The woman insisted that they were not "protesting", they were simply there supporting tfg.
The reporter asked "What type of people are here"?
The woman responded "Just everyday, normal, hardworking people".
The camera then zoomed in on perhaps a few dozen people and a pick-up truck with about six trump flags on very long poles attached to it.
You know, everyday, hardworking, normal people.
"Normal people" I thought as I sat there eating potato chips.
Normal people.

(17,425 posts)5 ft x 10 ft Biden flags that I have affixed to my compact car.
I welded the flag poles to the car.
The poles are 30 ft long.
Really brings down the gas mileage, but I fly them proudly.

(810 posts)Beat-up pickup truck festooned with flags and banners supporting Trump. If I remember correctly, he's the same nut that puts on a Superman costume (for which he lacks the proper physique) and stands on the corner of one of the busiest intersections in town and waves an American flag.
Regular "salt of the earth" kind of guy.

(47,427 posts)What kind of jobs allow people to just take off to protest (or support)?
I remember all those right-wingers occupying the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in 2016 and I kept wondering, "What on earth do these people do for a living?" They were there for 40 days.

I mean really. Didn't they read the news clip about the new witness in NY? That's going to delay the inevitable for at least a week, they'll be home nursing severe sunburn, bug bites, and dehydration before TFG gets his summons.
