Wow! From focal lengths to aging rock bands. Anything at all to do with anything but the fact that tens of thousands of voters showed up for a Trump rally in a deep blue state.

Are you sure?
yup - I am 100% sure this thread has absolutely nothing to do with aging rock stars and how many people go to listen to them scream into a microphone.

You can find the actual topic of the thread in the OP - it is there plain as day.

It's a thread about a crowd of ~10,000 people +/- 5,000 or so based on the visual evidence in an area that is strong with the GOP. When there are ridiculous claims of 50,000 or more people there, the nature of that "evidence" needs to be evaluated.

Hmm.. another vast right wing conspiracy.

Haters say it is less than 5,000 - City claims 80,000 people can in for the event - so the truth is somewhere in between. It is still hundreds of times larger than his political opponent can muster even in a state that supports him.

Hate has nothing to do with it. I thought the "consensus" here was about 10,000.
City claims 80,000 people can in for the event
what? I can't make sense of this sentence.

Why dd you make the "hundreds of times larger" claim, even for the largest number you state (80,000) hundreds of times less means you are claiming Biden can't even get 400 people to show up? (less than 200 is not "hundreds", 80000/200 = 400) and there was a recent Biden campaign event shown in this thread with 2000 in attendance.

Political rallies for Biden people are not what they are for Trump people. Biden people are supporting a politician as a means to an end. A huge number of people seem to make being a Trump supporter a big part of their identity, so going to where he is becomes like a religious pilgrimage.

It reminds me of the joke people make about runners… How do find out if somebody is a runner? You don’t have to; they’ll mention it themselves. Same with Trump people.

Yes. That's a cult of personality thing.

Trump is a celebrity and has an attitude and flair that attracts a certain kind of person.

I sincerely hope no Democrat candidate ever gets huge pulls like that. Even if Jon Stewart himself got the nomination and I would be beside myself, i would really hope he wouldn't get those draws.


It feels too much like a celebrity thing and less like a quality of ideas thing.

I think that's also said of vegans

Yeah, about that estimate by the town… He was counting all people who came to town that day, not people who were at Trump’s rally. They also said the turnout was well below a normal summer day there and only “slightly more” than the crowd would have been anyway for that day, that the venue was well “under capacity,” and most of the attendees were from outside New Jersey (specifically PA).
