A few takeaways from the MAGA rally yesterday:

1. I have worked on campaigns and been active in politics since 1988. I had never been to a Trump rally though. These are much different than anything I have experienced. They are like revivals where Trump is a god. The lines that

get the loudest applause are the ones that are the most deranged.

2. These people have no use for GOP Senators or any other Republican who isn’t 100% loyal to Trump.

3. They really don’t identify so much as “Republican.” Of all the signs, flags, banners, hats and shirts, I never saw “Republican” or an elephant logo on anything. It’s not loyalty to a party, it’s to Trump.

4. Although they want Trump to remain leader, few believe he will run in 2024.

5. Mike Flynn is definitely running for president in 2024. These rallies are his attempt to take
over the MAGA movement. The big question is what Trump thinks about that.

6. People there were half for Flynn and half for Desantis in 2024. They have zero interest in anyone else, who they perceive as either too weak, RINO, or too disloyal to Trump.

1. God/religion is seen by the christofascists as an all powerful daddy who keeps them secure...

from change and their "lessers". They have been trying since Reagan to replicate that in the US with a WASP dictator and a christian theocracy.

[leftieNanner]

2. It had a rally?

I wonder who paid for it.

Plus

[empedocles]

3. Good question

[Captain Zero]

6. Probably no one. Someone will have to sue them

to get paid.

14. The Shorn-Again

...who fully believe their "baa-aa"s are lion roars.

[MuseRider]

15. I have never heard that term, The Shorn-Again.

I like that. Thanks, I will try to use that.

[JHB]

16. It's actually an old term (I first heard it in the early 80s, I think)...

...to describe "born again" Christians who are devoted to preachers and televangelists making a mint off their flocks.

[MuseRider]

17. It really is perfect!

Thanks.

[snowybirdie]

4. I never would have

known about any maga rally unless you mentioned it here. The less said about these fools, the better.

[TheBlackAdder]

9. They kept it on the down low. After all, Treasonous Rat Bastard Rally doesn't have a nice ring to it

[certainot]

33. i'll bet a lot of local rw radio stations pushed it

trump was the personification of 30 years of limbaugh and sons - limbaugh with better hair, they're more dittohead than religious and it's unfortunate the pollsters continue to ignore the largest common denominator

[msfiddlestix]

5. so, where was this maggot rally?

[dameatball]

7. I had no idea there was a rally. I guess the cult needed a booster shot.

[DENVERPOPS]

26. In reality,

probably a circle jerk out on the lawn in Marawhaever, reported and sensationalized by Faux news as a "rally".....

Rush Limbaugh once said that Trump was a fierce competitor, having come in first place AND third place in a circle jerk......

8. A link to a report about the Rally on 4/24/21 would help.

Where, When, Who, What...you know, the basics.

Nothing.

13. Probably this one

10. THe American Dream

Betray your country/run for president

[Mr. Evil]

20. Yikes!

How's that for freedom! (freedumb?)

[GoodRaisin]

11. I'm another who didn't know there was a Trump rally.

But I haven't watched much cable politics lately so I probably wouldn't know unless I see it on here.

It doesn't really matter that they don't identify Republican. The Trump voters are also wedge issue voters. When the time comes to vote the wedge issue voters will still vote for whoever has the "R" after their name and whoever is running will keep that "R" after their names.

[maxrandb]

12. Bullshit! "They really don't identify so much as Republican"?

So WTF are they, Honganeeze?

Jesus on a trailer hitch! THIS IS THE FUCKING RETRUMPLICAN PARTY

Describing them as anything else just gives cover to what the Retrumplican Party truly is.

[Progressive Jones]

18. According to any Republicans I know, these kind of scum ruined the GOP. nt

[moreland01]

19. Best take away of all . ..

I had no idea there was a MAGA KKK rally yesterday. Means I'm not paying attention anymore. Yeah, me!

[Fla Dem]

21. You're absolutely right, this is the KKK reborn, just without the white hoods and bathrobes.

[Treefrog]

22. I saw no news yesterday. There was a rally?

[bringthePaine]

23. always refer as "convicted traitor Flynn"

[birdographer]

24. No idea there had been a rally

also don't care. I'm sure the flat-earthers had one recently, too. And the Scientologists. Oh wait, but they probably pay for theirs.

How do those idiots feel about Hawley? He is hell-bent on inheriting the MAGAts and having them do his bidding like they do trump's.

Our neighbor put up a bright orange flag (how fitting) that says "Keep America Great Again - Trump 2024" Keep it great again? Idiots.

[BobTheSubgenius]

25. In a rational world, Democrats would have to love running against either Flynn or Desantis.

In any other time in modern history, that is.

[calimary]

28. Mike Flynn? As in THAT Mike Flynn - felon? Worked for trump?

Had to resign his White House job in disgrace in only a scant few weeks? Traitor to his uniform, and, thus, to his country?

THAT Mike Flynn thinks he’s presidential material????

Well, I, for one, will NEVER think so!

Fuck him.

He thinks the White House. I think the “Big House.”

[soothsayer]

29. Big house! Yes!

[SWBTATTReg]

30. there was a rally? Who the f**king cares? As far as I am concerned, they can drop dead.

And in truth, more than likely, they will.

They are ignoring getting vaccinated, they're ignoring common sense protocols to avoid spread of the disease, as well as running roughshod over everybody else's feelings, etc. They literally don't care what 80% of all Americans want. They care only about their tiny tiny sliver of Americans (20% of republicans (0% of democrats)),

20% of republicans are still die hard bigots, bullies in every sense of the word, idiots that whip out their guns at the unprovoked drop of a hat, and are rude loudmouths as to their opinions and such, ignoring everybody else in the room.

You know who I'm talking about.

[Jon King]

31. Great news for Democrats!

Desantis and Flynn are unelectable, zero chance in swing areas. Both are Trump surrogates and thats the worse possible thing in a national election. So either they nominate one of these clowns and they lose by 15 million votes or they nominate someone else and enough of these people don't vote.

Either way, let the Repugs fracture.

[soothsayer]

32. Huzzah! And trump is going to steal all donations anyway

They knew he was a snake when they let him in....

[no_hypocrisy]

34. How much longer before they lose interest in Trump?

Americans, esp. those with little or no education and those who watch a lot of FOX News, have a short attention span.

Germans went back to being non-Hitler/Nazis after a few years after they lost the war.

RWNJ's went on with their lives after McCarthy was censured, and later died.

[multigraincracker]

35. Anyone holding this sign?

HANG PENCE

They’d cheer it and it’d scare they crap out of Republicans.

Make a nice bumper sticker.

[Nululu]

36. Like the White Supremecist rallies, nobody cares

Trump's officially a loser and few delusional jerks support him or the White Lives Matter Rallies.

[onethatcares]

37. was supposed to be a boat parade

yesterday because of the loser of the election birthday. This was to be in Tampa Bay and the organizers were going to hitch along with the Gasparilla Day boat parade held every year to make it seem like it was all for the loser. The grifting runs very deep with these jackasses.

The winds were blowing 20 mph from the north with gusts to 34 mph on the bay. No boat parade happened as far as I know.

38. soothsayer....

Thanks for posting this. I don't think I would've seen it otherwise.
