(450 posts)Blood was pouring everywhere? No, it was dripping from the top of your ear only. I have had more blood from a bloody nose on occasion.
And, bullets continued to fly? Weren't there only three in total from his would-be assassin. Continued to fly sounds like a non-stop barrage of many, many bullets.

You can zoom in and see each individual chair. Someone more patient than me could use the chairs to estimate the bleacher capacity. The standing area is harder to estimate. I don't know how big the fairgrounds area is as a whole, but this looks to me more like a small concert capacity.

(2,549 posts)I wish we could divide our country into two countries. Let the MAGAs have Trump, and the rest of us can have a democracy. We can watch them burn down their own house.
I have nothing in common with the people at this rally, they look like theyre crying as Trump talks about the attempt on his life. I cant see how we will ever be a unified country.

HoosierDebbie
(450 posts)I wonder if there is any way to tell which food comes from the MAGA farmers at the Butler rally? In college we knew which grapes were union and non-union because they were clearly labeled. Informed decision making.
ShazzieB
(22,590 posts)Either way, Whether or not someone supplies food or any other commodity I need and pay for has no bearing on what if anything, I have in common with them personally. Farmers aren't growing food out of the goodness of their heart anyway; they're doing it because it's their job. We all have to make a living (those of us who weren't born into endless wealth) by doing a job that we get paid for. Some people's job is growing crops, raising livestock, etc., and more power to them. That doesn't mean the rest of us all owe them a special debt of gratitude that supersedes the good of the country and the future of our democracy.
I don't feel like I have anything in common with someone who thinks a twice impeached, sexual assaulting, convicted felon and would be dictator who hates and wants to harm me and people I care about should be potus, no matter what they may produce. MAGA morons could sh*t diamonds and rubies, for all I care. If they vote for that orange hellbeast, they're idiots who are harming this country. That is all.
