The vehicle convoy in Homer started at 2 pm on Sunday, but those in the back of the line said they didn’t start moving until 3 pm, because the line was just that long for the Trump truck rally.
They circled town on a 10-mile circle with lots of people along the side of the road waving.
The Russian-Americans came out in droves to support the president. They told our citizen reporter in Homer that they know what it’s like to live under socialism and communism, and they want nothing to do with it. The entire event was organized by a son of immigrants, and publicized just a few days ago on the Chris Story radio show.
People from Homer lined Kachemak Drive, especially near the Gear Shed, at the base of Spit and along the Spit. “People who couldn’t be in it were happy to be waving at us,” said one participant.
“We had a few people flip us off going the other direction, but we love the haters,” he said.
Citizen journalists told Must Read Alaska that 217 vehicles took part in the parade on a very windy but clear afternoon. The wind was so brisk the flags were literally snapping in response.
