As for the idiots supporting him, there was a large amount of OWLs - old white ladies - in that mob. If I did a survey in that venue's parking lot, it would be split evenly between the Prius and Subarus.
Yes, there was that aspect but lightly applied. Didn’t see the audience but I believe you. Thanks.
