So Lufin's Dad posted this:

Everywhere you look it's all about "Trump supporters tried to run Biden bus off the highway".

Of all video I have seen none seems to show this. It does seem like one of the trucks moves in front of the bus much too close, but I don't see any evidence that they were brake checking or swerving at the bus.

Intimidating? I suppose if guns were waved but I have heard no allegation of that. You're driving a freaking behemoth bus so I don't really think anyone is that intimidated or at least they shouldn't be.

There is video of an apparent non-Trump SUV crowding a Trump-Flag-Flying 4x4 pick up. The white SUV is clearly right up to the line, camera moves away (doesn't it always?) then comes back to show the white SUV definitely over the line, perhaps even initiating the contact and the pick up aggressively bumps against the white SUV and shoves it back in its own lane.

More video below.

It was @George-K that posted the video in a thread I started.

I read where the Biden team canceled 3 events because of that... I also read that police did show up, tracked the bus and the trucks, and nobody violated the law. Of course, they did miss the white SUV that tried to cut over...

I believe that white SUV actually bumped into the truck to it's right.

Slow it to half speed playback and watch what happens at 0:15.

But anyway, I didn't create the meme. I would have used 'rednecks'.

The region represents the very remote countryside of Central Texas

There’s a huge Texas bbq joint in Manhattan called ‘Hill country BBQ’

Still not hillbillies. That's an epithet exclusive to rural whites east of the Mississippi.

I do not advise you to go to Hill Country and throw that term around.

But if you do, please tell us about the reactions.

Note I was responding specifically to your comment. Jolly’s point is taken, as I said I would have said redneck.

I am, after all, the only born Texan here.

And I figure I've spent turn near as much time in Texas as you have...Used to hunt between Fredricksburg and Doss.

And no, there ain't no hillbillies in the Golden Triangle.
