Trump Campaign Eyes Return to Megarallies

Might as well. Two weeks ago this would have freaked me out. Now, not so much. Go for it!

Trump Campaign Eyes Return to Megarallies
May 20, 2020 at 6:46 am EDT By Taegan Goddard


Politico: “The president’s 2020 team is also keeping a close eye on regional reopenings, where modified campaign activities could soon be permitted, according to three people involved with the discussions. Some White House allies have encouraged the campaign to prioritize its plan for restarting rallies, worried that the optics and purpose of Trump’s official travel — during which the president has sent mixed messages about his administration’s response to the pandemic while surrounded by aides in face masks — is too morbid and lacks the showmanship his core base adores.”

They'd only be satisfied if he murdered immigrant children on stage and flung their blood on the audience.

Second Wave is going to hit Trump's rural areas. Low-information voters. Guns. Evangelicals, mega-churches. Not enough hospitals.

I wonder what it will take for these people to wake up and realize he doesn't care how many white folks in red hats get sick and die, as long as they vote for him on the way out?

I'm done worrying about his big rallies. I'm saving my worry for the people who stay away but get sick from these fools.

Encourage them to wear it everywhere. It will help the rest of us know who to avoid.

Just record the event and if Fat Donnie says anything new it can be included in the daily news.

The MAGAs are crazier than ever and all they have to do now is deliberately cough on someone or tear off somebody’s mask to put them in danger.

We've seen pictures of black drapes to hide the empty 60% of the building.
Or camera shots clearly aimed to not hit upper level empty seats.
They're over covered and under attended.

Except they don't need a slogan to help the epidemic.
The virus did a pretty good job by just being ignored for 2 months. It needs no encouragement.
