Kamala Harris held a rally in Detroit Wednesday in which she once again trotted out some kind of weird accent that she somehow thinks honors the locale (but which is actually insulting), and she once again had to provide a free concert to get folks to show up. But there was something different about this rally – that’s the completely FUBAR’d logistical situation as the rally-goers tried to get back home. The chaotic scene perfectly encapsulates what America would be like under a Harris presidency: a complete lack of organization/accountability/sense in government, resulting in tired, hungry, and angry masses of people simply trying to escape.

The rally was held at a hangar, and people had to ride in shuttle buses (yellow school buses) from the parking area to the hangar. The problem was, there were no signs telling them where to board shuttle buses upon return, and since the hangar was next to a UPS facility, by the time the rally ended there were UPS trucks everywhere, blocking the buses. According to attendee Josiah Lippincott, it was utter chaos.
A Kamala volunteer just broke down into tears.

There were quite a few white coach-type buses, but those were for the people the unions had bused in.
The larger white buses in the above photos are not shuttles. Those were for union members and others who were bused in by the campaign. The Kamala people used school buses as shuttles.

Yes, you read that right. Not only did Kamala have to provide free entertainment to get people to show up, the unions bused people in.
Once Lippincott finally got on a bus, he was the only one on that bus (even though people had been waiting for 2.5 hours in 90-degree heat) because of a communication error between the dispatch center and the bus drivers as to where people would be dropped off.
The white man rides alone. There are a bunch of people who still need a ride but this driver won’t switch lots so no one got on except me. I am planning on walking from his drop off point. Lol pic.twitter.com/spfGbiXhWg

Lippincott summed up the problem well, and with an illustration:
The rally was at the circled hangar. But it is located on a spur off the main road highlighted in red. The arrow is the turn around point for the buses. Add a bunch of freight trucks from UPS, confused campaign staff, and tired and hungry rally goers and you get complete chaos.
UPDATE: I kindly asked my driver to switch drop off locations in his GPS. He happily complied. The power of having an above room temperature IQ.

It ended well, though.
I think I convinced the driver to vote for Trump. He dapped me up when I got off.

It won’t end this well for America if Harris makes it to the White House, that’s for sure.
