Their SUVs and pickups festooned with Trump banners and blue lives matter flags, convoys of Trump thugs dubbing themselves the "Trump Train" clogged highways nationwide in an attempt to intimidate motorists as a foreshadowing of what will occur if their cult leader loses. In New Jersey, they temporarily shut down the Garden State Parkway, yelling "we shut it down, baby, we shut it down!" These aggressive assholes must think that blocking highways is a good political move, which explains their fealty to Trump:
In Richmond, VA, they drove to the Lee statue, a symbol of their Confederate right wing cult, to harass demonstrators there. Incidents like this followed the infamous blockade of a Biden-Harris campaign bus near Austin, Texas on Friday, where Trump cultists driving pickup trucks tried to run the bus off the road, an incident that the FBI is investigating. It appears that the sick, coked-up Donald Trump Jr. was encouraging the Texas ambush, telling supporters to go out and "have some fun," like an organized crime figure might do to rough up store owners who weren't paying for protection.Shutting down traffic on the Garden State Parkway is a surefire way for these Trumpers to get folks out to vote for #BidenHarris

Sad to say, this authoritarian thuggery will be with us into the future, as the brainwashed, violent members of the Trumpist movement try to force themselves on the majority, whether by traffic jams, road rage or gun barrels.
