Supporters of President Donald Trump showed up to rallies across the country and on Long Island Saturday.
Supporters gathered on Main Street in Patchogue as part of a coast-to-coast rally organized by organizer Donna Ingrassia, of Long Island.
Ingrassia says she started the grassroots effort after Trump had COVID-19 and was unable to travel for those days, as well as when she saw that Trump was trailing in the polls against presidential candidate former Vice President Joe Biden.
She says groups from California to New York held rallies in the afternoon to support Trump.
They are out there promoting everything about America that the Democrats are looking to knock down," Ingrassia says. "I know that the Biden supporters, not all the time, but they prefer to be in their basement have their masks sealed across their face not talking to anybody just being unhappy, destroyed thinking everything is wrong about the country."
The organizer said she decided do one big nationwide rally after helping organize local rallies that News 12 has covered over the past few weeks.
Other rallies were held in Massapequa, where some folks lined the street holding Trump signs and flags asking cars to honk.
Meanwhile, News 12 reached out to Biden supporters to see if they are doing last minute rallies as the clock to Election Day comes closer.

(5,200 posts)10,000 cars is 0.1% of the population. Also, a sporting event that gets 60,000 or 70,000 fans is going to need parking spaces for over 10,000 cars. Finally, while the NYC area is overwhelmingly a Democratic enclave, there are certainly parts of Long Island and surroundings (Staten Island) that trend Republican.

(4,643 posts)BTW You might think a 10,000 car rally on Long Island might be on the cable news shows.

(20,964 posts)So is a phone interview with Democratic Party chairman Jay Jacobs about the number of Democrats in Nassau county who are out voting rather than waving flags and honking horns.
Here's a screenshot from the local news report of the live event.

(8,090 posts)even in "blue" states like New York (or I think it was you). Where, exactly, do you think you'll be able to go to escape them? Dems needs to fight them, not snowflake on them.

(4,131 posts)1. 20 million people live in the NY metro area.
2. Roughly 20% of adults in NY metro are registered Republicans (4 million people).
3. 10 thousand people is nothing.
Calm down, tell these weepy relatives to relax, think logically and go vote.

But who cares. Trump will lose LI badly. Let them waste their time driving around instead of calling voters in other states.

(2,375 posts)Though this is NY, let's not ignore or make excuses for these rallies. They do exist.
Get out and vote! Take you family to vote! Offer rides for people who want to vote in person!
