If 25% are dems, it makes sense. They are like immigrants who don't understand out culture and live by their shit-hole culture. Some of them eventually convert.

It's dangerous to have a lot of foreign people into your culture rapidly.

As I say, "Don't mess with the culture!"

They need to learn what Trump people are like and how we behave.

The campaign needs to have dump trucks on site and people can either toss their stuff or put it in pages to be collected later.

This is an excellent idea.

Along with that, maybe enlist some charities to do clean up after the event and also perhaps tag items and give matching number tickets so people can go to some designated spot later and claim them.

Donation boxes could be set up in the venue and people asked to donate to the groups who will be cleaning up after them.

I get why for security reasons that security might not want them many dumpsters and garbage cans around while so many people are round, but they may allow screened groups of people into the area vacated by those in the convention center to start the clean up.

I love how they trash Trump folks, but don't grasp that many of these folks were New Jersey people.

Sorry, but I'm not in control of them. 26% of them were demoncRats. Another 10%, perhaps more, were not registered to vote.

I don't approve of leaving a mess. Now, did the facility provide enough trash receptacles for people to put their stuff in the trash? When I see stuff in piles on the ground, it makes me wonder if they did.

Been to a rally? When the Line starts moving you have to abandon all the stuff you have because word spreads through the crowd and everybody realizes they can’t bring anything inside. It gets stacked in piles, not strewn everywhere.

Not typical conservatives. Maybe littering is an east coast thing?

That looks much more like the aftermath of a typical lefty event. Conservatives almost always clean up after themselves.
Then again, they were in a predicament not being able to bring the chairs inside. As for the trash, no excuse for that. Bet most who left that mess were recent democrats.

All the fat asses just have-ta have their snacks and bottled wooders...

Seriously. You can't go a few hours without eating? And for those of you camping overnight. WHY?

Let’s not be so quick to condemn. Even Snopes is saying the photos are misleading.

As others here have pointed out, the people were told they had to leave their chairs and things, and Secret Service limited the number of trash cans. After the rally, the people were not allowed to retrieve their things.

Here’s the place nice and clean again:

By the way, in that NJ county, the majority of voters are Republican.

In Cinci, they had a few plastic trash cans around, but not many. It was a really hot day, and they soon overflowed with empty water bottles.

Big security risk, I am sure.

Looks like a wal mart parking lot.

Excellent post! Agreed!

Thank goodness there are a handful of FReepers here who not immediately "play the blame game" with the proud patriots from that Wildwood area who attended the President Trump rally.

Good grief. Those folks were outside, on an exposed asphalt lot, in the cold, facing an icy ocean wind, and they had to carry EVERYTHING they would need while camping overnight in line.

These are good men and women who probably own quality camp chairs, tents, blankets, coolers, and other outdoor gear. My bet is the vast majority left their best equipment at home knowing that security measures would compel them to leave this cheaper "backup" stuff behind.

That is one little thing I admire about the Libs. They reliably have each other's back no matter what. We reflexively call people names.
Libs read these threads as well. A bit of understanding the whole situation and maintaining a bit of solidarity will help President Trump be reelected.

The rallies my wife and I went to have been super clean.

Maybe it was from the Democrats attending?

I have been to a rally and we couldn’t even bring in a bottle of water we bought while waiting on line.

The venues need to step up on providing trash cans and/or dumpsters. Maybe a charity, like the Salvation Army, could bring a truck to the site and collect the tents, chairs and blankets that had to be abandoned.

Do you think we’re all Democrats here in Jersey?

The promoters might have thought to put a few thirty yard dumpsters in the area.

It was not like this after the rally in Mesa last time... When we came out all the chairs and large items were sitting out in front of the doors and there was tables full of everything they confiscated at the door... 3 or 4 tables that were full of lighters!
