I Listened to Trump's Rambling, Unhinged, Vituperative Georgia Rally--And So Should You
I know this article was in General Discussion, but topics move so fast in there, I thought it might be good to have it here also. As I said there, I cannot listen to this criminal, but I am glad that someone is making the effort to do it and report on them. Hard to keep up with all of them though. "Know your enemy."
Whether or not it’s news in the conventional sense, it’s easiest to understand the threat that Trump poses to American democracy most clearly when you see it for yourself. Watch his speeches. Don't look away.

I’m sure you had better things to do on Saturday evening than watch Donald Trump rant for nearly two hours to an audience of cheering fans in Rome, Georgia. His speech was rambling, unhinged, vituperative, and oh-so-revealing. In his first rally since effectively clinching the Republican Presidential nomination, Trump made what amounted to his response to Joe Biden’s State of the Union address. It’s hard to imagine a better or more pointed contrast with the vision that, two days earlier, the President had laid out for America.
And yet, like so much about Trump’s 2024 campaign, this insane oration was largely overlooked and under-covered, the flood of lies and B.S. seen as old news from a candidate whose greatest political success has been to acclimate a large swath of the population to his ever more dangerous alternate reality. No wonder Biden, trapped in a real world of real problems that defy easy solutions, is struggling to defeat him.
This is partly a category error. Though we persist in treating the 2024 election as a race between an incumbent and a challenger, it is not that so much as a contest between two incumbents: Biden, the actual President, and Trump, the forever-President of Red America’s fever dreams. But Trump, while he presents himself as the country’s rightful leader, gets nothing like the intense scrutiny for his speeches that is now focussed on the current occupant of the Oval Office. The norms and traditions that Trump is intent on smashing are, once again, benefitting him.

... and quit trying to shove this narrative down our throats.
Chump is so deranged that he can't even speak in complete sentences. Nothing he says ever makes sense. THAT's the reason why intelligent people refuse to listen to him. People who go to his rallies come away with no idea what Chump really said. They hear what they want to hear. They hear what Faux Noise tells them to believe.
Articles like this that try to "explain" what Chump really said just make me angry. Chump won't go away until we ALL ignore him and turn our backs. Do not listen to him, do not give him money. And for Pete's sake DO NOT VOTE for him.
That is all.
