Anyone on the Beltway during the Trump Caravan Today?

[Anonymous]

I drove through Tysons Corner at the time a portion of the caravan went through there. The first thing that struck me was the variety of cars on the road - not just pickup trucks, though we certainly saw some there, but also a lot of Porsches, Audis, BMWs, and Mercedes. There was one G wagon in that train. We waved at people in the cars as we drove by and they all were going the normal speed, neither fast nor slow. When I needed take the Rt7 on-ramp to the beltway, I signaled and got through their line with no drama.

Once I was on the beltway, we saw the huge caravan that was in the second right most lane. I signaled and was able to once again get through the line without issue into one of the left lanes. When I exited further down the road, I signaled a third time, and crossed their lines for a third time, with no issues.

This is anecdotal, but I was with them for a few miles at least, and everything was very orderly.

We drove in the 2nd lane from the right, to allow people to merge on/off the road as they needed to and not block exits.

It was fun knowing we were irritating people like the ones posting here.

Cool! It's fun knowing that MD is BLUE and how irritating it must be for you. Glad you wasted your time and gas while others were actually doing something productive. 🗳

Nah, it was great! Met lots fun people, probably will hang out again in the future with a few of them. I’m from here, unlike you, so MD being blue isn’t a big deal to me. Even *I* used to be blue

Used to. Haha

Bunch of rough looking, hilly billy, long bearded, InCel type, out of shape, ill educated people with Trump sign and the confederate flags. I felt very sorry for them. Despite being White, having all the privileges and advantages, having enslaved Black people, not having to face racism, and having the entire system working on their behalf, how come these people are the dregs of the society? What went wrong with their lives?

This was the most pathetic sight I had seen.

The bottom rung of society is always desperate to look down on someone else (racist) and usually not that bright.

If it comes down to hillbillies driving around the Beltway in trucks vs. BLM thugs breaking into stores and looting at all hours, I guess I’ll put up with the former for an afternoon.

I'd prefer the latter, honestly. Looting and breaking windows doesn't generally result in deaths. There's been a rise in right wing terrorists using cars as weapons in the last few years and I find it much scarier. Obviously we can say today that none of the people driving trucks on the Beltway yesterday were trying to hurt or kill nyome, but if I had to take my chances with one or the other, I'd prefer to be among pedestrians.

You didn’t mention anything about getting shot at or run off the road or murdered.


Are you SURE you weren’t murdered?

Other than one guy in Charlottesville, please cite as many other examples as you can of republicans or Trump supporters using a car in a vehicle attack*.



* a panicky driver caught by surprise in the middle of a violent leftist protest mob who floors the gas pedal to escape while in fear for their life while being attacked doesn’t count. Sorry.

Don't care for how they have co-opted our flag either.

I’m not liking this.

The caravan was not blocking exits. They were driving in the 2nd lane from the right. People who wanted to exit were signaling and cutting over to the exit lane.

Stop being so dramatic.

NOT True they were blocking exits and creating chaos. Scaring Chiidren and adults. Screaming their heads off.

Their trains are not necessary their KING DICTATOR will be re elected and with Stephen Miller still in the WH good luck to them they are pea brains. Not like most of Trump's tax increases are not going to affect them next year. Idiots even a third grader can do the math. Guess whose getting a tax increase? It's not the 1 % which most of Trumpers are not.

Cars driving with flags were scaring children and adults. Yeah — right...

Well I think we’ve established that reading compression isn’t your thing, huh?

Saturday: people in a voting-rights march to an early-voting site in North Carolina, with a permit, get pepper-sprayed and arrested by the police for blocking traffic and improperly occupying county property.

Sunday: other people drive their cars and trucks around on the Beltway.

It's clear who has the courage of their convictions vs who just likes to feel all big.

Looks like you're replying to the wrong person as I'm not in this quote thread. But I gotta admit, I saw someone describe these caravans as essentially a post-Trump movement and that is what it is. What you get out of it will only increase if Trump is gone. And that's why we'll see it intensify.
