I flipped to Fox for a few minutes.

Oh. My. God.

During a commercial on Erin Burnett, I decided to see what the Repukes were up to. Live coverage of the rally in a church. Pretty much it was nonsense interspersed with attacks on the media. A couple devotees shouted "We love you!"

He said other countries are calling him asking him how we pulled off such a great and massive testing effort, saving 10's of thousands of lives. How we shut off our borders to China and Europe while Nancy Pelosi and the "Dems" put our "open border ideology" above the safety of American citizens. But the "fake news media" will never tell everyone how great Trump is. Blah blah blah. Chants of "Four more years!".

Felt my blood pressure & heart rate rising, so headed back to CNN.

I need to go douse myself with Lysol

His crowd is like the evil spawn of Jerry Springer & Ricki Lake....laughing at every insult he spews, booing every progressive/sane person he mentions. Blech.

AND ALL THIS IN A CHURCH. VERY un-church-like behavior.

... right-winger channel of garbage.

Trump is ranting against mail-in ballots.

Almost nobody in the audience is masked. A camera focused on one of the RARE young people wearing a mask, and he had it below his nose!

Despite the fact that this state has had mail-voting (including for POTUS) for the entire 12 years I've been here, and I'd imagine for longer than that.

Most of the people there probably vote by mail.

... when he talked about not allowing it.

Mostly kids in the crowd -- i.e., "young Republicans".

that Republicans are the party of love and democrats were the party of hate. Crowd goes wild.
