He obviously needs them to reassure his ego that he matters. I also think the rally goers need the rallies to validate their worldview. Probably the only time they can wear their Trump patriot costumes without being laughed at.

The alpha-toxic male type who are prone to cracking heads because they regard violence as an important bona fide that proves their masculinity and macho patriotism.

(100,262 posts)And start analyzing the people who consume it. Like seriously, what causes a person to go to a Trump rally in 2024 after all the shit he's put this country through? And what causes a person to listen to Fox News or TPUSA or any of the other right wing bullshit? I think the sooner we start analyzing these questions, the better.

(289 posts)A friend posted on a liberal cannabis forum on Facebook asking if Donald Trump belonged in jail. I was horrified. Most people said no. That he was being set up over nothing (this first trial should be last and Jan 6 is losing attention). They viewed it as Biden games. I shit you not. And the other half of people think Biden is a mass murderer because of giving weapons to Israel to invade Gaza. Regardless of your views we need to face this terrible reality. We could get Trump because of the Middle East. Yes I know he would be worse but people are stupid. Dont underestimate their ignorance. And Trump will unleash hell and murder and imprison our peers. This I believe 100%. This reminds me of Hillary running in 2016 and all the unproductive Bernie arguments and vitriol. In the end what mattered was we lost. Speaking of Bernie he put out a video reminding people to not take focus off Trump regardless of what you think of the protests. People need to focus. Both sides. We are being divided and arguing over something that will dramatically change if Trump wins. God help us.
