Yesterday my daughter was threatened by a Trump supporter.
She was coming home from school late. She had a meeting...it was hailing here and she blinked her bright lights on and off in order to see better...she is a very cautious driver...the guy some ways in front of her blocked her car at the exit by turning sideways...he approached her car...at first she thought he needed help...but he launched into an unhinged tirade about the lights...and she was terrified. ...

Ohio is open carry and some of these folks are very dangerous.
OK, I'll admit that hail is very rare here in Silicon Valley, and I've never had occasion to drive in hail. But it seems to me that blinking one's lights off and on would be a bad idea, messing up the eyes' irises' natural action of adjusting to surrounding light.
Flashing one's lights may be ass-holery, or it may be a distress signal. The guy went with the latter possibility and blocked her car, just in case she'd been abducted.
He realized she'd been an ass-hole rather than signalling distress and chewed her out for it.
Really? Open-carriers are dangerous? How many non-self-defense shootings have been carried out by open-carriers inOhio?
Daughter had been an ass-hole and got chewed out for it. My guess is that, rather being "very cautious", she was late for her meeting and was flashing the guy in front of her, wanting to go faster. She should have been ashamed, but fear (if real) might also deter her from similar future ass-holery.
As for the guy's MAGA hat, appended as an afterthought at the end, made up, to get DU-Cred and stir up shit. Maybe she should try to peddle this to C
FNN. They're into peddling
Fake News.
