Chaos in Maga land!!! Trump supporters stranded in the Coachella valley.

Stranded at 🍊 rally in Coachella. Surely someone is to blame 🫠 When I tell you they are in the middle of nowhere, I am serious. Thoughts & prayers! Watch out for the coyotes!

“This is criminal” says attendee. 🍊man’s Coachella rally attendees are still stranded at midnight and have been told no more buses are coming. Are RivCo deputies going to transport them to safety or will Tr*mp save them?

And a few days later he did it again in Rome, Georgia, as mentioned above.

https://people.com/politics/trump-leaves-supporters-stranded-in-cold-after-georgia-rally/

But that sort of news doesn't get reported on FOX, so this bunch didn't know Trump has a track record of this sort of poor planning and disregard for what happens to supporters after the cameras have stopped rolling. They're crying "sabotage" and blaming VP Harris, Gov. Newsom, Democrats in general, anybody except the actual responsible party: the Trump campaign.

Sun Oct 13, 2024, 08:44 AM
Oct 2024

The rally was held on PRIVATE property therefore attendees had to park elsewhere and were bussed in. There were plenty of buses to get to the rally, however, there seemed to be a problem refueling the buses because the stations in the area having fuel for the buses were depleted.

The attendee cars were parked up to 2 hours away from the rally location. Then because of the fuel shortage the buses need to travel further afield for refueling. Buses were running out of gas in route stranding attendees and buses alike. To make matters worse, all but 1 of the buses were recalled home because they misjudged the fuel situation and the number of attendees remaining at the site.

One of the attendees declared that there must have been sabotage involved so be prepared for Trump to take up that theme and blame HARRIS for having stranded his rally attendees out in the desert until the wee hours of the morning!

Trump cares not one whit about the wellbeing of his own supporters. Is it really worth risking death to go listen to him babble for two hours?

And that is usually a pretty safe assumption. However, these things DO make an impression. People who would otherwise vote for him without thinking decide that they will just sit the election out this time, or complain about it in the bar or beauty salon or church. In this case, it WAS the responsibility of the venue planners, but those venue planners still have to at least notify up the chain that there are going to be problems, and chances are pretty good that those venue planners likely aren't getting compensated either - that's Trump's MO in a nutshell.

I'm not expecting a conversion of these people into full bore liberals. There isn't a snowball's chance in hell that they will vote for Kamala, but if it keeps them from voting for Trump and down-ballot Magats, I'll take that as a win.

A large bunch of people stranded in an unpopulated area just north of the Mexican border with nothing but the shirts on their backs and no transportation to anywhere.

Could this be anything other than a mass transport of illegal immigrants? Hire some buses from Tijuana and send them back on a one-way trip to Mexico. If they want to enter the United States, let them come to the border and go through the standard, legal process.

It would be expensive and inhumane to fly them to Martha's Vineyard. It's too cold, now.

#MAGA Trumpian protocol was fitting as the “Trumpet Master” hosted his latest rally in Coachella Valley at a “Manure Farm”.

#TrumpRally This setting was perfect for the master s*it talker to host his BS to his flock standing within proximities of S*IT!

That’s a pretty difficult trick he pulled off as his followers were left stranded 5 mi away from their cars late into the night. #CoachellaRally

Way to go “Farticus”…you’re definitely a ‘loser” today, tomorrow, and always.
