“Oh, I think you guys are at the wrong rally. You meant to go to the smaller one down the street.”

Not clickbait, when MAGA supporters get hit with reality this hard they literally disperse into a puff of smoke

When the commotion started, Harris smiled at the disrupters and said, “Oh, you guys are at the wrong rally.”

As the crowd roared, Harris readied the punchline:

“I think you meant to go to the smaller one down the street.”

Ouch.

The crowd erupted again as Harris laughed and waved the protesters goodbye.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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).

It’s gigantic difference.

They probably showed up expecting a “weak” and “stupid”/“low IQ” Harris fumbling over mindlessly reading the teleprompter to a handful of mentally unwell AI-generated rabid leftists and drag queens and instead got their ass handed to them

I know there was some dingdong on here last week sure her campaign was going to blow up this week and her numbers were going to tank. I’m giving it another week or two before responding again just to drive home how big of a dingdong they really are.

And because she had a quick response for them other MAGA are going to claim they were plants and not real MAGA.
Love when they go to “prove” something only to get disowned by their own in-group.
