I attended a Woman's March in the middle of Doylestown, Pa last Saturday. A block up there was a Trump rally.
What amazed me was the Trump Train of vehicles that streamed down through Main Street for the entire two plus hours I was there. There was hundreds upon hundreds of vehicles, maybe close to a thousand, I thought. Turns out my count was right!
Dump trucks, even larger "bucket extension" trucks, a couple of hopefully decomissioned M35 deuce and a half military trucks, a huge tour bus, the requisite stream of ginormous modern pickups with YUGE Trump 2020 and American flags streaming from their beds, and "civilian" vehicles of all types all went by. At one point, 40-50 (by my count) Harley/Buell/Indian/etc thumpers came by, making just as much noise as they could.
The visceral impact was undeniable . . . and creepy. The "enthusiasm" of those folks was off the charts. The vibe reminded me of nothing so much as Triumph of the Will.
Interesting times. We live in interesting times.

It looked like a scene from Trump Country: more than a thousand trucks, bikes, and cars draped in Trump flags, parading across highways and through downtown areas for hours on Saturday.
But this particular caravan wasn’t in rural Pennsylvania. It took place from Newtown to Doylestown.
