It is all the same people who go to these Trump "Bund Rallies." Very few 1st timers at the OH ...

... 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.

I think of that guy who was nearly beaten to death by a couple of “fans” for wearing a SF Giants tee shirt to a LA Dodgers game.same thing tribal identity that provides a sense of belong and self esteem.

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.

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.

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.

I never heard if there was, which kind of surprised me. All that screaming and no masks with large crowds.

I believe a fellow called Karma will be visiting lots of them due to their utter stupidity. I just hope they don't kill too many sane vaccinated folks who didn't go to the rally, but who have the bad luck to know these imbecilic stumps of pretend patriots.

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?
