Tehachapi CA went from 40 protesters to over 300 today! The locals magas lost their minds, posting all over FB that we must have been bussed in and were getting paid!!

The truckers were wild! No holding back support today!

The vibe was so positive 90/10 with a smattering of fuck yous, a bunch of coal rolls by the local militia-wannabes and one really angry man.

But the absolute level of support was unprecedented for this town.

It’s happening. People are waking up! βœŠπŸΌβ€οΈπŸ™πŸ½

Coal rolling, especially on a gathered group of people, should be treated the same as you would an attempt to choke someone out. My local laws could prooobably be used with wording for attempted aggravated assault, which would be a 3rd degree felony.

In my small town I was surprised by the amount of support we from people driving by. There was one guy literally flying a swastika Nazi flag and heiled at is, but other than that people seemed supportive.

I realize OP is a bot, but isn't Tehachapi a trail town? Seems like too much maga would be bad for business.

When I was in tehachapi in 2018 or so had a dentist on the corner who put a like 20 ft long trump sign on his building. Every house outside of the city limits had some trump memorabilia flags or signs. It was a railroad town that got left behind and its pretty rural. We didnt stay long and quickly decided not to entertain moving there

I mean it seems like tariffs would be bad for business as well but whatever

Ya true, but these towns that seem to be economically dependent on outsiders never get these things. Pretty cool to see a group make this protest happen there!
