BTW picture #2 sure looks like the "white women" who voted for Trump in 2016.

I don't know if the area would be considered suburban to Pittsburg. Those small
towns and cities in western PA had tons of anti Hillary haters.

In the winter of 2017 I was driving through western PA on I-70 a little west of Greensburg in
Washington, PA and I still remember being behind a car with NRA stickers, Hillary for Prison,
and a "Fuck that Bitch" w/a picture of Hillary on it bumper stickers.

Towns like Greensburg have been turned into hate-villes by the 24/7/365 forces of hate talk
radio, right wing TV, and internet garbage. For Biden to get support like that in Greensburg
is a very good sign.

Someone who attended said there were about 1000 people there. Local TV station said 300! Ha!

Women hate Trump and they love Joe!



I remember taking a drive up Rt.8 in western PA 4 years ago, we had to go to Titusville. My husband bought something from a guy up there. I was just appalled at the hateful and venomous yard signs bashing Hillary. I remember one with a Halloween witch bashed against a pole with a sign saying Dump The Witch Trump 2016.

So, this is so refreshing to see in your post!

Not a bunch of red hats and obscene t-shirts or signs or raging screamers.

A nice change from Joe's opponent's folks (many of whom are hired on Craigslist).

Refreshing.

He's going to make a stop in Michigan soon. I'm thinking of being a part of it.
