9. I think COVID had a lot to do with it. And Trumpsters hypocricy and lack of courage.

I think many like to talk a big game. That they don't need no stinkin' masks. That its all a hoax. But when push comes to shove, literally, they take the side of self-preservation. The old, "its fine if its happening to the Other, but when it affects me or my family...."

I predicted this low turnout, and said it would be a lack of courage, because of the COVID virus fears for large crowds. And knowing that they'd be called out if they were one of the few wearing a mask so they first were afraid of the taunts if the did protect themselves, and knew they'd have to attend without one, and thus expose themselves. I was criticized by one here for using the word "courage", like Maher was about the 911 terrorists I guess. But that's what it was I think, they were too frightened to put their money where their big mouths were, when it came down to it.
