Democrats cancel Central Texas event after Trump supporters surround, follow Biden bus

Central Texas (KXAN) — Supporters of President Donald Trump allegedly harassed a Joe Biden-Kamala Harris bus as it traveled through Central Texas on Friday, according to local Democratic activists.

Videos and photos posted on social media show a long line of vehicles flying Trump flags trailing the Biden-Harris bus as it traveled north from San Antonio on I-35. In some images, the bus appears to be boxed in by the vehicles.

Some members of the Texas Democrats’ campaign say that a Biden-Harris staffer’s car was hit during the incident.

It'd obviously be horrific for those stuck in the hellhole states, but America would be best off splitting into separate countries.

The divisions are never going to heal and they are never going to agree. Chop it up into 3 or 4 countries and let the South see how it gets on with an Old Testament society.

Splitting off the South just means oppression for millions of non-white people (a majority of Black people in America live in Southern states), and punishment for not being able to overcome the anti-democratic actions of the largely Republican politicians that rule there.

Yeah, if you date it back to the end of reconstruction, 1875 or thereabouts.
