(32,080 posts)They're the same ones you see in the crowd behind him at every rally, calling themselves "Blacks for Trump." They're either being paid tons of money to do this, or they are the most self-loathing people on the planet.

(31,011 posts)I would be certain they are getting paid and comped expenses as well. There's literally no doubt at all that he runs a racist campaign and contrary to what some state, America is a racist country. In my opinion, he buries Reagan in the popularity/worship arena now. Reagan is probably looked down upon by the cult members.

(32,080 posts)This explains a lot. Thanks. Kind of like Reagan announcing his presidential run in Philadelphia, Mississippi.
As for the lack of masks, it's not surprising. I'm betting that most of them are coming from what are already COVID hellholes like Florida, Tennessee, Mississippi, Georgia, etc. So, they're just giving themselves added doses of the virus. Just speeding up the process of taking themselves out...

I look at that crowd and wonder how many will end up in the hospital and die, especially the kids I could see up front.
So we wait for what, 5-14 days since Delta moves so quickly? And where are they going to go with the hospitals full? This sundown town and neighboring communities are about to lose some of their population.
And as we know the grifter, surely asking for donations at booths set up for his fans, cares not a whit for these people and thinks of them as low life suckers. But he has the power and controls them easily.
This is what it comes down to.

Too bad they weren't standing on a highly conductive surface when the thunderstorms blew through.

(70,496 posts)of them dies. Time to thin the herd.
And they should not get "the science" of hospital care either.
I agree 100%. Let them die. At some point you have to stop trying to save people who refuse to save themselves.

BTW that crowd shot is one of the most disturbing pictures I have ever seen.
It is something along the lines of this:
Except the Jews did not volunteer to go on "that train ride." What is happening to America?
Sorry to babble that picture has really put me into a bad place.

Nothing like a good heavy exposure to Covid-19 Delta variant after a good wet chill to wear down the immune system of 60 year olds.

(3,406 posts)The entire state is a sundown town. They executed a man who was accused of murder, even though someone else confessed to the crime. The white governor decided it was ok to execute an innocent black man who was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Ivey has blood on her hands.

(54,358 posts)I feel bad for those with real medical emergencies who will get no care because the local hospitals will be full of local people suffering from Covid, but this is the bed they chose to make and sleep in.
Just don't anyone who was there EVER tell me they are "pro-life." After reading that article about the Governor gleefully executing a man who almost everyone agreed did not commit the crime for which they were killing him, that goes for their government and governor as well. They are as Pro-Death as the Taliban. The only difference is that they wear MAGA hats instead of turbans.

Ilsa
(61,694 posts)Maybe it's about becoming a local (and statewide) hero when previously, they were targeted. Maybe they want to stay close to home if they are from AL. I don't get it, but maybe that's because I never played on an athletic team.

Or for the health and life of others.
It's frightening to see this many people here, and at other rallies that can be brainwashed so easily. It really makes you concerned for the future of our country.

Trump directly participates in sending some of them to their deaths in the quest for his glory; we all must sacrifice some, and some of us have to sacrifice all to Make America Great Again. Heroes all...
I live among those people, that is why I sometimes seem a bit disheartened and depressed.

The walkers just keep walking following each other.
This is the non vax and non mask folks.
Just going over the cliff.
Also the walkers follow noise like Trump.
