Even if you don't read the article, the pictures from the rally are pretty much exactly as you would expect. I've also had fever dreams that were less animated than some of these attendees.

Just living her best life spending her social security check to follow a snake oil salesman around the country. All while living off of gallon containers of potato salad. My god Fox News did a number on this country.

The wretched dolt won't have to worry about spending her Social Security check once the orange mobster becomes dictator -he will end SSI because he will have no need for her dollars when he can tap the treasury.

Living off social security while railing against 'socialism'
Literally the first word out of two of the name of the program - and still a hard disconnect

This makes it sound like it's the same bunch of crazies following him around. Anyone got pics of other rallies? Are the same faces present?

Stop calling them rallies, they are religious congregations

They are rallies like the nazi rallies, promoting hate and worship of a belligerent authoritarian who feeds into their fears.

Ok yes he did technically run in 2 states in 2000, for 2 months:
But in 2011 he just talked about it without ever doing it:

I would kind of like to go to one just to see it and take photos. Would you feel more sorrow, anger or confusion?

Probably a similar feeling of curiosity like when I visit a zoo. Except it would be a slightly morbid curiosity since these are people, and their vote counts the same as mine.
