flags flying from their cab beds -- "Don't Tread On Me," "Blue Lives Matter," and a few Trump flags along with one or two standard American ones and one POW/MIA (???). Didn't see any Confederate flags, but I guess they were told to tone that element down for public consumption.

ago pickup trucks and jeeps with flags and Trump flags. They claim there are about 300 vehicles all together.

They seem like outsiders and finally they found like minded, at times bigoted people. If trump loses in Nov I can see their continuing this nonsense. Just like trump needs their cheering to survive mentally they love to scream, wear the magazine clothes, and bond together.
