    On that note, why the fuck was Trump in Oklahoma? Republicans don't need to campaign in Oklahoma because the odds of a Democrat winning Oklahoma are about on par with a Republican winning New York or California.
    These rallies are not to get people to vote Trump.
    They are to stroke the ego of the great leader.

    Hence why he tends to hold them in deep red territory.
    It ignores such insignificant forces as time, entropy, and death

    Oh yeah for sure...especially after he was bragging all week about "a million requests for tickets."

    Yeah, that was the best theory I could come up with: They figure it'll be a friendly audience.

    You'd think that. But being infected with Covid affects your sense of taste.

    These people are god damn insane.

    And they had the gall to claim Democrats treated President Obama like he was the Messiah.

    We see it here regularly with they usual shitposters. They claim no dem or liberal media source ever criticized Obama on a particular subject. Then the articles and old post get shown, then they cower back to their moms basements.

    True, but any chance to point out the bad faith posters the better.

    Strangely enough, I don’t find Trump’s obsession with...I’d say Watergate but that’d be confusing. Anyway. You see the same thing with the ramp, and his refusal to wear a mask, and his continued lying about his health - there is no room in a fascist world for the physically infirm.

    God that article was horrifying to read. A cult of zealots that will gladly drink the kool-aid only after they have killed all the "non believers".

    Um...how many ticket applications did that tweet say they had? I could have sworn we saw a tweet saying hundreds of thousands.

    The president told @johnrobertsFox the protesters are all paid actors. https://t.co/ea3AYgapCJ

    That and sadly we have an adult population with so much hate and resentment that triggering the liberals is all they have.

    Hate for what? Resentment for what?
    Most Trump supporters are boomers/old gen Xers, and they had it much easier than everyone else

    It's a hoax, and if it isn't it was someone else's fault, and if it wasn't you can't sue.

    Covid is still responsible for Trump’s falling number, while lying by blaming others, is far more easy than having the aptitude in leading the country.

    The more nuanced implication, is combining the attacks on China with Bolton’s revelation of Trump groveling in front of China to help with elections, to the point he praised their concentration camps. In that context, this is a bargaining chip, where quid pro quo is solely dependent on Trump rhetoric. As Trump put it to the Mexican President, on a call that resulted in all Trump communications becoming secret, if they scratch Trump’s back, he will do the same for them... we are an investigation of Biden and praise of Trump away, from China being our greatest ally.

    Regarding that KPop thing, it's like Trump supporters suddenly get to experience what it's like to be on the receiving end of bullshit.
