Report from the field in Butler, PA

[Joe Cool]

While podcasters sit on their a$$ in basement studios thinking they know everything about everything, I’m out in the field in the real world.
But, in this case, I’m sitting on my a$$ in my living room.
So, going through some local social media and I have repeatedly come across comments from local cult members who attended the rapist/felon/fraud/loser’s second rally in Butler indicating they talked to a lot of people who were NOT from Pennsylvania but attended the rally.
The fact that 20,000 people showed up doesn’t mean all 20,000 were from Pennsylvania.

1. Part of his crowd is always his merry band of Trumpheads

I have read many times that there are Trumpers who follow him all over the country and some have gone to dozens of rallies, if not more, like the Deadheads of old followed the Grateful Dead.

4. That is a good point....

Butler Pa. is not an easy access location for folks out of state...not a boarder state except somewhat closer to Wheeling WV, Youngstown or even north in Erie Pa.... a good afternoon type drive...

Did anyone identify a state they came from?

5. Improving the US 30 corridor from NE Ohio would help

It’s a two-lane dipsy-doodle east of Canton

6. (I suspect a majority came from the state of Stupidity.....)

a very large majority. Some from the state of Insanity, state of Ignorance.....

7. There's over 9 million people living within a 2 hour drive or less from Butler

Probably close to half of that live in either Ohio or West Virginia

9. That would include....

Pittsburgh, Wheeling, Erie, Youngstown for major size citys....

12. And Cleveland (almost 2 million in Cuyahoga, Lake & Lorain Counties) & Akron (over 500,000) & Canton (almost 400,000)

8. Butler is about 30 miles from the Ohio line.

Easy drive for Magas in Ohio.

10. Plus there's always somewhere between 500-2000 paid from Craigslist etc

I wonder how much the TFG campaign shifts how many people they pay to show up based on the needs for press coverage

11. Since Trump's first post inauguration rally in 2017 .......

it looked to me that Trump seemed to need the visceral encouragement in the form of adoration from strangers to get through his day. It revealed a truly unstable, sick fuck readable like the script of "A Face In the Crowd". That deluded crowd has evolved into a phenomenon which reminds me of "dead heads*".

* In no way am I suggesting Grateful Dead fans have anything in common with MAGA except for their camp-follower-like loyalty. Our MSM is no different as exhibited by their moths-to-a-flame fascination and devotion to the fraud's antics has, apparently, no end.

13. This is

what a cult does.

14. Trump groupies?

Trumpies ?

15. If only

I wasn't so worried. Folks voting for a fascist dictator that will hurt us big time scares me. I've already voted in Michigan and turned in my ballot. It's been logged in and is ready to be counted. Dem all the way!
