Who ARE All Those Trump Voters?

They're these people:

Idiots who give you the finger and speed up while you're trying to merge onto the freeway.
Morons who yell obscenities at referees at Little League games.
The guy behind you who jumps up and pours his beer down your back at a football game after a touchdown.
The woman next door who thinks your daughter is a slut because she has a date.
People who scowl at the new homeowner on the block who is a POC.
Folks who tie their dog up in the back yard and then leave on vacation.
Neighbors who measure their yard precisely so they don't ever mow any part of your lawn.
That asshole who tunes up his muffler-less Harley in the driveway, and guns the engine at 10 PM.
The cretin who watches you build a fence between your properties and stands there giving lame advice.
Letter-to-the-editor writers who complain about the noise of children playing on their blocks.
That guy with the brand new pickup and bass boat whose wife drives a 15-year-old minivan.
Parents who think counseling their children consists of yelling at them at the top of their lungs.
The people up the street who walk their dog so it can crap on your lawn, but who don't carry poop bags.
The neighbors who throw a party and yell at you when you ask them to get their guest to move the car they parked in your driveway.
That person who is weaving back and forth on the road while texting.
That guy on your block who uses a leaf blower to blow piles of leaves into the street and over the storm drain.

Those and many others are Trump voters. You probably have some other examples. Please feel free to post them in this thread!

the people in the neighborhood that demand everyone drown their lawns in roundup (despite it being a neighborhood with lots of wildlife, dogs and cats, and children, near a watershed for a nice lake) because there are a few patches of stilt grass that they say are bringing down the home values (ran into this one last night at a neighborhood party)

It's a surefire RIP for your lawn. I have a neighbor who discovered this the hard way, after which he attempted to revive the sad results with heavy use of lawn sprinklers to no effect. However, Roundup is not an indiscriminate killer, as it spares dandelions, thistles and other broadleaf weed species.

He and his wife both have nice late model vehicles. Before the storm I saw a cop putting a chalk mark on the tire of the car I had parked in the street while I was mowing the lawn. I asked about it and he said he has to do it in our whole neighborhood because of a "selective enforcement" issue raised by someone. I told him I knew who "someone" was and why. I could tell I was right although he did not comment. The time limit on street parking is quite long, 24 or 48 hours as I recall.

so that those walking have to sink into three foot drifts on either side to get to the street to get around. Bad enough for me and my dog, but there are LOTS of elderly trying to negotiate these walkways.

Your list is great (in a very irritating kind of way, of course) and oh so true.

Finally, a neighbor called the city and reported the blocked sidewalk. The offender had to move his motorhome into a storage yard. It wouldn't fit into his short driveway, and hung out clear to the street across the sidewalk. He never uses it, anyhow.

on the freeway who cuts across in front of everybody else and zooms out the exit he missed.

The guy who cuts in front of a semi truck and then slows down.

We have one around here who - I wish I had a picture- has:

- a full-size American flag,
- a full- size Confederate battle flag,
- a full-size Texas flag, and
- a full-size Gadsden flag,

each attached to a corner of the bed of his rolling-coal-modified diesel pickup.

HRC? I don't think he was with her.

Then in the next breath they say "at least it is not her." I got connected with an old friend and not seeing her for a long time I wanted to see where she stood since I last saw her so I asked what she thought of the horrible politics and what was going on in our country and she told me. I have not talked to her since.

that politics should be left out of sports, but fail to see the politics involved in the American anthem itself or when it comes to team relocations.

People who throw the "social justice warrior" term around as if it's something to be ashamed of.

People who call you "too politically correct" when you don't find jokes against disabled people funny.

People who claim to be fierce believers in freedom and the Constitution, yet throw fits over predominantly Black athletes exercising a basic right before/during the anthem in the name of racial equality, and would (in some cases, such as today in Baltimore) boo their own team.

People who claim to be pro-life, but oppose gun restrictions for criminals and mentally-unstable people.

People who decry the supposed eliteness in Hollywood, but voted for someone who is a billionaire and has been part of the elite his whole life.

People who respond to any criticism of Trump with something along the lines of "But Hillary/Obama..."
