Why -- WHY -- would anyone provide a venue to tfg ?

He's left unpaid bills in his wake at these "rallies", and the optics are terrible -- fascist brownshirt mobilization meets Qanon worship service. Are they really that hard up to find worthy and profitable events ? Will there finally be no place that's sufficiently red for tfg to find a host venue ? When will city gov'ts start saying "not in our town" ?

There's no shortage of Shitheads in this country, more than willing to give him a platform.

TFG's "campaign" contacts republicans in the state where they want the venue. Senators, congressional representatives, state office holders, county officials, even mayors. And they TELL them to prepare for TFG. They're having a rally and that's that. Because nobody is going to tell TFG "no".

they were going to erect to honor him -- when they had no such plans, but realized they'd better make them, fast !

Maybe it was Lenin. Either way, tfg learned at the feet or Russian dictators.
