I watched or tried to watch tRumps rally the other day and he introduced these "Front Row Joes" Some have traveled to

[debm55]

over 200 of his rallies of poor me, hatred and namecalling. Who the hell goes to 200 of these things? I can't twist my head around it.

1. Retired and lonely?

Its their hobby i guess. They probably socialize with their group at the events, so its a party every time.

Sad, but the rallies are just an excuse for the rest of it i suspect.

6. I think we could think of better things to do. Visit the veterans in the VA hospital. read to children at the library.

work at a food bank, etc. and it's the same damn stuff being said over and over,

[lapfog_1]

2. pretty sure some of them are paid to sit through that crap over and over

I don't know how much, but whatever the amount, it's not enough

3. the republicon cult is weird

4. I have to assume that someone is paying these people to be professional trump followers.

Once you have seen one of his rallies, you have seen them all. Same stories (batteries, sharks, Hannibal Lechter, the snake, Sir with tears in their eyes) and the denigration of immigrants.

11. That's very true about his rally speeches. I have seen two of these rallies and he brings up "There are my Front Row

Joes but you never see them. Are they a figment of his imagination?

12. "Are they a figment of his imagination?" Now that could very well be. He certainly is not in touch with reality. nt

5. They're on Trump's payroll.

It wouldn’t surprise me if they were paid to be groupies.

7. Same brain dead zombies putting on a show at each venue.

I wonder what percentage of his crowd is just showing up to revel in the hate over and over again?
It's sort of a bizarre parody on the Rock Horror Picture Show, complete with costumes and audience participation. It's degenerating into an entertainment thing. Those poor dummies!
Will they ever realize that Trump is an entertainer and grifter, not a leader?
Probably not.
The country really need a Harris/Walz intervention this November.

10. I was thinking the same thing. BRAIN DEAD or Shit for Brains.

[Maeve]

8. If fans of Grateful Dead are Deadheads

Are these guys Poopyheads?

[allegorical oracle]

9. Roadies hoping he'll notice them. nt
