I know Weirdo is the current kinda forced (IMO) word we're hurling at the magas these days, but that kind of behavior is legit weird. Like really weird.
There's obviously the "some people have more money than brains" angle of dropping 4K on something so you can destroy it.
Then there's the "I'm a grown-ass man, and I'm so insecure about a female celebrity endorsing a politician I disagree with that I'm going to drop 4K so that I can publicly and in front of cameras showcase that insecurity for the entire world to see, while gloating and being proud of it" angle. (Which by the way, smoothbrain magas, serves to amplify her endorsement, not diminish it.)
I can't promise I'm not going to drive around with "Fuck Donald Trump" blaring and my windows down all during election day and the day after (regardless of outcome), but I'm not going to spend $4k for the privilege, and I'm sure as hell not going to do it for an assembled audience.
The sign in the background says "wildgame dinner".
I'm guessing this is some redneck hunters group that either auctioned that off to be destroyed on stage, or he bought it in his own time for this act.
These kind of people live to hate libs. It's one of their favorite passtimes.
In that context, this seems totally normal.
