... rally yesterday. I wish the media would cover this fact.
They come from 100s of miles away to be with their kind, live in some kind of fantasy world of bullshit, racism, and lies.

(7,429 posts)But they're on the wane. This first stop in Trump's revenge tour will probably be his peak performance. After this, the crowd will dwindle because he goes for the same thrill, the same lies, the same applause lines. It's a nostalgia tour. The only thing that's missing are the vendors selling caramel corn and elephant ears. Rah, rah.
BTW, most of the people in line are NOT fascists, but they wouldn't know what fascism is if it stomped on their collective heads. They're just the billionaires' version of Dead Heads, traveling from show to show to live in the elixir of community sharing, comprising the foundation of political activism designed to keep billionaire donors at the seat of political power.

(7,429 posts)It's too early to be certain of the claim that these folks are rally veterans, although I tend to believe it. We do need some facts to back up the hypothesis.

(70,449 posts)One of these jokers admits to going to 27 Trump rallies and his friend on another interview admitted to
attending something like 80 Trump rallies.
BTW the were sitting in a parking lot for a week? Just to see Trump and their fellow travelers.

(1,261 posts)According to Ali Vateli and other reporting that Trump is basically repeating the same old schtick is what appeals to them. At one point he even asked the crowd if he should talk about new or current things or dwell on the past. '
And like obsessed fans or toddlers, they wanted the same thing over again. And loved it.
It's weird and a little disturbing, honestly. But I guess its all part of craving an idealized past?

"SAD!"
And of course who could forget:
"Lock her up!".
