Like a Phish concert but with more grievance, this is what it's like at a Trump rally

And this is one way to understand what makes Trump such a singular phenomenon. His fans aren't just out to hear a political message; they're participating in a fandom — a political version of Deadheads or Parrotheads.

Then again, there's a combativeness at a Trump concert that doesn't exist at a Phish concert — or at a Biden event, for that matter.

One man nearby sold t-shirts printed with vulgar, sexually explicit statements about Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and Nancy Pelosi. Among Johnson's tamer shirts was one that read, "If you don't like Trump, then you probably won't like me, and I'm OK with that."

Another read "FJB," where the JB stands for Joe Biden and the F is an expletive.

Oh, Danielle the writer, is clutching her Pelosi pearls, over these Trump supporters.

This article oozes disdain, and American taxpayers pay for it.

Meanwhile the Biden rallies look like a dementia care lobby visiting hour.

All the female script readers on NPR sound like they’re on Prozac.

What's a Biden Event?

Is that when he stumbles down a short flight of stairs and soils his pants?

Listen up toots. There isn’t a person on the planet that needs FJB explained to them.

What nonsense…more demonization. Trump tallies are festive and very friendly, normal folks proudly showing patriotism and goodness.

They probably are on prozac, or similar.

The male talking heads all sound like poofters.

The fact that their people protested Trump’s first victory while wearing hats designed to look like female genitalia removes their right to “moral outrage.”

Oh, really? The rats burn you alive if you disagree with them but there is no “ combativeness”. The deluded bubble these people live in is amazing

She?

You sure about that?

And that grin looks like a Pixar animated bug.

She went right up to the edge of comparing Trump rallies to Hitler rallies, and then stepped back — just a little.

Biden/Phish fans are so doped up they can't even talk, they sleep.

These idiots who think it is a Trump Cult and not about stopping the communist/globalist/marxist/totalitarian project and preserving the America we all love and cherish don’t get it. And never will. They just throw childish insults and throw liberal hissy fits without trying to understand what’s going on or why.
