Saw him in 2016, it was good. He did just kind of repeat thr exact same talking points he always hit but he was definitely passionate and the crowd loved him.
I actually love the fact that stadiums full of people go to political rallies and get jazzed about policy speeches. It’s strange, right? But I’m glad it’s something we get collectively psyched about. In a democracy, it (usually) feels healthy.
When you phrase it that way it does sound good. I’m not the most statist girl you’ll meet, but I’m very pro civic duty, and caring is the least you can do.
Who needs it right? Let’s go harass political opponents, jail journalists we don’t like, have people executed on our birthdays like they do in Russia - there is no democracy in a 2 party system anyway, why keep appearances. Let’s go full fascist, that will show how we are better than the other fascists.
It’s not the same, it’s in the same direction. If you want to defeat somebody you must make sure you remain better than them, otherwise they may as well win.
I agree with you, I don’t want to tolerate them. Cool. There are still rules.
What do you hate them for exactly?
Speaking for me, I hate Trump because he is a bona fide fascist and some of his supporters are nothing short of brown shirts, and these people are not outcasts in their movement, they are welcomed and praised.
Now i hear your wonderful idea: let’s behave like brown shirts as well, that will show them. If we behave like fascists then maybe we can prevent the others who behave like fascists from taking power! I don’t want any fascists in power, left or right leaning.
Let’s not tolerate those motherfuckers. Let’s hold them accountable, jail that orange piece of shit for the treason he is guilty of, jail the jansixers and send them to break rocks, make those responsible of fascism pay for it. I have no use for more fascists.
That’s an invitation to the general public (including conservatives) to attend (could be online) a Trump rally to see for themselves. It wasn’t an order to go to the opponent (and heckle them).
I went to a Bernie rally in college with a friend and my mom. Despite that description it was actually a lot of fun, but it was bernie in 2016 and hope hadn’t yet died.
I don’t really get going to political rallies at all, but what kind of losers with nothing better to do go to a political rally of your opponent.
It’s an attempt to intimidate or even start a fight. You know, like brownshirts.
So… do you think the brown comes from Dear Leader’s diaper?
I would have loved to see them fucking try. This isn’t 1939
Ehhh, I don’t know about that assessment
I can confirm it is 2024.
In 1939, they came with billy bats and sticks and actually got into fistfights.
Today, they come with assault rifles and bombs. I don’t want to see them “try” anything, thank you.
Into a packed, well guarded (especially so after two failed assassination attempts of another candidate) arena?
Good luck even getting inside.
They’ve been trying for at least 8 years.
Silver shirts to red caps.
I went to a Bernie rally. Only time I’ve wanted to go to a rally before or since.
Same. He was amazing in Washington Sq Park in 2016

Same, it felt like we had a chance to go forward
Same, Bernie is a cool dude, would have loved to see him be president
I went to a Bernie Sanders rally, it was 🔥

I’d be down for people going to Trump rallies to harass and abuse him.
Problem is, there is no exit strategy.
Apparently at a few of his rallies attendees have been stuck without buses. He doesn’t care what happens after
Also, he doesn’t pay his bills for the rallies apparently either to the city
Why not, it’s only antidemocratic if they do it, right?
Democracy in a 2 party system? puh-lease.

Of course using your voice to shout down literal fascists is the same as gaoling journalists and executing people as birthday presents . . .
Intolerance cannot be tolerated.

No, intolerance cannot be tolerated.

He like red. You like blue. Everyone get purple. This, ooga booga, is more fair. Is better democracy, ooga booga.
I don’t think anyone called the hecklers antidemocratic for being there.

It’s gigantic difference.
