Hur hur. Political violence is such a hilarious joke.
CNN has more details on the dangerous and terrifying actions by Trump fans in big trucks on a busy freeway:
The Biden campaign bus was traveling Friday from San Antonio to Austin as part of a push to urge Biden supporters to cast their ballots on the state’s last day of early voting.
According to a source familiar with the incident, the vehicles were a “Trump Train group.” These groups are known in parts of the state and organize events that involve their cars with flags and Trump paraphernalia and drive around to show support for President Donald Trump. The group began yelling profanities and obscenities and then blockaded the entire Biden entourage.
At one point they slowed the tour bus to roughly 20 mph on Interstate 35, the campaign official said. The vehicles slowed down to try to stop the bus in the middle of the highway. The source said there were nearly 100 vehicles around the campaign bus. Biden staffers were rattled by the event, the source said, though no one was hurt.
This is early brownshirts territory. Early brownshirts weren’t plotting extermination camps, early brownshirts were engaging in political violence against everyone to the left of the brownshirts.
I’m wondering if this is how my great-grandparents felt (who would have been of a similar age to me now), in the nineteen-thirties. Watching events in another country in horror, and helpless to stop the fascists taking over.
This is absolutely terrifying.
The Trumps are amassing a private army.
And one they don’t even have to pay. His favorite sort.
I can’t speak for Tigger’s great-grandparents, but my parents, in their 20s in the 1930s, were too busy leading their own lives to be very aware of what was happening in Germany. There was no television then, remember, and it was only when Bergen-Belsen was liberated in 1945 that ordinary people became conscious of the full horror of the Nazi regime. Not even the full horror either, because initially people didn’t realize that Bergen-Belsen was not an exception. No one knew about Auschwitz.
