The article lost me at “[Trump’s] no-nonsense New Jersey crowd at a rally”.
Am I supposed to assume that the folks showing up at a Trump rally are no-nonsense? I beg your forgiveness, but I’m struggling with that one. Maybe I’m misunderstanding.
As for “draws yawns” and “raises eyebrows”, cool stuff if some of these folks are feeling fatigue from the hate machine or are newly perplexed by their political leader. Better late than never, I suppose.
Frankly a no-nonsense crowd implies existence of a nonsense crowd for Trump and frankly I miss the fun crazy. The genocidal crazy is getting to be too much these days.
The “fun crazy” was just a distraction while he raped the nation and the planet. The one place you won’t see the scam is where the street hustler tells you to look.
Brian Regan “ Nonsense Judge”
Yeah, instead of no-nonsense they could’ve write “sense”…
At first I thought it read “praising cannabis” and I was like, wait that doesn’t make sense, better re-read it … then it made even less sense…what the heck is going on? We have puppy killers and cannibal praisers who believe they should be leading the US, and the worst part is that people vote for them, a lot of people.
If you’ve ever listened to Trump speak for even a minute and you think “yep, that’s my guy”, you’re totally lost already. And those people will still vote for him no matter how unhinged he or how obvious his dementia becomes.
That’s what I don’t understand. Don’t like Biden? I get that. Undying loyalty to Trump? What? Why? Just listen to him speak. He’s an incoherent idiot.
He’s an incoherent idiot.
so, he’s someone most of his followers can directly relate themselves to
This is a quote from the rally. It is very unclear the intent of this paragraph, nonetheless it is talking about cannibals.
Silence of the Lambs. Has anyone ever seen The Silence of the Lambs? The late, great Hannibal Lecter is a wonderful man. He often times would have a friend for dinner. Remember the last scene? ‘Excuse me. I’m about to have a friend for dinner,’ as this poor doctor walked by. ‘I’m about to have a friend for dinner.’ But Hannibal Lecter. Congratulations. The late, great Hannibal Lecter. We have people who are being released into our country that we don’t want in our country, and they’re coming in totally unchecked, totally unvetted.
Why is it that the more detail you read about these things, the less sense it makes. What the hell is going on in that block of text? It’s like the literary equivalent of one of those magic eye puzzles where you feel like there must be something there but you just can’t make sense of it no matter how much you squint at it.
I remember back in 2015 people were saying that trump was saying that he would build a wall and Mexico would pay for it. I thought, “I wonder what he actually said that got chopped up and editorialized this way?”
Every day after that has been me realizing that if you dig any deeper on the stupid shit it just gets stupider. We will kill off the planet because one time trump bought a cheap led bulb that didn’t flatter his natural orange glow quite enough and now we can only have coal fired power plants. Every stupid thing he says has an even stupider story behind it which itself probably has an even stupider story behind that and on and on. It’s truly astounding
I personally prefer to just burn the coal right in my house. I like my light from the source. Not from this processed and sanitized thing that the kids are calling electrickery.
For people wondering about the cannibal thing, there is the full quote.

Is this an Onion article?
Nope that came out of his mouth at a rally.
When we said to “eat the rich” we didn’t actually expect Hannibal lecter to be involved.
A lot of comments are questioning Trumps appeal after listening to him talk, but I think I understand why he’s appealing to his base and I think that it’s the same reason many are finding Biden a repellant: people are mired in uncertainties about their futures, their families futures and that of things they thought were tried and true (work hard, get job, get house and raise family). People like how Trump sounds certain and sure and strong, even if some of them don’t like what he’s saying. They want someone certain and sure to lead them when they’re feeling uncertain. The counter to Trump is to use reassuring and strong language for similar themes (job security, inflation, climate, housing, migrants, health). Or at least I think so, I could be wrong.
I thought this said “cannabis”, and I was so confused lol
