So who was the audience here? Two dozen delusional hillbillies, or a crowd of 10,000? One is a story, the other is not.
Looked like a pro setup, staging, sound, graphics, etc. Crowd at the end sounded small, kinda echoey. I've seen that sort of thing at the Hilton. 200 people in a ballroom sounds louder than this mob. ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ
Crazy to say, but this sort of thing doesn't really matter unless Trump wins. It's not winning him any votes he didn't already have. No one is undecided about this guy. Far as I can tell, he only stands to lose voters.
If he does get in office, this sort of rhetoric will lead to violence.
Estimated 1-2K.
Thanks! I guess that's a fair-sized crowd? Nothing to laugh at with 1,000+ in attendance, little more serious.
Most of you are far younger than I, but this shit would not have stood back in the day, let alone be normalized. Which is kinda what I'm doing here, ain't it? Fuck me.
Keep this front-of-mind folks; This is what we'll be up against if Trump wins.
"All politics is local." The top only gives permission to these people. Their actions will take place locally. Not a paranoid dude, always looking for danger, but I can see Brown Shirts knocking on my door.
"Hey Shalafi! Look, just here to talk, protect you. C'mon man! We're your neighbors, you know us! We all good! Just hand over the guns so you're safe. Swear you can get 'em back after you apply to the Committee of Public Safety."
Keep that in mind while banging away to take our guns. I am a peaceful man. I am not a harmless man. I am able to make that choice. Friends and neighbors, have you made a choice? No problem if you choose pacifism! I truly respect that take.
"If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice", guitar riff.
And to lighten the mood, this had me laughing out loud.
