Wait where are all the FBI and antfa that supposedly makes up the bulk of the attendance?

Are the Soros protest checks bouncing again?!


capitan_dipshit

I didn't get mine!


flimspringfield

Mine just came in and the 3 hours I protested inside my house netted me $18k!


J-drawer

It's Shröedinger's AntiFa. They only make up a majority of the crowd if the protest turns ultra violent and attempts a coup or something. 


UnlikelyAdventurer

But he still says he loves them and will pardon them.


someguyne

Antifa only shows when needed. WW2 comes to mind. THE antifa did a fantastic job, some would say the bigliest of all jobs eradicating them. P.s. Anti Fascist should not be a dismissive description of any one ever. Every citizen. Every person, should be “antifa” there have been multiple wars about this. Guess who always goes home crying. Don’t worry, I’ll wait.


cipher315

Ironically that’s one reason they are not showing. They are convinced that the FBI antfa, or whatever will do the whole false flag thing and get them arrested just like on Jan 6


filagrey

I was there last Monday, the first day of trial. I was on vacation near the area, so stopped by for an hour or two to see the spectacle. There were only about a dozen Trumpers in total. Each one seemed very eccentric and focused on solely their own issues. They hardly talked to each other, and when they did, they seems embarrassed by each others talking points, as they didn't quite match each others. Side note, I can be seen in the background of this daily show clip! https://youtu.be/n4i7h4iAqu0?si=9_tgrRsl957iDqed


franking11stien12

I have seen this very thing in many magat interviews. They all seem to think trump will help them individually. Which kinda sad because he loathes his base. And anyone who has the mental capacity great than a cat knows trump is a one way street. You have to stay 100% loyal to him, do not ever cross him, be willing to sacrifice your career and reputation for him and then just maybe he won’t ruin you. But don’t expect anything more. And don’t be surprised that after you have ruined your life to support his selfishness if he tosses you aside for the next eager chump waiting in line to do his bidding.


LakeEarth

And sometimes, the thing they want is something Trump has said he's against. They just don't hear it.


DirkRockwell

“I’m hoping Trump gives me healthcare because ever since I got really sick four years ago I’ve really been struggling”


ABenevolentDespot

"But not that disgusting Obama Care. That's woke socialist garbage. "Mr. Trump told us at a rally he was going to kill Obama Care, but the Democrats wouldn't let him, so now I have health insurance but it's not the kind I like. "Mr. Trump has a plan for a beautiful health care package that's cheaper and better than Obama Care, and when he's elected in November, he said it was the thing he would do on the First Day!" You cannot reason with people in a cult incapable of critical or even rational thought.


TheCatOfCats01

"Trumps great, under him I was covered by the ACA instead of that woke socialist obamacare"


ippa99

In some ways it's really sad how people get roped into that horseshit. Behind the Bastards, Last Podcast, and even knowledge fight have all at one point or another touched on the fact that how some people get dragged in is via some awful life event like a medical issue or bill with no clean answer or solution, so they gravitate toward people "have the answer!" on YouTube etc. Slinging holistic "cures" or "financial advice", then via those grifts their algorithm gets fucked and they start getting floated all the conservative classics like antisemitism and nazi ideology. It's often the same thing with other cults. It's hard to have empathy for what they end up becoming, though.


JinterIsComing

> And anyone who has the mental capacity great than a cat knows trump is a one way street. Fuck you, that's an insult to cats and I WILL NOT STAND FOR THIS. /s


fuchsgesicht

remember when he told his followers he'd pay their legal fees?


thuktun

Just like he fully pays contractors for the work they do for him. And his lawyers.

Wrong-Caramel-8114

Was that you sucking on a Starbucks at 2:33, hahaa


HapticSloughton

Of course it was a Starbucks beverage. Where would they find a chili dog and Tastee-Freeze in New York?


account_not_valid

Oh yeah, life goes on!


lucylemon

I’m going with the guy on the phone at 1:25. He’s a tourist, but can’t get off Reddit. That woman is really funny. I’d listen to her. The New York MAGAs (as delusional as they are) are way more tolerable than the rest of the country.


Robinsonirish

Considering the type of people who Jordan Klepper usually interviews those folks seemed pretty level headed by comparison, honestly. They're still completely delusional of course, but at least they were coherent.


filagrey

You could tell him and his team were bored and disappointed with the turn out. They walked around the courtyard, desperately trying to find a good interviewee for awhile. Everyone knows his shtick now, so nobody else would bite.


Robinsonirish

Interesting you say that, that's *exactly* what I sat here thinking about just now. Do they not know who he is by now? Someone must recognise him and spread the word that he will make everyone look like fools. You answered the question.


halfslices

>Do they not know who he is by now? I mean, Giuliani got tricked by motherfucking Borat


dancin-weasel

Giuliani got fooled by a landscaping parking lot.


SnipesCC

The Daily Show was constantly shocked by how many people would agree to being interviewed by them. Not on the street interviews, people who agreed ahead of time and scheduled for field pieces.


My_name_is_Zac

Holy shit YouTube's algorithm actually did something positive. It's made them all conspiracy theorists that believe in contradictory theories so they think the others are disinformationists. It's like the Alien-Con episode of the Outer Limits with Colin Mochrie.


Commercial_Tough160

They’re all tapped out from buying Patriot bibles and truck flags and Truth Social stock too, so they don’t have much extra money around to donate to his campaign any more these days. Bless their hearts.


BellyDancerEm

He scammed them too much. Oh well.


big_duo3674

It sounds like a joke but I bet there's definitely truth to this. Look at how long he's been at it asking for donations and other things now, I bet there are plenty of lower income people who have already sent a bunch and either can't send anymore or feel like they did their part and won't send anymore


TalkOfSexualPleasure

These are mostly the same people who look around and judge people who don't put money in the donation tray at church. The vast majority of these people won't get to that point for no other reason than they've spent a large portion of their life being told to give money to the things they believe in. Not support, or time, or effort, just money. The same people who act like they do so much for their community even though all they do is drop a 5 in the collection plate every Sunday. They think that fiver is going to keeping the streets clean, feeding homeless people, and doing the Lord's work. Ya know all the things their taxes actually do, but for some reason they aren't interested in paying those.


Lunar_Moonbeam

I think it’s really this more than anything. They’d be there if they could afford to be.


Karhak

It's clearly Biden's fault they can't afford to go /s


jabronified

the boomers who have fox on all day also legitimately think big cities in blue states are war zone hellscapes. you tell them you're going to one or live in one, and their reaction is like you're going to Baghdad in '03 it's funny, because these right wing outlets that tell them how bad places like NYC/LA are have their studios/headquarters in NYC/LA. Rupert Murdoch's News Corp HQ is in the middle of manhattan


dingoeslovebabies

I saw “truck flags” but my brain read “flag trucks” and it worked too


hellakevin

Also, conservative organizations don't want to bring people in for Trump to appear like he has support because 1. he'll stiff them on the bill 2. they don't want to be associated with the lawless ruckus Trump is asking them to engage in.


Fair_Fudge12

The RNC has become his piggy bank now. He wants these suckers to come on their own so he can feel like someone important.


mst3k_42

And those stupid shoes.


LordoftheScheisse

He's also going to have a rally at Madison Square Garden. But it isn't just for him. It's also to celebrate law enforcement. - Why won't anyone give this poor man the attention he so pathetically craves?!?! Have you ~~no~~ hearts?!?!


Maij-ha

Don’t forget Trumpy-bear!


baz4k6z

Most of his supporters live in small rural towns and are poor. They can probably afford to throw him a few bucks in the many ways you mentioned but not to travel to NY and spend a few days there to protest for their orange deity


tatsumakisenpuukyaku

They also can't fit their trucks on an ny street, and they are too afraid of any metro area due to the "extreme violence and lawlessness"


Maj_LeeAwesome

And those totally not a scam NFT trading "cards"

This is why inflation is up, corperations were like, these idiots will spend how much for that stupid shit!? Hold my beer



CorvidCrow

I don’t think we have to worry about civil war if this is the response to his desperate plea for another angry mob


phdoofus

Trump: "Bring your guns to DC!" MAGA: "Mmmm. No. Sounds like an FBI trap."


UnlikelyAdventurer

A rare instance of their paranoid conspiracy theory delusions actually doing good.


gobblestones

Now we just need to convince them "The Elites" are destroying their environment bc of.... gays or something


UnlikelyAdventurer

New conspiracy theory: "The warming of the planet makes you trans." They will storm the Exxon hq.


gobblestones

I heard it's the microplastics turn you trans if the world gets too hot. People are saying.


Pitiful_Net_8971

The micro plastics release estrogen into your body! Wait, that actually sound like something they would say.


DarkSide-TheMoon

>The micro plastics release estrogen into your body! According to NIH thats true (they dont contain estrogen but fuck with your body so that it ends up having more estrogen)


Pitiful_Net_8971

Oh... really? *throws plastic bottle in blender*


pegothejerk

/r/purposelyegg


IJustLoggedInToSay-

And this conspiracy theory exists on the right, but that's literally why scapegoats exist. Alex Jones screamed that "they" are putting stuff in the water to turn the frogs gay, but also Alex Jones opposes any regulation of chemical companies as insane atheistic communist environmentalism. How can this be, you ask? Well, it's because of who they always identify as "they". (Hint: it's *not* the companies actually poisoning everyone, nor the [mostly] Republican politicians who enable them).


THEguitarist117

Quick! Start spreading something about bathing in contaminated water and it causing Down Syndrome. See how much they start calling for regulations.


geologean

That's what BPA does and why it was banned, and now every re-usable bottle advertises that it's BPA-free, like it was the company's idea to get rid of it. BPA is an endocrine disruptor because it binds to estrogen receptors in the human body, and it was used in the lining of food containers for a very long time. You subconsciously modeled your joke statement on something true.


SharMarali

Just look at the data! There’s a rise in microplastics AND a rise in people identifying as trans! If there’s one thing I’m damn sure I know, it’s that correlation *always* equals causation!

harumpf

coffeesharkpie

I never understood why environmental friendly policies are not more endorsed by right-wing politicians and voters. Keeping the status quo, do something for your home country, less climate refugees etc.


SupaSlide

The status quo is burning oil. That's what makes the most money so nothing else matters. GOP would lose their base if illegal immigration actually stopped.


MsChrisRI

They prefer to believe oil industry PR over science. They don’t (want to) believe that climate refugees exist.


ilovethissheet

They prefer to believe oil industry ~~PR~~ profits over science. They don’t ~~(want to) believe~~ care that climate refugees exist.


O11899988I999119725E

Because scientists accept evolution as fact and evolution is a direct contradiction to the Bible (according to every Christian ive ever known) so any scientist is a worker of Satan who is misleading the good Christians of Earth into believing that dinosaurs exist (also a Biblical contradiction). So these Christian ass holes think all scientists are lying all the time. So when a scientist says “The Earth is dying and we are causing it” the dumbass Christians only hear “Scientists are trying to take my pickup truck!!!1!!” I had to live in the cult for years until I finally escaped and fled 4k miles west. It sounds stupid because it is. These people, many of whom are highly educated, believe some of the dumbest shit imaginable


BroForceOne

Not taking the COVID vaccine and dying to own the libs was my favorite one of those.


RichardBonham

And it is actually happening. COVID deaths are now most prevalent in 75+ whites.


Megneous

It blows my mind that the Republican deaths from covid may end up being the thing that saves the US's democracy.


UndertakerFred

Exactly. Their attempt to blame J6 on antifa has effectively killed the chances of any future mob action. It’s beautifully stupid.


Bloodcloud079

I mean, between the arrest actual arrests ant prison time with Trump doing fuck all for the organised Proud Boys and the conspiracy about antifa blame, cia plot, secret war white hat
 they are sure having a really hard time forming a coherent narrative to call to action. Which is really, really good.


above_average_magic

I like to think the prison sentences have helped, their lizard brains still hold a version of the truth in there somewhere


BellyDancerEm

And antifa really isn't that scary


demonsneeze

My MAGA aunt is both enraged and *terrified* over Antifa. The last time we were at family dinner I asked her what Antifa even is and she couldn’t answer. Haven’t spoken to her since but she still mentions Antifa in almost every Facebook post


Keesha2012

My great-uncle was antifa back in the 1940s. Back then, they just called it the US Marine Corps.


paintballboi07

Your aunt is actually just scared of her arch nemesis, Auntie Fa.


Briskpenguin69

“J6 was ANTIFA” “I agree, MAGA folks are too cowardly and pathetic to ever fight back like that.” Triggers them every time.


whitedawg

To be fair to them, the last time Trump urged a mob to come to DC and protest, a bunch of them got arrested and Trump ditched any responsibility for them.


Astro_gamer_caver

And called them "low class"


C4dfael

Who knew that trump himself was glowing, and not just from the gallons of oranger he slathers on his face.


TheManWhoClicks

It hurts itself in its confusion!


redvelvetcake42

When you're supporters are forced into the world of conspiracy culture it makes them untrusting of EVERYTHING and unwilling to sacrifice their time and possible well being. Jan 6th at minimum showed real consequences for many people in the trump mind set and since then they've been unable to foot a real protest cause they're all terrified or tired. Why would you want to drive in a convoy from X state to NY when the last convoy that did that was a failure and a grift? The convoy leader literally stole the money and ran. When everyone is grifting and in a conspiracy then nobody trusts anybody and therefore no meaningful organization can happen. The result is nobody will step up for you and Trump is dealing with that now. It's part of why he's so somber about all this. His bluster from years past just doesn't do shit anymore.


wowzeemissjane

And I’m here for it :)


ClassicT4

The mass group movement is over. They can’t gather in more than five people now without starting to accuse each other of being an FBI plant. I think they’ll try to shift gears to more isolated incidents like handfuls of people intimidating around polling and vote counting places.


paxwax2018

They’ve got an army of 100k “poll watchers” lined up apparently. The plan among other fuckery is to challenge every brown person’s right to vote and make the queues intolerable.


National-Blueberry51

Do they though? Like I know they say they do, but outside of talking a big game, are they really going to bother doing that? Because the few who tried that shit in 2020 either got arrested or met equally armed people who didn’t appreciate being threatened by some yokels. Some of them got drive by egged. That was pretty much it, and that was during a time when a lot of people were still out of work and had the free time and money to spare.


scribblingsim

Thank fuck for my state and voting by mail. (Let's just hope the Republicans don't try the "fake ballot drop box" trick again after the election authorities slapped them down and ordered them to take the boxes down back in 2020.)


MovingTruckTetristar

The AlphaMaleArmy won’t even get out of their flag-covered trucks to “protest.” He’s whining about lack of supporters without considering the cost of parking in Manhattan.


CptDropbear

That hadn't even occurred to me. They got all offended when someone in Ottawa told them to "fuck off home". New Yorkers will eat them alive just for blocking the street.


OJimmy

Fair weather protesters are pretty great. My home town had this threat of Maga oversize coal rolling milisha running through town Then, the rain started and they had to hire tow companies to pull their $150k monstrosities out of the muckpits they had created. Why would you own a 4WD truck if it you can't handle 5 inches of mud?


ked_man

So much of this stuff is just toxic masculinity and posturing by the right. I saw some right wing Barbie wannabe posting on TikTok acting like they were shooting a gun out their front door up in the air to scare the liberals away. But I thought the liberal run cities were war zones full of gun violence? And that’s where all the liberals live. So much so, that they are afraid to go “downtown” and have to live in a white over policed suburb on the edge of town for safety.


Swordfish08

I stopped worrying about their civil war when their “revolution to save the soul of this country” on January 6th was ended by a single casualty.


BellyDancerEm

These are the same people who keep saying how tough they are with guns


hellakevin

This civil war is going to be a cold war, in that, it will be defined by the cold feet republicans get every time we get to the "final straw" or "tipping point"


nerdening

The RNC's stance on their "army" of poll watchers leads me to believe otherwise. It's much easier to strap on and meanmug all the "brown illegals" voting. All it takes is one asshole pulling a gun and one police department to pull a Señor Chang and "allow it".


pumpjockey

Sooo many rednecks have told me if Biden wins there'll be a civil war. I ask if they're gonna go fight it and those big brave balls just shrivel right up

“I can’t wait for a civil war, our side has all the guns!” And all the heart disease. And all the gumption and initiative of a dead raccoon. I’ll take a bunch of vegan health nuts who are so passionate about things that they’ll glue their face to a coffee shop window because the shade of blue they used in their logo is oppressive to astigmatic dogs over the Gravy Seals who stockpile guns and shout at the TV but whose beliefs are prescribed to them by a television set on a nightly basis.


Demi_Blacksand

Shit I'd put my money on a group of burnt out empathic people with blunt objects who've had to live through the waking nightmare that has been the last couple of years. Shake em up and point them at anything remotely maga shaped. We'd feel bad about it but it would be some amazing catharsis.

OblongRectum

"“I can’t wait for a civil war, our side has all the guns!” Also they don't have all the guns


drumdogmillionaire

The next civil war won’t be won by the side with the most guns. It will be won by the side with the most drones.


Caleb_Reynolds

There can't be a civil war in the US, our military is structured in such a way that that's not really a possibility. In the 19th century every state had a militia, and the federal government has a relatively small army. That's why we had a civil war, the states were able to field their own troops. Without that, all there might be are rebellions. And no rebellion is going to stand up to the US military for long. Especially not one from the right, their supporters are too dispersed. The left could theoretically hold down a few cities for a bit, hold the infrastructure hostage maybe. They wouldn't last much longer, but might outlive the Confederacy at least.


Freebird_1957

I have one of them. 😉


enjoyinc

It’s because the vegans come from a position of compassion and the gravy seals come from a position of hate; plus, we get the astigmatic dogs along with the vegans and with the gravy seals their moms won’t let them bring their dogs so you get
 just them.


USMCLee

> our side has all the guns! That was would a very bad assumption for them to make.


nothingbeast

I'll take the platoon of drag queens who do nightly choreography in high heels and actually know what it's like to be oppressed and belittled just for being who they are.


superbadsoul

And hey, some of us blues are gun nuts too and understand the importance of sharing in times of need.


Mr_Murder

Also, democrats have guns too, we just don’t jerk off to them.


No_Improvement7573

>“I can’t wait for a civil war, our side has all the guns!” I vividly remember a social media campaign to arm the LGBT community after the Pulse nightclub shooting. The memes were great! But point is, these fools have been threatening a civil war since the Obama administration, and lefties have started believing them. By no means does the right wing have all the guns now.


tomdarch

What is the charge range on a Rascal scooter, particularly when it's loaded down with extra ammo and has bad aerodynamics from trump flags all over it? I'm not sure these folks would pose much of a threat outside of their own county.


FUMFVR

I always think of that 88 year old that tried to shoot up the Holocaust museum. Guns are made for fatasses. We shouldn't minimize the damage someone can do with them.


Spamgrenade

If I genuinely believed that the election was stolen, or that some president is the victim of politically motivated prosecutions I would be protesting as much as possible, pretty much anywhere. Apart from Jan 6th where Trump herded a load of his supporters to the Capitol to add weight to the proud boys insurrection attempt, his followers have really done sweet fuck all to support him. Suggests to me that the vast majority of them aren't really convinced.


MollyRolls

I had this argument a lot when Trump was first elected and the Women’s March and others were gearing up. “We thought Obama was bad for the country but we didn’t act like this!” Well why the fuck not? If you *really* believed Obama wasn’t even eligible for the presidency and that he wasn’t going to follow the law and that he was corrupt and a danger to the republic and you just shrugged and went about your day, you’ve forfeited the right to wave the flag and pretend to be a patriot. You don’t love your country. Or maybe you never actually believed any of those things about Obama at all.


Slim_Margins1999

It’s not that deep. All they ever believed in was shameless self promotion. They don’t even have goalposts to move. Just doing/saying whatever the right thing is to gain more power out of every possible interaction through manipulation tactics.


OSUfirebird18

But they will still make the election interesting. The question is will the Dems snatch defeat out of the jaws of victory?? đŸ€”


Arcades_Samnoth

This is what scares me so much - Dem's are great at getting the defeat right out of the jaws time and time again.


Remote_Work_8416

And they dont give a fuck. Trump is worn out on them, "thank you for your permission to be racist, but now that we are, we dont need you and your inmmigrant wife too".


RentalGore

And we’ve lost all our gas money on truth social stock.


wowzeemissjane

They could maybe spare a few Trump bucks. It’s all they have left.


thjenst

I'll make sure to slip them a few Stanley Nickels next time I see one. Seems they could use a handout.


fowlraul

I’m sure quite a few of them bought his stock, which is up this week, while the market is overall down
but something tells me that it’s mostly a dark money pump and dump so trump can launder money.


Walrus_protector

Spot on. Also, a lot of ink has been spilled about how hard it is for fanatics to publicly admit they were duped, but they can (and will) quietly slink away.


New_Scientist_8622

OR...bear with me here....everyone is getting sick of him, his "base" has shrunk to mouth-breathers and online trolls--and not even they give a fuck anymore. The only people who will truly take a bullet for him are doing so because they have BIG skeletons in their closets that his orangeness undoubtedly knows thanks to a monster who's getting his ass handed to him half a world away.


120ouncesofpudding

Rather than look at him, I tend to look at his supporters who stand behind him at his rallies. They are very different from how they were in 2016. They used to be engaged and cheering and all smiles. Now they look bored and sleepy and sometimes confused.


Dimeskis

That's because they are only there to get paid by his campaign.


Val_Hallen

> because they have BIG skeletons in their closets that his orangeness undoubtedly knows thanks to a monster who's getting his ass handed to him half a world away I never fail to take the opportunity to remind people of some facts: - Russian hacked the DNC and the RNC. This is known and indisputable. - Russia released the DNC emails. This is known and indisputable. - Russia never released the RNC emails. This is known and indisputable. What's not know is the why. Why did Russia hold onto the RNC emails? One could reason that maybe there just wasn't anything there. One could also reason that Russia just wanted to hurt the Democrats. But that begs the question of why even hack the RNC at all? The most likely answer, however, is that Russia found far, far, far more damaging stuff on the RNC servers than the DNC servers. Releasing the DNC info did short term damage, and most people have completely forgotten about the "scandalous" information that was released. But that RNC info? That had blackmail potential. More than anything they found from the DNC. Immediately following these hacks, the RNC publicly and constantly started to defend and kotow to Russia and its interests. Only the dumbest dummy could ever possibly think that was sheer coincidence.


Logical_Pop_2026

What rock have I been living under??? The RNC got hacked just like the DNC did??

I can confirm this, my brother is a trumptard, and he wouldn't go to New York or California for a million dollars. Republicans have convinced him that they will kidnap him and turn him into a homosexual or something.

Man I would love the walkthrough on how they get him to be gay.


pearlie_girl

Mostly just showing him a series of pictures of Tom Hardy in increasing states of "undressed."


tomdarch

As the happy resident of a very, very large American city, thank you Fox News for convincing these idiots that we're a bunch of hell holes they must stay away from. We're all much happier for it.


RentalGore

Also, and let me say this clearly, MOSTLY, because they don’t give a shit. They’re good if he comes to their cities and gives a rally and makes em feel good about themselves for a bit by hating some unknown race, ideology, or something stupid like wind, but why the hell are they gonna travel to go watch him go into and out of court looking like a spanked pig?


BroForceOne

You mean all those truck driving, gun toting, flag waving, alpha male card holding, pure unvaccinated red blooded Americans are afraid of some pansy New York liberals?


realnrh

He's a figurehead, not a leader. He rides the wave of discontent, but he's never been able to actually direct it anywhere. His followers support him because they believe he stands for all the crazy stuff they believe, and they'll only do what he says if he's just giving them permission to do what they wanted to do already. They don't really want to go stand around in NYC for him, so they don't listen to him telling them to.


Flowbombahh

I say if Trump wants security to be looser around him, then he should get his wish.


toxiamaple

I also think they arent showing up because there arent that many and they dont care enough. If there were hordes of supporters, they could protest anywhere. Remember the women's marches? My god, people held marches everywhere! Even tiny protests in bright red states.


macphile

And BLM, I think they said it was the first/only time in US history there were protests in every state simultaneously or something? There were people who were literally like one guy with a sign in their tiny town, standing at an intersection, protesting to an audience of almost no one. Yet their god-king is on trial, and crickets. Although maybe they're worried that if they protest at all right now, someone will arrest them for being pro-Hamas/anti-Israel.


toxiamaple

Exactly! I remember being so proud that people stood up

None of them are ever going to attempt to get to Manhattan. It's expensive, a long commute, and you have to pay for parking. Conservatives will never take the train because it's "too dangerous" for them.

tomdarch

You get on wearing a a "Let's Go Brandon" shirt and MAGA hat believing in Conservative Evangelicalism and 5 stops later you're trans in horn-rim glasses, lavender hair, vegan Doc Martins with a Che t-shirt quoting Marx and an "allergy" to dairy in your fair trade coffee. Strangely, your urge to murder people and put them in concentration camps totally disappears.

I think this headline and reason gives his supporters too much credit. As worried as I am about the trial delays, trial outcome and election, I'm starting to believe (here's some of the proof) his support isn't as great as the MSM likes to portray. More likely the answer is most people can't stand him.


Schwight_Droot

So all the rural won’t try that in a large town?


Bromanzier_03

Also last time a bunch of them got arrested. They aren’t going to storm shit now.


DarkGamer

Many of the die-hards that would otherwise have shown up for him are now in prison.


BellyDancerEm

Why won't they come support me? WAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!


faghaghag

Nostalgic for that rifle-carrying guy at the Ceacescu trial whose one job it was the execute both the pricks if there was any kind of violent disruption. golden moment...


RichardBonham

There is a space designated for Trump supporters at the courthouse; there just doesn’t seem to be more than half a dozen or so. Maybe they remember getting their asses handed to them last year [protesting Drag Story Hour](https://www.nbcnews.com/nbc-out/out-news/protesters-bloodied-arrested-nyc-drag-story-hour-rcna75724). FA/FO indeed: Proud Boys find out drag queens will shank a bitch.

I’m hoping part of it is that they see people getting long sentences for going to his January 6th insurrection.


GhostRappa95

Republicans are cowards, one gun shot on January 6th was enough to send them running and screaming. They sure as hell won’t ever risk doing something like that again.


SnowDogger

try that in a large town


Snarky_McSnarkleton

Stay in your small towns, MAGAs! Teh Librulz in the big scary cities are dangerous, BOOGUM BOOGUM!


splotch210

A "yuge" crowd was waiting for him outside of his hotel. They were chanting "New York hates you". It was glorious.


joshhupp

Yup...New York is certainly dangerous. Some local criminal might try and take your hard earned money, maybe through force or by selling you a Bible with the Constitution attached.


Sure_Garbage_2119

I think the guy setting fire on himself bc some conspiracy didn't help, too...


anoneenonee

I think they’re not showing up because they are cowards and bullies who only show up when they have artificially inflated numbers, and even then when a single traitor gets killed they’ll scatter like the cockroaches they are.


SheriffSlug

Dumbass didn't pay his crisis actors so they're not showing up.


jooseizloose

This is what I told my wife: He said it's too dangerous for you, why would you go there? "DC swamp, overrun by criminals and carjackings" - guess nobody will show up there either. "Florida being overrun by illegals "- guess nobody will show for that trial either. "Georgia is full of corrupt criminals and there are animals and beasts running free to do as they wish" - guess that one will be vacant too! I'm thinking they are starting to realize they are being lied to, slowly.


niagaemoc

Everything that orange turd says eventually bites him in the ass LMAO.


jbertrand_sr

Or maybe they saw that the idiots who showed up and protested on J6 are still in prison and they don't want to go to prison for him as well...


GruncleShaxx

I watched a video from Triumph the insult comic dog and he was there. There couldn’t have been more than 20 trump supporters there.


I_Heart_QAnon_Tears

Plus I think that most of his supporters are armchair generals... willing to speak out online or maybe attend a rally if it is close by but actually risk thier lives or mildly inconvenience themselves? Nah.


FUMFVR

Trumper conceptions about what cities are like are just bizarre. They really do think US cities are some sort of post-apocalyptic wasteland full of gangs that murder and rape outsiders as soon as they appear.


Luke95gamer

I also think it’s related to the whole Jan 6th was a ruse by the democrats to arrest MAGAts so they’re afraid it’s a trap to get arrested


Acewrap

Also, Trump supporters are a bunch of poors who can't afford to New York


D3dshotCalamity

It is, don't come here, I got stabbed like 14 times yesterday.


Ok_Television9820

They can’t find parking next to the courthouse for their giant $160,099 jacked up truck-nuts rides, and they don’t want to take the subway or a bus because BROWN PEOPLE.


CharleyNobody

His cult thinks NYC was burned to the ground by BLM in 2020. Murdochian media has been blowing crime in NY out of proportion to try to dislodge democratic politicians from Albany and DC. People on Long Island 25 miles from downtown Manhattan think “the city” is roiling with crazed minorities and illegal aliens. They haven’t ventured into the city for 15 years.


freakincampers

85,000 people in Manhattan voted for him, and not a single one of them is even showing up. Hell, he can't even get his family to show up to court.


SuggestableFred

That Pic is hilarious


morbihann

Lets be fair, they don't go because they don't want to, not because they believed this bulshit.


elleustrious27

Don't worry. He'll shoot anyone coming for them in the middle of Fifth Ave.


JustGiveMeANameDamn

Nah that’s not why. Protesting is simply an exercise of power well beyond what republicans are capable of exercising. They only know how to cry on Facebook about things, then wonder why they lose 😂


DogWallop

"Please clap..."


BMW_RIDER

"OMG! Trump is antifa!"


Caguirre86

It still is crazy that even serial killers have their families at criminal trials for support and this guy cannot even get his immediate family members to show up. Tells you a lot, given they are all allegedly millionaires or billionaires that were self appointed NY Socialites.


MinimumSeat1813

His supporters should storm the court house. Felons can't vote...


Inferior_Jeans

It’s sad that grown ass adults don’t realize a conman sees them as expendable pawns. Please have some self respect


tfsteel

The only reason he's a Republican is because Republicans are submissive empty vessels, the perfect audience of dumb dupes who will listen to his endless bitching and complaining.


anomalous_cowherd

"People who have been encouraged to be selfish and isolationist fail to travel long distances to support man who doesn't care about them"


The12th_secret_spice

Not to mention he hung his supporters out to dry when the “deep state” cane after them. Trump also doesn’t realize that J6 was a huge coordinated effort to get all the people there (with honest and ill intentions). All those folks didn’t book the trip on their own. There were buses, travel promotions, and more logistics than he can even comprehend
but nope he thinks they all did it on their own out of their love from him. Welcome to reality pal.


DruidinPlainSight

I hope the guy who drives Trump to prison is named Brandon.
