Neither Biden nor Harris had been on the bus on the time, however the scenario rapidly devolved to the purpose the place police had been known as to escort it to its subsequent vacation spot. The actions of the gun-waving pro-Trump drivers each on the interstate and in Austin had been thought-about harmful sufficient to cancel two subsequent Democratic rallies. For these accustomed to the anti-civil rights thuggery of previous eras, particularly within the South, the “Trump Prepare” was simply recognizable for what it was: an try to intimidate the opposition into fleeing, both through the specter of mob violence or violence itself.
The orange fascist himself was ecstatic on the show, each on Twitter and, now, in his rallies.
It seems Trump’s giddy thrill at inflicting automobile accidents for Expensive Chief was not the aspirational dictator’s solely hyperlink to the intimidation. A number of days previous to the Texas encounter, Donald Trump Jr. explicitly known as out to these drivers in an try to make the incident occur.
In another of his possibly cocaine-tinged videos promoting his father, Trump Jr. made the request:
“It’d be nice if you happen to guys would all get collectively, head right down to McAllen and provides Kamala Harris a pleasant Trump Prepare welcome. Get on the market, have some enjoyable, get pleasure from it.”
It’s uncommon, to say the least, for an American president or his offspring to advertise such behaviors. The tinpot Trump clan has confirmed keen and desirous to reward each intimidation and violence on behalf of Chief Dearest, nevertheless, and gun-waving pickup-truck-based terrorism is (ahem) actually on model for the dumbest of violent American actions.
It serves as warning as effectively. The Trump “motion,” if it may be known as that, is an authoritarian-premised cult of character extra beholden to its white nationalist agenda than to democracy itself. There could also be related makes an attempt to “encompass” polling websites on Election Day. If Trump loses, it’s nearly assured that some inside his base will use it to justify violence and terrorism.
We’re effectively previous the purpose the place deluded, conspiracy-obsessed Fox Information-watching white nationalists might be ignored with out consequence; our greatest hope is that the American folks converse out so forcefully with their votes as to politically bury its Republican enablers—completely.

On Friday, a Trump-and-confederate-flag waving “Trump Train” of Texas pickup trucks intercepted the Biden-Harris campaign bus as it traveled on Interstate 35, headed to Austin, Texas, for a planned rally. The pro-Trump drivers used their vehicles to surround and slow the bus, and appeared to cause at least one intentional accident when one hit the vehicle of a Biden-Harris staffer closely following the bus.

Neither Biden nor Harris were on the bus at the time, but the situation quickly devolved to the point where police were called to escort it to its next destination. The actions of the gun-waving pro-Trump drivers both on the interstate and in Austin were considered dangerous enough to cancel two subsequent Democratic rallies. For those familiar with the anti-civil rights thuggery of past eras, especially in the South, the “Trump Train” was easily recognizable for what it was: an attempt to intimidate the opposition into fleeing, either via the threat of mob violence or violence itself.
The orange fascist himself was ecstatic at the display, both on Twitter and, now, in his rallies.https://platform.twitter.com/embed/index.html?dnt=false&embedId=twitter-widget-0&frame=false&hideCard=false&hideThread=false&id=1322945006647345160&lang=en&origin=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.dailykos.com%2Fstory%2F2020%2F11%2F1%2F1991583%2F-Trump-Jr-pushed-for-Trump-supporters-to-intercept-Biden-bus-Trump-Sr-praised-them-afterwards&siteScreenName=dailykos&theme=light&widgetsVersion=ed20a2b%3A1601588405575&width=550px
It turns out Trump’s giddy thrill at causing car accidents for Dear Leader was not the aspirational dictator’s only link to the intimidation. Several days prior to the Texas encounter, Donald Trump Jr. explicitly called out to those drivers in an attempt to make the incident happen.
In another of his possibly cocaine-tinged videos promoting his father, Trump Jr. made the request:
“It’d be great if you guys would all get together, head down to McAllen and give Kamala Harris a nice Trump Train welcome. Get out there, have some fun, enjoy it.”
It is unusual, to say the least, for an American president or his offspring to promote such behaviors. The tinpot Trump clan has proven willing and eager to praise both intimidation and violence on behalf of Leader Dearest, however, and gun-waving pickup-truck-based terrorism is (ahem) certainly on brand for the dumbest of violent American movements.
It serves as warning as well. The Trump “movement,” if it can be called that, is an authoritarian-premised cult of personality more beholden to its white nationalist agenda than to democracy itself. There may be similar attempts to “surround” polling sites on Election Day. If Trump loses, it is almost assured that some within his base will use it to justify violence and terrorism.
We are well past the point where deluded, conspiracy-obsessed Fox News-watching white nationalists can be ignored without consequence; our best hope is that the American people speak out so forcefully with their votes as to politically bury its Republican enablers—permanently.Sunday, Nov 1, 2020 · 10:55:42 AM PST · Hunter

Seems our law and order president is a real threat to law and order. He moves to incite. He’s a worthless human being.
He has negative worth.
