At the Bernie AOC rally in Missoula MT!

[MontanaMama]

We are at the Adams Center at the Universiry of Montana. The lines to get in wrap through the campus. The place is filling up. Energy is high. People are happy.

My kiddo works at a private aviation company where Bernie and AOC’s jet will arrive. He said the security detail is tight.

1. Missoula is a blue dot

in a sea of red

[Maru Kitteh]

11. I live in that sea, to the north. I would have enjoyed AOC

but I had to work today and it’s probably just as well because it’s snowing like hell right now.

13. AOC was stellar.

I know you would have loved her. I sure did. This was my husband’s first political rally in his 64 years on the planet. He was impressed. Particularly with AOC.

We had a winter storm watch all afternoon, but so far, nothing has come of it.

[MontanaMama]

12. It's true.

Even with the influx of folk from elsewhere during Covid, Missoula is still my blue hippie town. It’s unaffordable but still blue politically.

2. Every event Bernie and AOC do is a service to Democracy and a jab in the gut to the meek who serve with them.

[MontanaMama]

14. It's true.

They are a juggernaut of hope and good energy.

3. Here in the other corner

7500 + 1500 outside.

[MontanaMama]

15. Those numbers are accurate.

The University of Montana is a small campus and our field house is not large…but it was packed and a lot of folks were left outside. I was so happy the predicted snow held off for those who didn’t get into the arena.

4. I'd love to see Carville

get a crowd this size.

[Attilatheblond]

6. Guessing most people in nursing homes don't go to rallies. Carville is S.O.L.

[MontanaMama]

16. Same

[Farmer-Rick]

5. He's bringing in over 30,000 people at each event

He and AOC have reached over 200,000 people on his stop the oligarchs tour.

Pedo Trump is going to have a tough time putting all those people in concentration camps.

[Attilatheblond]

7. Sheer overwhelming numbers is our best defense against TCF

8. I'm glad security is tight. You know this tour

has got to be driving trump nuts that he's attracting such huge crowds. For one, it'll trip his jealousy meter. Second, he already put himself into "office" so there's no need to do rallies like this anymore... but he still craves the energy of all that adulation. Third, these people are coming in droves to see Democrats! THAT has got to be driving more than one R bonkers. I'm grateful to Bernie and AOC. They keep the word and message at the forefront for everyone... not hidden behind huge Orwellian headlines. Be safe!

9. I loved that line from AOC

Where she said if Trump wants to go after criminals and rapists he should start by looking in the mirror.

[MontanaMama]

17. The crowd went NUTS!

As it should be.

[Delmette2.0]

10. I saw him in Billings in 2016.

I wish I could have been in Missoula. I'm not in a nursing home, but I can not stand for hours to get in.
I hope everyone has a good time!

[MontanaMama]

18. I hear you Delmette.

I transported a few elderly neighbors to the rally…when I say elderly, I mean older than I am and I’m 60! Not all of them had an easy time but everybody ended up inside and got seats which was the goal. It was a heck of a rally. The U of M did a good job with security. I was worried about that.

[Delmette2.0]

19. You are so kind to take your neighbors.

Thanks for the update of the event.
