Donald Trump consistently draws large and enthusiastic crowds to his rallies, but Kamala Harris was right."Scores of people leave early," reported the Washington Post, and while most rallygoers do stay to the end, enduring his rambling diatribes about past elections, his legal woes and various griev...

      Yeah it’s not the big “Gotcha!” people want it to be

      There’s always some funny little detail to learn though… It’s pretty funny Trump has poor sound quality

      I would change the link now, but for some reason every time I try to link to the Washington post, it fails to post properly on lemmy. It’s extremely consistent and seems to be limited to juet the Washington post. Unsure why it happens

      You thought that was the point?

      Wow, that’s really…idk, sad?

      The point is the cult of personality trump had used to be able to overcome all of these things. These people aren’t leaving because they have to they’re leaving because they’re not as invested as they used to be.

      All of these reasons given here are excuses and nothing more. None of these people actually needed to leave but when pressed they didn’t want to say trump was boring or they were getting tired.

      These are the same people who will say “I’m not into politics” whenever they’re pressed on Trump’s shitty behavior.

      No they won’t vote Kamala.

      In fact they probably won’t vote at all. Trump lost 2020 before this started happening. If his voters are getting more apathetic they’re much less likely to vote especially in the face of kamala’s massive momentum and purse.

    Seems kinda weird that a major party candidate can’t hold the attention of his most loyal supporters this close to the election.

    They want to like him, at least the persona they hear about. Then they’re faced with the ugly reality… and must quickly retreat back to their bunker before any doubts creep in.

    Yeah Trump not only tests his supporters’ loyalty but also their schedules. There are only a handful of things I would line up for hours in advance, and then still to wait another several hours sounds like an ordeal more than anything.
