Anyone hearing this in your communities?  Walmart's pulled guns and ammo from displays. National Guard came to Philly related to police shooting, subsequent riots.

My Philly burb had hundreds of kids out trick or treating along with a parent, chilled vibe.

Trump supporters are having truck caravans in Fairbanks. They are aggressive and belligerent if met with less than enthusiasm.  There were lots of complaints on FB about them holding up traffic and cutting people off for their display of devotion.

Biden campaign cancels Austin, Texas event after Trump supporters surround bus on interstate

Quote

Nearly 100 vehicles with Trump flags and paraphernalia surrounded a Biden campaign bus on a Texas highway and slowed it down to 20 mph in an effort to run it off the road before local law enforcement assisted the bus to its destination....

...Staffers on the bus called 911, which eventually led to local law enforcement assisting the bus to its destination. The Biden campaign, out of what was described as an abundance of caution, ended up canceling an event scheduled for later that day in Austin, the aide said.

I'm certain that we'll hear how both sides are violent and dangerous in defense of this poorly considered activity by Trump supporters.

Here's how you get people to re-elect the president: shut down a busy highway.

Of course, if these were people calling on an end to violence against persons of color they would be labeled as domestic terrorists.

Gee, isn't President Trump against cancel culture??

 

Quote

Floyd County Democrats cancel a planned rally today ahead of Trump’s visit to Rome because “a large militia presence is expected.”

Let’s be clear on what’s happening: the president’s supporters are engaged in domestic terrorism w/his full support in an effort to suppress Democratic voting. The FBI, prosecutors in US Attys offices & other agencies must remember their oaths are to the Constitution, not Trump. https://t.co/aTiXfgNW7d

FBI is now investigating Texas incident re Bidens bus surrounded by trucks festooned with Trump flags--- I saw lg. black truck hit white SUV in middle lane (driven by Biden )_ along with attempting  forcing campaign bus off the road.   In New York and New Jersey on Sunday, Trump supporters truck caravans halted traffic on two major highways.

What does  the President do???  Trump tweets to defend Texas drivers who surrounded Biden bus-- labels them Patriots ... which will lead to more shenanigans likely this week.

Quote

In my opinion, these patriots did nothing wrong. Instead, the FBI & Justice should be investigating the terrorists, anarchists, and agitators of ANTIFA, who run around burning down our Democrat run cities and hurting our people!

What happened to the LAW AND ORDER President?

Trump condones this behavior while claiming this is the most corrupt election ever.  

They are sounding and acting more and more desperate as the very real possibility of his losing approaches.

Despots don't lose elections and they don't plan for a peaceful transition of power.  Despots and their sycophants lie and cheat and break systems to maintain or consolidate power.  They normalize the abnormal for their supporters by tickling their ears. 

Buckle up.
