Ran into a Dump parade in small town southern Illinois

It was both hilarious and scary at the same time. The traffic was backed up completely out of town, and they made sure to drive through any parking lot they could and honked. And lots of God, Guns, Trump shirts.

I really hate Illinois Nazis.

Why does anyone think that an unofficial parade that clogs up traffic is welcome? I'd be equally pissed off at that kind of "parade" stopping traffic no matter what candidate was on the flags.

How stupid would someone have to be to decide to vote for MF45 because they were stuck in traffic for 2 hours by a "tRump parade"????

It took longer than expected just for me to run in and get some milk. This shit... this shit is just not normal. It's full-on Nazi marches and it makes me hate the community I have lived in for over 30 years.

I went to SIU in Carbondale. They used to have "sunset" laws during the Jim Crow era when Blacks had to be out of town by sunset.

Great places to hike down there, but it's Trump country no doubt.
