Replying to @JulieNBCNews
Some of the folks left stranded were older and disabled. Multiple people tried to hitch rides from strangers amid the pandemic.

The single, narrow road to get in and out of the rally site was shared by pedestrians, cars, busses and emergency vehicles.

A chaotic scene where hundreds lined the road a mile up from where President Trump held his rally in Rome, GA — attempting to exit the event.

Some people were sitting and laying on the ground. It’s 46 degrees and windy in the area tonight.

The Trump campaign will get the supporters to the rally and then abandon them because they don't have the money to get them back to their cars.

incompetent to have adequate advance teams working with local officials.

They’re a cluster no matter what.

their usefulness ends when the rally is over. So why WOULD he care what happens then? At that point they’re just useless baggage.

The sheer contempt is staggering. Once could have been seen as bad management, but how many times has this been? Three? More? This is on purpose.

That along with the aftermath of thousand of lies, deceptions and conspiracy theories he and others are sowing on social media makes for the No. 1 source of entertainment in Russia, China and NK.

Who needs something like Netflix when you can watch America self-destruct in real-time on TV?

a difficult time dredging up ANY sympathy for such people.

They choose to be and remain deluded.

Were we still in 2016, I could possibly dredge up a small shred of humanity.

But now, there is absolutely no excuse for them. None.

I can see where he might be projecting his sagging poll numbers on them as a betrayal and he's getting his revenge by directing his advance team to leave them twisting in the wind, or at least shivering in the wind. His behavior is pathological enough to make you wonder.
