How many mean nasty people are there?

Friend Mike F. likes to stand on highway 87 with Democratic political signs before the Donuts with Democrats meeting. This is a busy traffic time because of everyone heading to the mountains for the weekend. There are three reactions. Grumpy Republicans shout something, or giving the finger, expressionless people trying to ignore, and cheerful Democrats giving a smile, a wave, or a thumbs up. 

The whole experience is like an instant political poll. This part of Arizona is redneck, Hooplehead heaven.  The results for reality are better than one would think. The split might be 50 50, but is more likely in favor of the grumps. One car was interesting. In the back seat were three women, and in the front three men. The three women gave the thumbs up and the men the thumbs down. That tells a lot. Kadizzle likes to stand by the traffic light. Some cars stop with the windows down and conversation ensues. Mostly nice people thank us for the effort. Of course the grumps say nasty silly things. The motorcycle men have to portray themselves as tough Trump idiots. Truck drivers are about fifty, fifty. 

Kadizzle took out the bull horn from the Democratic headquarters this last time. Shouting " Thank you, thank you so much for your support".  Also it was a chance to shout back at the Hooples. All in all it is a fun prelude to the meeting. 

Trumps lie about people eating pets made it hard for the cult. Even hard core cult people found it hard to go along with that nonsense, but then the true cultest were sure dogs and cats were being served for dinner in Springfield Ohio.
