Could we get a red circle around the diversity? I can't seem to find it anywhere.

[–] [email protected] 51 points 4 weeks ago (2 children)

I can see all the diversity in there: Person, Man, Woman, Camera, TV!

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 weeks ago

hey wait a minute... it sounds like you're just naming things you see around!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 weeks ago

Wow, you should be president!

[–] akincisor 36 points 4 weeks ago

For the blind:

  • there's people of both genders
  • there's people in MAGA hats and those without (showing broad bipartisan support)
  • there's old people and "one foot in the grave" people
  • there's thin, fat and morbidly obese people
  • there's even people without hats
  • there's people who are paid to be there and those who are there of their own free will - no AI here!

I swear you people won't believe what's in front of your eyes if it doesn't match your damn Commie agenda!

/s because even I can't tell anymore

There's red hats, white hats, blue hats. A few tan ones.. Wait, did you mean diversity of people? I can count about six women in the picture!

[–] [email protected] 15 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

I saw the diversity, there's: young white guy, old white guy, young white woman, old white woman, person wearing a hat, person not wearing a hat, man with a beard, and man with not beard.

That's diverse by Republican standards.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 weeks ago

Not beard haha

[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

There’s a post menopausal woman behind the guy in blue shirt. That’s counts for diversity

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

post menopausal woman

"Postmenopausal female" if you're looking for the exact quote

I think I see a black woman on the stage in the background. She's definitely not with all those media personnel right around her

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Diverse in ages all the way from middle age to elderly, some have bears and others are clean shaven, and some people are taller or shorter than other people.

You know, D I V E R S I T Y.

[–] erusuoyera 2 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

some have bears

I imagine it's a typo but, given the spikes in Grindr use around MAGA events, it probably still works.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 weeks ago

In addition to the bears, some have beards!

[–] [email protected] 34 points 4 weeks ago

JD, when the Secret Service won't allow your daddy to do open-air venues any longer, but you still can, it's probably a sign.

A glimpse into the crowd of over 40,000 that attended

[–] [email protected] 16 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

400,000. 40,000,000. Why stop at ridiculous? Go to ludicrous! 4 billion people! You can see it in the photo, half of the human race!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 weeks ago

Tremendous rally

[–] [email protected] 14 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Looks like more reporters than people.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 weeks ago (2 children)

Reporters are people, friend.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago) (1 children)

Ehhhhhh

(Just kidding of course, good reporters are invaluable)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 weeks ago

because to value you them you gotta be able to find them first

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 weeks ago

Binders full of reporters.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 weeks ago

Oh wait I see the diversity now. You got yer cowboy hats, baseball caps, no hats, ladies hats, straw hats, that fat lady with the sunglasses on top of her head...

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 weeks ago (2 children)

I’m sure it was a low turnout, but it doesn’t look like it started yet

[–] [email protected] 18 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

News reports confirm the images

"If I'm being generous, that looks like 10 rows of 10 seats across on each side," reported a tech correspondent Chris O'Brien. "So about a total of 200 people potentially?"

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 weeks ago

AI will fill in the rest.

Trump says the democrats are doing it, so I'm sure some weirdo mutant on xitter will fill in the rows.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Seriously… it’s kinda fun to dunk on the low numbers and all, but arguing about crowd sizes is kinda dumb. Trump and his tiny hands can blather on about it all he wants, but we should leave it to the weirdos to complain.

The facts are that there were at least a couple hundred people there. It’s a small crowd but it’s easily handled waived away and really a distraction for those of us on the side of reason and decorum to try to distort the truth away from JDs love of couches.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 weeks ago

It's more important than that. Trump is laying the ground work to try to steal the election in Nov by saying that he has once again been cheated by the electoral system. That's why it's so important to him to pretend that his crowd sizes are enormous.

We have a civic duty to rub their noses into their tiny crowds that don't represent real America, to make sure it's clear to all that the MAGA movement is a minority of the weirdos, and by no means deserves nor is expected to win in November. After the election, when Trump tries to pretend he commands the majority and he should be crowned king, the entire country needs to be ready to laugh it off and hold the line of democracy.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 weeks ago

I could be wrong, but I think Diversity was an old, old wooden ship.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 weeks ago

So many young people... This cult has a future!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 weeks ago

Looks like he found the 3%ers. The 3% without jobs.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 weeks ago

That crusty coterie checks all the boxes you'd expect.
