Today we were in the Lehighton Halloween parade. The “we” were seven of us on the Carbon County Democratic Party entry; a decorated pickup truck with our volunteers passing out candy to the kids.
My friend Midge and I sat in the bed of the truck and filled the buckets of the candy distributors when their buckets were empty. I am no longer able to walk the route.
It was fun, but I don’t understand the need of Trump supporters along the route to boo and holler insults. I don’t believe Harris supporters insulted the volunteers on the Trump float when it went by, although I could be wrong.
When I asked my friend why Trump supporters were such jerks, she said it was because Trump himself encourages that type of behavior. So here we are, at a Halloween parade, and the Trump followers are simply doing what their leader wants them to do–act as a spoiled and unruly child, just like he does.
Maybe they were pretending to be monsters, like Trump.
