N nominee for president of the United States, what I've frequently been told is the most powerful nation of the world. Pretty much all the media portrays him as psychotic, and the people just keep hungering for more. My discomfort gross as I realize that all these people in the stands are genuinely excited . They are not in on our "haha isn't it funny that Donald Trump might be president?" joke. For them this is real, and suddenly I am scared.  What is it going to be like to actually see him in person, after all this time thinking of him as an abstract concept?

Trump Baby Hands, would you say that you have heard more racial/ethnic slurs or more gender-based slurs as part of this audience?

There are a lot of things in this area that are designed to make sure something like that doesn't happen. When we walked in a frat bro wanted to bring in his goddamn vuvuzela into the stadium. When secret service told him he'd have to grow it away he asked if he could just "toss it over the fence and get it later". It was interesting to watch the face of the secret service dude as he processed the dumbest thing that has ever been said to him.

No slurs at all, but definitely lots of sharing of stdh stories about argument against people who were the REAL racists. A person leans over an whispers conspiritorially to another, "There's a group of guys over there from Feseral Way. One of them is Hispanic. Totally for trump." The other nods in approval.

I can't confirm whether any of the shoddy mercy that was sold was sold in line was made in China, like my own personal Make Amwrica Grwat Again Hat that I bought for 10 dollars on amazon for this occasion

Political rallies I have been to: Barack Obama 2008, Barack Obama 2012, and Bernie rally. The way I felt before, during and after these events: mostly okay. How I felt before Donald Drump rally: this will be fun and funny How I feel now, about the sniper platform within 50 yards of me: not great. How I feel about the fact that I'm not going to take a picture of it and post it because so would most likely be thrown in jail: bad. Sad. The person behind me just yelled "I want that shirt, Hillary for prison!" You Can't Always Get What You Want is begins playing on the speakers. My phone's battery inches south of 13%.

By the way they made, if one thing emerges from this thread I want it to be this: they made us throw away our water when we came in and now we have to pay 3 dollars to get a tiny 8oz bottle from a "charity" water bottle stand TRUMP

I keep wavering on whether this is a carefully crafted playlists created by fallen psychologists Trump hired to communicate his messages, or if they just hook up an AUX chord to trump's ITunes and press play. Before Trump's stuff started up they played the first XX album from front-to-back. I want to know who was in charge of making that decision.

Everything they say about trump supporters is true. They are nice, blue cholar white, love the idea of a wall, angry. Excited to see trump in the flesh. Misnformed. They are Americans. I am in he bleachers of America. Woman behind me: "We're missing the Kountucky Derby. Don't worry, I recorded it."

Friends, you HAVE to go to one of these, there is nothing more unsettling then an omnipresent voice arising out of nowhere to tell you about how Mr. Trump supporters the first amendment equally as much as he supports the second amendment, but that some people have taken to crashing MR. TRUMP'S PRIVATE EVENT and to promote their OWN POLITICIAL AGENDA boooo, the crowd boooooos, and I boo with them because I do not want to die

I am that rear end in a top hat, the one who stays silent during the pledge. Not just "under God silent", but total stillness. Why in the gently caress would I pledge my allergies was to a piece of loving cloth? I just pledged allergens to that flag as hard as I've ver pledged for anything ever. I even nodded when I applauded after, as if satiated by this amazing opportunity to display my patriotism Peachstapler posted:You're probably in for a real show...

people are arguing about various conflicting reports as to the whereabouts of Mr. Trump. Is he in a car on the way? Is he still on the plane? Is te plane taxing? Is there a laptop on his lap? Is the tv on. Next to me, a man says to his friend, "Trump... Trump's like us. He's a redneck. I like him."

People are getting antsy since they're having to get updates from their family members at home watching TV. It'll be interesting to see how long the locality lasts in his tardiness, who gets blamed.

Private venues don't have the most consistent legal standards. So at a "private event" it seems like you'd be in the clear for letting whoever you want in, or kicking whoever you don't want out, for any reason at all. You could certainly argue about what constitutes a "private event" though.
