Had a Trump guy jump out of his pickup and just scream at the Dems

[CanonRay]

at a Dem open house at a new office in Oregon. He though we had no right to be there. Just nuts, a very volatile confrontation. Cops were called, but he left before they got there. Be careful out there folks, these nutjobs are wired to tight.

1. Trump is dredging up the worst among us.

[TheCowsCameHome]

2. Too bad is wasn't going 50 at the time.

3. Yes they are and a lot of them are armed.

I was getting into my car in the parking lot at a store and a guy pointed at my Hillary 16 sticker and began to yell "you can't vote for that B....". He had an NRA sticker and a gun rack in that truck. I quickly got in my car and drove off. Scared the crap out of me.

[sarae]

6. !!!

That would scare me shitless. Sorry you had to deal with that. WTF is wrong with people?

[redstatebluegirl]

7. Trump has them all puffed up and crazy. He feeds it, Fox feeds it, the internet feeds it.

[Dawson Leery]

10. The biggest threats do not come from the middle east.

[ailsagirl]

14. It would have scared me too

It's really pathetic that it has to come down to this. I'm glad you're OK but bummed it happened at all.

16. Had a similar experience prior to the 2012 elections

Our previous vehicle had several stickers on it - "Help the rich, vote Republican" and an "Obama/Biden" sticker among them. I also have a license plate frame that said "Once a Marine, always a Marine". Had some jerk roll up behind me in the grocery store parking lot and proclaim that because I was a veteran I couldn't possibly vote for President Obama.

I told him in no uncertain terms that I wanted a president who wouldn't go around starting conflicts where none didn't need to exist. He left rather quickly. When I told my wife about it, she told me she didn't like having bumper stickers on the car (she wasn't opposed to them previously - lotta wacko's here in MN-6).

Anyway, we got our yard sign for the DFL candidate for our local house seat today. A lot of them cropped-up on our street in the last couple of days. Last election he lost his seat by 69 votes. Working toward a better result this time around.

19. My 3 siblings are military and Dems

Well, one wants to be a bigot, but we keep him in check, lol. But they all say how Repubs insist on harassing them for their progressive views, yet rarely will you see a progressive do what's said in this story. Keep up the good fight, and I pray for all of our safety against any unstable types who are tuned in to Drumf's language and ratcheted up!

4. Yes. arm yourselves with smart phone and cameras note pads and pencils.

And follow up with license tag reports if possible. Do not be intimidate. We must hold fast to our strength. Cowards usually back down in the face of challenge.

[renate]

27. well said, and welcome to DU!

5. I was attacked my a Trump supporter a couple of weeks ago..

Be careful out there..they are rabid

[GWC58]

8. Yeah,

and come 9 November they're really gonna be ticked off and, hopefully not "locked & loaded." In my neighborhood I've seen 0 tRump signs. My brothers, both Reps, don't like him and won't be voting for him. My oldest brother said "Trumps an asshole."

[ailsagirl]

15. Not physically, I hope??

Any attack is BS but if some idiot yells at you, it's par for the course. Unfortunately.

Physically is a different story altogether.

9. A voter register was at the library and handing out tickets to a Clinton event.

Some "Libertarian" yelled at him and got the librarian to make him stop handing out the tickets (in the 30 minutes I was in the library; talked to him going in and he invited me to the event, talked to him going out and he told me about being yelled at).

Saw him yesterday and he was handing out tickets again. Apparently he's allowed to fucking do that, as we suspected (we both agreed it was OK to do that). And it got cleared up in the time he was there before and yesterday.

You see, ANYONE can register people to vote, as long as they put their signature on the voter registration form. You can LITERALLY go down to the post office, and pick up forms, and stand around and ask people to vote, and you, as per free speech, can tell them who you support or hand out tickets to events or RSVPs to events or whatever.

Nice guy. I'm glad he was able to get that sorted out. And I thought it was ironic that a "Libertarian" was the one to get the library to stop him the first time. Someone who is supposedly supposed to be against authority and whatnot.

12. Thanks for the story.

[elmac]

11. A divided nation

those with brains and those with a fox so called news lobotomy.

[PasadenaTrudy]

13. I haven't

encountered a single one yet. Yay, Los Angeles!

[TeamPooka]

24. LA is a haven. I love it but they are on the fringes. I ran into a Trumphumper in Sunland recently.

so stay in the center

[PasadenaTrudy]

25. I saw

my first Trump sticker today on a MBZ here in S Pasadena. Hopefully not a local, lol!

[Divine Discontent]

17. They can't help themselves, they've been brainwashed by hate speech

They need to stop being a stereotype of the typical aggressive and ignorant Republican who harasses those who are voting for another candidate. Remember that McCain girl, who scratched a backward B on her own face in the mirror? They go all out in elections! Crazy...

[OutNow]

18. A Trump Guy in Oregon?

So the Trump guy said you had no right to be there at a Dem office in Oregon? Oregon, with a 100% Dem lineup in state offices, a Dem controlled legislature, two Dem Senators, and a strong ratio of Dems to Repubs in Congress and the guy said YOU had no right to be there?

These folks are in an alternative universe. Hey, I'm betting the guy was Art Robinson, the nut job that is running against Peter DeFazio for Congress the 8th or 9th time. He gets less votes every time he runs but is sure he'll win as soon as "the people wake up". The guy that lives in a family compound in southern Oregon, who wants to close all public schools and thinks nuclear radiation is OK if you just spread it around your house.

[CanonRay]

22. They're here, but they can't win and they know it

and I think that pisses them off even more

[oberliner]

20. Things are going to get very ugly on the day after Election Day

Regardless of the result.

[handmade34]

21. ugh

working in Florida neighborhoods with my daughter the past few weeks and she refuses to let me keep "HILLARY" Sticker on car... she is truly frightened by many of the Trump supporters here... LOTS of Trump yard signs in neighborhoods and not at all unusual to see vile, negative, violent signs in those same yards... such as (won't even post some of the really vile)

[Laffy Kat]

23. Those are truly frightening, handmade34.

Stay safe.

[Still In Wisconsin]

26. A while back a guy leaving a Trump rally (I was just passing by) got in my face and screamed TRUMP!!

I wasn't wearing a political shirt or anything... just walking down the sidewalk. You're right, these people are wound way too tight and looking for a fight.
