Wiscasset is a small picturesque coastal village in the mid-coast region of Maine. About an hour north of Portland on Route 1, Wiscasset exudes all the visual charm expected from a seaside New England town. Beautiful historic homes line both sides of the main street along with antique shops and art galleries.
“Up the road apiece ” as the locals would say, lies another quaint coastal village called Damariscotta. It too is a pretty coastal town that lures tourists from all over with fine restaurants and gift shops.
It is a wealthy area of the state and for the most part is very blue politically. You see more Harris signs than Trump signs, even though the number of Trump signs has grown quite a bit. Most of the Democrats that live in the center of these towns probably feel quite safe from the Trump deplorables that might live in the outskirts of their enclaves.
Today we turned that idea on its head and decided to perform a friendly invasion of sorts.
Affectionally called “The Trump Train,” residents who are tired of the taxes, tired of the liberal polices, and tired of the nonsense coming from Washington D.C. formed a caravan of trucks and cars, bedecked with Trump signs and flags to support Donald Trump for president. The goal was to drive slowly and safely through both towns honking horns and waving at passers-by. Some folks took poster boards and taped them to their windows with messages that read “Trump 2024” or “God Bless the USA” Such deplorable behavior indeed. We gathered at the Wiscasset Speedway, a small racetrack just outside of town.
At the head of the Trump Train was a beautiful green garbage truck decorated with Trump signs. Before getting in our cars and trucks to start the Train, we stood together at the back end of the garbage truck and said the Pledge of Allegiance. When it was time to sing the National Anthem, we heard the voices of the J6 Prison Choir coming over the loudspeaker reminding us that the Trump Train is for them as well. It was a tearful moment I will not forget.
