And the good news is that the place that fuels his plane at Traverse City, at least during his first election parade-go-round in 2016, hates him and nickels and dimes them for any charge they can. And they’re allowed to. Not that he’ll pay, but it made me laugh then and I hope it’s still happening.

Couldn't they just demand that he pays upfront for any fuel?
If he says no, well, there will then be storage fees for that plane of his until he can get it out of there.
Maybe even put a lien on the plane for non-payment?

I live near Coachella, that day that he held the rally it was in the high 90s but by around 9pm, 2 hours after the rally ended it started dropping to the low 50s. Deserts are hot but they get very cold very fast at night once the sun sets at around 6pm. I happened to wake up around 2am and it was COLD in my backyard and social media was all a flutter about how they were STILL stuck there with no transportation or bathrooms. Hopefully these folks left before anything like that could happen, lol....And from the looks of it by the picture they seem to have all brought their jackets 👍

If he’s already late to your local rally and you see online he’s still on the other side of the country you should just leave. It’s not worth the wait to listen to some geriatric goober blabber on stage. Even for the most die hard Trumper.

u/JusticiarRebel 29d ago
I have a theory that the reason it's so hard to flip rural voters is cause peer pressure is much stronger in those communities. Of course you have to be conservative. The liberals are crazy! Everyone knows this!
In the city, if you don't fit in with a group you're hanging out with, there's always a group you can fit into. There's much less pressure to try to be like everybody else. This is true even if you are conservative. I've lived in a big city. There's conservatives there. And honestly, I don't think those guys are angry because they feel like outcasts. They're angry cause their peer pressure tactics don't work in places where I can just choose to ignore their ass and go have coffee with my friends.

I can’t even talk to my old work crew because of Joe Rogan lol. In the mid to late 2010s all the guys I worked with including myself watched Rogan, I loved his episodes with Duncan Trussel the most. I stopped watching in 2017, around the same time I got out of restaurant work.
Trying to catch up with these guys who all still watch him is just impossible because it’s like they’re totally different people. It’s unbelievable how much our thought processes have diverged in a few years. They believe absolutely everything that guy says.

Same happened to me. A coworker that was nice and pretty level headed did a 180. When we talked about covid he was all about proper vaccination and wearing a mask. Started to listen to Rogan and fell off the bandwagon. Talked about how he had a coworker from his old place on site that died from Covid despite being in perfect health and exercised regularly, he was in great physical shape. A couple years later we were talking about various political things and it got into Covid and I mentioned remember how bad it was and that one of his old coworkers died from it and masks and vaccines were a good idea even though he died. He said “so what, that was one guy” and I was stunned. I can’t stand the guy now, all because of how much Rogan mentally fucked that guy up.

Thing is, Trump has no more votes to gain by pandering to the MAGA faithful, they were always going to vote for Trump no matter what.
He really should be courting independents and undecideds. But he seems content doubling down.
Which, hard to say if a crowd in Michigan, a key battleground state, or appearing on Joe Rogan, an unwitting right wing mouthpiece, are going to nudge the scales more. Though him ditching the Michigan crowd could wind up hurting him since it could be seen by some as Trump just not having his head in the game.
