Back in 2020, a Trump rally came to a town near me. I had never attended such a large political event and it wasn’t the most convenient time, as I had young kids, but somehow I knew I had to experience one of these historic events first hand. I went with a friend and her teen daughter. The first thing that struck us all was NO MASKS. In a crowd of thousands, during the height of feverish mask pushing, here was a crowd of people who realized already we were being lied to. I have perhaps never felt so at home in a crowd as in that moment. And also it was so much fun, even for an introvert like me.

Like him or not, these Trump rallies ARE historic. The fact that they happen fairly regularly does not change that. They have given voice AND a listening ear to so many “forgotten” Americans and honestly, as I watched the Bronx rally, it made me less inclined to follow the sometimes-sentiment of abandoning the blue states to their doom. Nope. I saw a crowd of my people, all of them. I loved it. If they are willing to fight for positive change, we can support that. Go Bronx patriots!!

The South Bronx rally: Just WOW!! 🩷❤️🩷

I am white, raised in Brooklyn, and very different from most in the crowd, but one thing about being raised in NYC, you feel a 'sympatico' for all the different groups that make up the mosaic.

Trump feels that too as a Queens raised person. I know that he is genuine. He IS NY, he started the Renaissance of NY in the 80s, and these people see what the corrupt system of democrats in NY are doing to him now-- in NY.

They are not stupid.

This was absolutely 💯 amazing! 👏👏

Been to four Trump rallies, got into three. The one I couldn't get into I got right to the door and it hit capacity. There was a line further than I could see behind me that also didn't get in. The contrast to the biden 'rallies' was to me another stark reminder of the stolen 2020 election. No campaigning, rallies attended by a few dozen, hiding in his basement, yet he wins? And here we are four years later, the country sinking to oblivion. Stolen elections have consequences.

This!! ⬆️

I think that is a big part of Trump's appeal, he makes Americans who feel they’ve been left to the side and forgotten by everyone else in power feel seen and heard.

It's pretty much the whole appeal, IMO. Trump saw a "market" there and seized it. His supporters (at least the dozens that I know) don't worship him the way the media suggests. This isn't like Obama, with starry-eyed college freshmen crying over his speeches and setting up altars to him. He represents their pent-up anger toward the Regime and acts as their middle finger for those who feel they've been wronged by the Regime with no recourse.

This is just my conjecture, but I honestly don't think he cared much at all about the people who support him when he first started this. I think he saw an opportunity, wanted to run for President, didn't expect to win, thought maybe he'd ghostwrite a book about it, maybe do the talk show circuit.

Then, he started to hear people talk about how their towns and neighborhoods and families had been destroyed by the Regime that took away their employers and flooded them with drugs.

Then...he won. And, the regime started coming after him and it got personal.

I now see a different look to him. He seems to actually care about people he has nothing in common with except that they are all oppressed by the ruling Regime. And vice-versa. Like all Presidents, he's a figurehead and a symbol of the narrative we want to define our country. Contrary to the MSM narrative and attacks, it's not about him as a person; it's about what he stands for on behalf of those who support him.

That's what all the horserace talking heads get wrong: it's not at all about policies, which literally no one outside of college educated elites actually care about, except in broad brush terms. It's about listening to the people and what they want and providing a vision that gives them hope for the future. That's exactly what we haven't seen in our politics for decades. Instead, it's been "we're the experts and the smart ones and we'll tell you what you should think." Trump says out loud what my aunt said to me years ago: all these people running things are idiots. That's the whole battle.

These rallies are really something. It's special. And I hope it's a sign of things to come over the next few decades. I hope the people have finally had enough of globalism, forever wars, growing gov't, growing debt, ever-rising inflation, handouts and bailouts, druggies on the streets, trannies in the schools, and all the rest. And I hope this will keep going after Trump leaves politics, whenever that may be.

Agree with everything except the first two paragraphs. I think he got into politics solely because he could see the downward trajectory of our country (and maybe even because he had seen first hand how easy it was to manipulate the system; IDK). For way too long, I didn’t truly understand the “they’re not after me…I’m just in the way” comment. It’s true, and IMHO, the only reason that he got into politics at this stage in life. If it was solely for his ego, I think he’d have done it long before. Remember when HRC said he’d make a great President? 🤣 She was right, and I can ignore his stance on the jabs (for now) to give him another chance. RFK fans - I get it! But he can’t win so think long and hard before you split the vote and hand the decision the House.

I have no idea about his motivations, but do think he has a gift for channeling the zeitgeist/reading the room. This old clip from when he was 34 is prescient - saying politics is a 'very mean life' and that 'people with no great brain and a big smile' get elected. Presume he was talking about Jimmy Carter, since this would have been around 1979 or 80. https://www.tribuneindia.com/news/world/its-a-shame%E2%80%A6-when-34-year-old-donald-trump-was-asked-if-hed-ever-run-for-president-of-united-states-598181

Oh he cared… did you ever see the interview with Rona Barrett? He had been considering running for president because of the craziness that he saw in the White House for a long time before he threw his hat in the ring. But once he got involved, he realized it wasn’t just crazy but intentional destruction of our country. That is when his level of care escalated. Man had nothing to gain other than a future for his family and all Americans! That is why I respect him.

Honey he had this plan from the Generals of the United States!!! Not on his own! And that’s crazy you don’t think that he cares about us on his 2016 win! He came for the children! He came to wake us up! This past 4 years has all been done to get us out of the Matrix. And we are close, but we still haven’t learned to be kind to one another. Our Consciousness is raising. We are all learning all the lies we were told our whole life. So don’t ever think he at one time didn’t care.

YES!!! That's exactly right. Giving a voice to everyone who feels unheard and forgotten. We are all being screwed in this country with inflation and the rampant crime and the border wide open and congress stealing every last dollar we make. We're getting screwed and we know it. Trump gives us hope that we can fix these problems and feel like we can live our lives freely again.

You could see it clearly in the 2016 election with the high blue collar support. Their union bosses had been supporting candidates and policies they felt didn’t represent their interests well and they rebelled by voting for someone they thought would actually go to bat for them.

I see both sides - my husband and I knew when we married we wanted to raise our family in the south for many reasons so we did leave a northern state for a southern state ten years ago but I know many dear people still fighting up there and we have found we can’t be complacent even in our once supposedly deep red but also uniparty-corrupted state. So I think the battle is everywhere; we need to stick together and encourage each other no matter where we are 💕

We must be forever vigilant. I live in a very traditional reddest of red states state; too many of our “leaders” (local to state) are straying from the Republican Party principles & core beliefs more & more. In some instances some Democrat state legislators vote more conservatively than our GOP ones.

Our super majority GOP doesn’t vote like those who elected them expected. Hopefully many will be primaried out next go round.

I haven't watched that video but I watched another video yesterday in which a post from Elon Musk was mentioned where he says something along the lines of AI will usher in universal income from all. My first thought upon reading that was Musk is a socialist. I have not been on board the AI train at all and only see it as being a way to control us more. However, after scanning the comments, someone said that Musk does not mean socialism in the context that we have seen in the past. The idea is that AI would usher in a time when humans would benefit from the work done by AI and the income generated would be shared among everyone. Believe me when I say I do not believe in socialism at all but it certainly made me think about AI in a different way. I hope that is the case because nothing would surprise me after everything that has happened the last 8 years.

I do not think Musk has benevolent intentions, personally. He's deep state DARPA goon. That is how it will be presented to those who are wary - it's truly to help us. No, sorry, it's for total control.

To generate income, producers need buyers. Income-earning humans have income. AI bots do not. So in this brave new AI world, who are the purchasers of all the stuff AI bot factories will produce?

Seems like Musk's ideas are built on the MMT pyramid, where money's real value is whatever its users say it is, where there is no physical asset behind money, where the economy becomes even more Ponzi-eqsue than it already is.

I listen to Whitney quite a lot. She is probably one of the most intelligent investigative reporters I follow. Sadly, in one of her podcasts she stated that the Rapture was pure fiction and supported the comment with the fact that the word Rapture isn't in the Bible. I wish I could have sent her the link that I sent a C&C commenter the other day that explained it, when they said the same thing.

Would I be incorrect to posit that the rapture is based on faith in general, and therefore unprovable? I would guess that is her angle overall, but I don't know. At any rate, she is a brilliant mind...a walking encyclopedia of deep state knowledge.

You do have a choice at airports, just tell them you'd rather show ID and for now they accept it.

Same! And ours was a bit more sober a crowd as it was in Kenosha. WI after the riots. (I live across the line in deep blue IL). I saw bikers and teens, moms and truck drivers, and even a number of blacks in war torn “defund the police” territory. There was notable worry that maybe Trump couldn’t pull it off — and Wisconsin knew they needed him. My sense is they know it even more now but they fear civil war—After all the two-tiered justice system might come home to roost before it’s over. Someone needs to do a poll in Kenosha/Racine….

First of all I live in Commifornia…Back in the fall of 2020 I attended a fundraiser in NoCA put on by The California Chapter of Childrens Health Defense. The guest speaker was RFK Jr. No one wore masks either. This was an entirely different type of ‘crowd’ than the MAGA rallies, but they were equally concerned about their medical freedoms and personal sovereignty, and the government telling them what they ‘could and could not’ do.

Susanna Bythesea's avatar

I hear you. I will never forget that RFKj listened to moms whose children had been injured when it seemed like no one with a national platform would listen. I have a lot of respect for him due to this.

But I don’t think he could win the presidency nor do I want his other views and policies anywhere near the White House. I hope he is willing to advise Trump on some shared issues if Trump is re-elected.

Frontera Lupita's avatar

I’m also in ‘your camp’ about RFK Jr. I totally support the work Children’s Health Defense has done to shine a light on all vaccines & the injuries they have caused, the tyranny that goes on with the medical industrial healthcare delivery system, and their regular postings of a lot of good information, yet his views and policies on ‘other issues’ don’t always sit well with me. But then again I’m not a Trump fan either, and don’t feel he is the ‘savior’ for our country, either. Until there is a total and complete dismantling of our entire ‘system’ (political, government, medical industrial healthcare delivery system, education (lower

/middle & high school as well as colleges and universities), science/tech/corporate America) then we will continue to be screwed and under the tyranny and propaganda messaging that was really ramped up over the past four years.
