Some background:

Almost every day this truck drives through my neighborhood, heading west towards either the Turnpike or the Goethals Bridge. You’d think he would have stopped after Bolsonaro lost his re-election bid and fled Brazil for Florida, but I guess this guy can’t let it go. The tractor trailer was decorated with Christmas lights back in November & December, and it has loudspeakers that play a crazy variety of music from the US - including “Rock Me Amadeus”, the Ghostbusters Theme, Lil Jon songs, Bruce Springsteen, etc etc.

Has anybody else seen this guy driving around and/or does anybody have any insight as to why he’s still cruising around 5 months after Brazil’s election? I’ve tried finding info about the truck and the driver via Google and Bing, but I haven’t come across any references to it at all. I would imagine he’s probably being paid by Bolsonaro’s supporters to do this - I’d be surprised if he was working as an independent contractor hauling liquids for an actual company around here, with the crazy loudspeakers & endorsement of fascism and all.

Oh, the irony of playing Falco (or Bruce), but of course dumbasses who pull this crap aren't capable of grasping that. Falco was Austrian, btw.

They are just like Trump supporters. They love clinging to losers and lost causes. You'll never meet a more pathetic political bunch than the far-right.

I saw this guy in downtown New Brunswick a few weeks ago, right in the middle of the day! He was blasting YMCA that instance.

Thanks for this post. No one believed me and I felt like a nut!

Yup, seen him in Kearny Point. I was on foot when he drove by me and I couldn't understand where the music was coming from. He also has a video screen mounted between the truck and trailer. Total nut.

If he is working for a company as an independent contractor there has to be a company name on the door, his own or whoever he is working for.

I made a call to someone in the industry (dry bulk) that works in the area but they hadn't seen the truck.
