I'm confused, I thought he told his peoples they didn't have to vote.

During his remarks at the venue, Trump complained there were “thousands” outside who wished to come in but were denied entry.

The same people who the media denied being at his inauguration, I'm sure… /s

Weird how none of those people at the inauguration were driving or taking public transit. They must've all walked, since the usage metrics for those two don't align at all with what Trump was saying, and there's no way he was ~~lying~~ spreading alternative facts.

GA is also one of the states with 2020 election deniers. The state needs to set up some sort of auditing body to ensure proper and timely certification of election results, the conservative ghouls are really banking on rigging electoral votes this time around.

Waah, waaah, waaaah!!!

Combine this with the recent footage showing Trump waving to literally nobody so his team can edit that footage later showing him waving to enormous crowds.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

We still need to vote though. The interest in his rally's and even him may be mixed overall and waning, but so much gerrymandering and the predisposition of the politically ignorant to simply vote red because the "blue are the bad guys" is crazy.

Hillary lost in 2016 because too many were complacent and were sure he would lose.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

100% voting!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

If there is video released of Trump waving to nobody, Kamala needs to use this in an attack add….

“No one else stands with weirdos, do you?”

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago

If they aren't showing up for his rallies, they probably won't be showing up for the election, either. Wouldn't THAT be a shame?

/sarcastic slashie!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

Orange traitor bitch. I hope he suffers.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Maybe sometime can find some security cam footage of those huge crowds that were waiting outside?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

No, as Trump pointed out, the libs had made them go a long way away from the outside of the building so that they couldn't be seen.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 month ago

People dodging bullets.

Literally.

Few weeks ago, people died at his rally.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

I imagine people not voting for trump.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago

Oh I am imagining Jerry, and I'm loving every minute of it!

[–] [email protected] 46 points 1 month ago (3 children)

They're empty you dumb shit because you've chased them to the other side.

I finally feel some hope watching this goddamn guy finally self immolate.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I think (hope) he's chasing them over to RFK. Still get the Trump-crazy but at least some of the policies seem sound at surface level. Just don't look much below that.

ETA: let me be clear, I'm not saying they should vote for RFK, but if getting them to Kamala is insurmountable, getting them to RFK as Trump's spoiler is good enough.

That grease fire gonna burn for a while, unfortunately.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago

I'm sure fire would take one for the team.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 month ago

Last time he did this, he got Ossoff and Warnock elected.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 month ago

They're voting for Harris, obviously.
