F**k Your Feelings! Trump 2020!

Pulled into the grocery store lot and parked next to a really nice Ram 1500 with extended cab and some custom accessories.

Beautiful thing, shinier than a new penny.

On the tailgate, back window, and driver's door, was painted (very professional looking job) "Fuck Your Feelings! Trump 2020!"

Can you imagine that this is the message this person wants to send to his fellow citizens? Does he think this is persuasive? That he will win over a fence straddler with this?

I picture a canvasser going door to door, saying "Fuck Your Feelings! Trump 2020!"

I have come to the conclusion that this is all they've got. This is the best message they can come up with.

Don't quite get it myself either.

If their goal is to get more people to support Trump, it definitely won't work.

Their goal is to just troll and annoy, similar to what their dear leader does.

Think those that put stuff like that on their truck would not have done the opposite? I don't.

Think of it this way, when trump goes down in flames, that guys feelings are gonna be very hurt. It's like getting a Super Bowl tattoo before the game.

The driver probably uses the truck to bully others on the road too, which I experienced as a Prius driver in Ohio. It was always the big pickup trucks tailgating me when it happened, despite me already driving over the speed limit.

And when the trucks are that clean, they're probably not used for actual work.

The painted message is just a signal to the other bullies that he's like them.

All they have left is to instill fear in their neighbors. If they can make you fear them, they win, in their minds.

Trump is all about bravado with no substance.

I can only imagine their angst and dismay once tRump is no longer their President. (He has never been my president.) Their feelings will definitely be raw. And it will be sweet revenge to know they are having a meltdown. They have it coming.

"Fuck Your Feelings Trump 2020" is more than likely made up of the same people who are all up in their feelings over Black people kneeling during the anthem. Yet we're the delicate ones.
