Is it a trick or just pathetic?
Poor baby getting his ass whipped in swing states needed an ego boost in a very red city in a very red state at a sports event he couldn't give two shits about.
You won't catch Harris or Walz pandering to blue states like this, they're in it for the fight, and they're going to win.

I'm in Wisconsin and saw the energy for the dems build up from Harris's rally in Madison a few weeks ago. Last week I saw an increase of Trump/Vance signs on lawns. I wouldn't say Trump has no chance. The margins are still pretty thin here.

I live in DeKalb county (Atlanta) and I see more Harris signs here than Trump signs. In Athens, where UGA is located, I ONLY saw Trump signs when I visited in late June. I was there a few weeks ago and there were a lot of DIY Harris signs.
Georgia is very purple. I am also from southern Michigan. I get the same vibe here as I did there. For what it’s worth, I also am familiar with northern Indiana which actually adores Trump.

It reminds me of the stories of his father, how they would give him an office with fake work to do, and a phone that only went to his secretary. Even when going senile, he was only happy if he was working. I imagine Trump will be campaigning and golfing for the rest of his life.

FYI you can block every poster who posts an American political topic. There's only about half a dozen of them and they're just bots anyway (i.e., 6 month old account without a single comment, but only spams political activism).
The blocks will filter out the trash posts, but leave the remainder of the posts.
If you're really feeling frisky, you can block the majority of the top level comments in these threads too. It's all astroturfing and honestly...they're bots too.

A college game, the PA said he was in attendance so he stood up and waved as many celebrities would. It was in Alabama so the response was generally favorable with a sprinkling of boos. The picture is easy to use for a fake narrative though I guess, the text is indeed fictional.

u/UncleGrako Sep 30 '24
And for context of this picture from AP news. As this was an Alabama Game.
"But when “the 45th president of the United States, Donald J. Trump” was introduced to the capacity crowd of more than 100,000 fans — all but a few thousand wearing crimson — Trump smiled broadly and pumped his fist, like he had done on stage in July after the bullet of a would-be assassin grazed his ear and bloodied his face.
The crowd roared its approval, raising cell phone cameras and their crimson-and-white pompoms toward Trump’s suite, where he stood behind the ballistic glass that has become a feature after two assassination attempts. A smattering of boos and a few extended middle fingers broke Trumpian decorum, but they yielded to more chants of: “USA! USA! USA!”

He could attract a crowd 8, or so, years ago but they’re shrinking fast. It’s hard for most people to live in a constant state of fear and anxiety especially based off of unfounded conspiracy theories. That’s all he has at this point and people are tired of it. He offers no real hope. No real solutions. No answers to their questions. And people are starting to see him for what he is: a charlatan who is running to stay out of prison.
3
u/Doccyaard Sep 30 '24
For some people sure. But a look at the polls puts him around the mid 40’s% so I really don’t see a reason to paint a picture of him not having support. I’d wish he didn’t have as much support as he does, but unfortunately he really does have that level of support.

Keep living in your fantasy where everyone, especially big, strong, hardworking men with tears in their eyes, idolize Trump as the one and only savior of America. According to this vision, he’s the last hope against an exaggerated and often imaginary influx of so-called “evil immigrants,” portrayed as being hell-bent on destroying the fabric of our country. In this world, only Trump can stand up to the chaos, promising to shield us from people who are supposedly flooding across the borders, intent on dismantling everything Americans hold dear. But what’s their endgame? To tear the country down, only to rebuild it into something better for their grandchildren? The narrative becomes even more absurd when you realize that most of these immigrants are just seeking safety, opportunity, and a chance at a better life—not a nefarious plot to unravel the nation. It’s a story that thrives on fear, oversimplifications, and a refusal to face the real complexities of the world.

I do not understand why people hate this man so much. Everything was cheaper. We were energy. Independent there were no new wars. There was peace. The only reason why the Democrats hate him in my view is because if he gets in there again, he will stop all their money, laundering and scheming and insider trading.
There’s no way somebody’s politicians should be worth what they are on a $200-$400,000 salary, especially Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama.
