This rally exists for one reason, and one reason alone: assuaging Trump's ego and trying to snap him out of his funk. It's not about winning Oklahoma. It's not about looking Presidential. It's entirely to make a 74 year-old child feel better about himself.
And if there's one thing we know with 100% certainty, it's that he views crowd size as an indicator of success. This has to be eating him alive, and it's positively hilarious!

It only works for so long, and then only on the braindead turd zombies. THEY are in it for the duration.
May they ALL circle, circle, circle, then DOWN the toilet drain together.

Kind of like when he realized they were booing him at the baseball game.

And, if Trump hit her, would there be a cover-up until he's out of office?

(12,586 posts)Thats right: supporters of Borussia Mönchengladbach, the German club that currently sits in fourth in the Bundesliga standings, have developed a novel oddball concept one worth replicating around the world if coronavirus-era sporting events take place in empty stadiums and arenas in the coming weeks and months. For 19 euros, or some $20.60, fans of Borussia Mönchengladbach can purchase a cardboard cutout of their likeness, to be planted in the Borussia-Park home stadium seats during games. Time.com

(153,160 posts)that bastard rode on the accomplishments of Obama until the economy crashed, he completely botched the virus response and cannot even handle routine updates, BLM supporters vastly outnumber his racist followers and he's been going through extreme withdrawals due to the lack of his hate rallies......this was essentially going to be his BIG COMEBACK, he literally WISHED for a million people, just like he wishes the virus will go away.....you'd think that yet ANOTHER dismal failure for him would WAKE HIM THE FUCK UP but he is a malignant narcissist who cannot see past his own needs so GET REALLY FOR MORE MELTDOWNS

(8,739 posts)Biggest in history. But..... fewest teeth at a rally in history. Antifa would not let his people in, he actually said that. But he had heavily armed militia oldside. THEY let the mysterious Antifa overpower them? Fucking snowflakes. Hoping Repubs realize this will not re-elect them and start standing up for democracy. That Fox base is shriveling like Donnies mushroom near a strong woman. A black one!

(2,227 posts)If they suddenly "see the light", many of those who are totally disgusted with the whole party and have washed their hands of the turd, will turn around and re-elect the enablers that helped us to get to this point. They are desperately looking for a reason to return to the fold and continue to support the OLD republican party.
But it no longer exists.

(8,739 posts)100 percent. When they show you who there are, believe them. They showed it during impeachment, and the Ryan Tax fraud. They ARE, Trumpism.
Mr. Ected
(9,670 posts)The same media they've ignored for 3.5 years. Right.
So that means they trusted the lamestream media more than you, is that right?
Any way you look at it, you lose, Trump.

(790 posts)Trump is feeding the virus with this stunt. Our only defense against Covid-19 is keeping our heads down. It's sickening and very troubling that people would deliberately put their own health at risk, and expose innocent folks they come in contact with, in order to hear Trump's usual raft of reheated lies.
P.S. -- No telling how many lives the rick roll may have saved.

(1,850 posts)are still a lot of people, stupid and deluded enough to attend an indoor rally for 45. More than enough for a super spreader event, if not enough to feed his ego.
But the 2/3 empty seats show something surprising. A lot of his supporters are way smarter than him and less gullible than he expected. Don the con loosing his touch!
So happy to see it.

(15,381 posts)For a while, the daily COVID briefings were what was keeping him going because he got to act like a dick to the press, but then it became apparent what an idiot he was, and they stopped them.
He just got his heart-broken by Tulsa. Will he risk having it broken again with more rallies? Will they never be the same? Can he reach down into his dark soul to muddle through with something approaching the old energy?
And what of his base? Are they now as disillusioned as he is? They can whistle past the graveyard all they want, but they know last night was humiliating for him. Has that broken the spell? Can he no longer own the libs? Will they not be willing to be a part of future humiliations, or will they roar back in an effort to show us what's what?
