    impressive that "democracy is on the ballot" when your opposition is a big dry boy who wasn't even bothering to campaign. He'd be toast against anyone competent and not-evil

    The last rally where, for the first time ever, he actually interacted with a small child in the stereotypical "kiss the baby moment", but he was very obviously us8ng the child as a human shield from would be sniper shots, was one of the funniest things I've seen in a while.

    Like imagine considering this guy a literal god among men and you bring your family to his rally and he calls your kid up on stage and just positions your kid right in front of him while calling Harris a communist for 2 hours. And now you have to actually listen to his whole shitty speech cus you have tpnget your kid back.

    Who can really blame him, every time he steps foot in public he's either being yelled or shot at.

    Having to do you rallies in a bulletproof glass box because people keep pointing guns at you is kinda like having to wear a condom because your partner has an active STD flareup.

    I would love to see the 2020 numbers as well. This could be partially justified by saying that in 2016 he was establishing his political presence whereas now he is already widely known. But if he has reduced since 2020, then this is a sign of a loser, which I would love to see.

    Edit: 2020 numbers:

    June, after convention: 2

    July: 0

    August: 9

    September: 15

    October: 35

    There has been a decline in August and September each time

      Usually one big one and then a sort of afterparty rally at a second nearby location like that hilarious one that ended up accidentally being in the parking lot of an adult video store.
