They're scared of a lot more than bad drivers.

They've been soft. They always picked on weak people.

The few traditional bikers left probably have cases or outstanding warrants to go politicking for some a-hole. That meat shield wasn't going to put any money in their pockets.
Pretty much.

A reporter on MSNBC interviewed a group including a man that had ridden his bike from San Diego to WDC. All were supporting The Donald. That is their right.

I saw group being interviewed on inauguration day.

Looked like a bunch of car salesmen dressed up in leathers. They all said they loved Trump. They were clueless about how government works.

They were going to protect people with their "meat"? Well, that would certainly be a unique view...

Did anyone actually see them during the inauguration? Were they even supposed to be in attendance during the Women's March, too?

I don't think the bikers came into town in large numbers or as cohesively grouped as thought. They generally do come in DROVES for Memorial Day and Labor Day weekend. They shut down the entire 30 miles express lanes in and out of town every year with police escorts, lots of press, lots of coverage, and support. Had they come in like that for the weekend, I'm sure they would have received coverage. They also were not allowed into the ticketed areas where most of the cameras were.

I posted this on another thread. Bikers without guns are just motorcycle enthusiasts. Outlaw bikers have no respect for anybody including trump.

It wouldn't matter where they put the capital. Liberals tend to congregate in cities over time. SF, LA, NY, CHI, etc. were not always the hotbed of liberalism as they are now.

You can put the capital in the middle of Oklahoma and eventually it will turn liberal. The movement of people tends to follow a predictable pattern.
