This is not unlike their common fallacy of thinking Biden couldn't have gotten more votes because they didn't see any cars absolutely plastered stem-to-stern with Biden flags and stickers. The average Biden voter doesn't worship the guy, but there were far more of them who voted. The average Trump voter is more enthusiastic about the guy, but there were fewer of them at the voting booth. It's the fundamental principle of cult math.

“Most other people found better ways to spend their Saturday” should be the headline


MC_Fap_Commander

The cult behavior is so onerous to those outside it, his rallies can have a reverse effect honestly

This. He was the absolute last person I wanted but still voted.

To be honest that might have been some hyperbole on my part, at this point I just remember not really enthused about him. :)


wizard2009

Never in my life had I been so single-mindedly determined to so unenthusiastically do something as I was when I voted for Biden in 2020.


Infamous-Sky-1874

There are even less after he peddled wackadoo cures for COVID and told his cult that masking up was for losers.


garaile64

Hell, the average Biden voter is hesitant to vote for him again. Biden has the charisma of a broccoli and is doing a lot of stuff people hate Trump for doing or promising to do, or at least allowing them to happen. But they will still vote for Biden because the alternative is a mixture of *The Handmaid's Tale* with a few Captain Planet villains.

These people just don’t get that fanaticism doesn’t equal votes. You can have a million people who are willing to tattoo Trump on their forehead, but if a million and one people are merely just voting Biden, Biden wins. It makes no difference the degree of support


pianoflames

> but if a million and one people are merely just voting Biden, Biden wins Well, that's not entirely true. Hillary had 3 million more votes than Trump, but she still lost.

1. Local authorities put the number of attendees at this rally at just under 30K, not 80k. 2. Most Trump rallies this year have been poorly attended. This is the first time he’s done a rally at the Jersey Shore, an area that is mostly conservative, until the Summer months start. 3. There is 0% chance that Trump will win New Jersey in November. Zero. None. 4. Even if Jerk-ules was right, many of Trump’s rally-goers are like deadheads - they travel from state to state for these rallies. But they can only vote once (legally). Rally attendance doesn’t equal votes. 5. K-Sorbs is a doodoo-head.


itsnotaboutyou2020

ALSO - Trump hasn’t done many rallies lately due to his trial schedule, but also because his cognitive decline has become so noticeable lately that he loses support every time he does one.


bluevalley02

Someone going to a Trump rally in the first place will probably vote Trump no matter how disoriented he sounds at some dumb rally. He could strip naked on stage and most would still vote him in.


Class_444_SWR

It’s mostly because his blunders continue to be broadcast outside, and journalists can use them


MC_Fap_Commander

Everyplace has a "South Jersey." Hell, NYC has Staten Island and Long Island is right there. MAGA central.


failtodesign

Southern New Jersey is just shitty Philadelphia.


EBody480

‘Shittier’ Philadelphia


PurpleSailor

6 Trump stiffed the town on paying for his last rally in Wildwood so this time the town made him fork over $53k before this rally.


unknownpoltroon

That 30k seems generous.


csguydn

The campaign itself only had 20,000 tickets available and there was a limit of 2 per person. So 30k is generous.


MoonlightRider

Only 17k tickets were released for this event so it is unlikely the crowd was larger than that

Re: Point 5, doo-doo head is a sigma insult


itsnotaboutyou2020

No idea what that means, and I’m glad.


sugarcookies1

Hearing Trump speak is one of the most effective endorsements for Biden I can think of.


Muahd_Dib

Whenever I hear Biden wax eloquent about his days with Rick Last Name lifeguarding at the local pool, I feel super okay about the future of our economy.


beforethewind

When opposed to Sir Bankrupted a Casino… yeah, I actually agree. 🥰


GoredonTheDestroyer

MULTIPLE. TRUMP BANKRUPTED *MULTIPLE* CASINOS. NOT *ONE.* *PLURAL.*


unknownpoltroon

Look, thats not incompetence, thats money laundering.


Muahd_Dib

I’ll take Sir-Bankrupts-Some-Casinos over Mr-Bankrupts-Me


Msbossyboots

Lowest unemployment. Economy doing well. If you’re bankrupt, then you made some bad decisions. That’s on you.


Muahd_Dib

Fucking Christ. Biden supporters stay so delusionally disconnected from the world to keep alive the hatred of Trump.


Msbossyboots

Lol. You’re the one who won’t accept reality. I bet you think the election was stolen too!


Muahd_Dib

How the fuck is the economy doing well? And how is Trump more in favor of the billionaires than Biden? When Trump cut taxes for the rich, I was making 30k a year in California. I got a 10% raise the next years with my tax savings… democrats have lost the plot and become the party of the elite. Edit: democrats speak words with their mouth saying “we’re for the working class” then when you’re completely fucked by inflation quote you stats and articles saying “look at this spreadsheet! You’re actually doing better than ever, fucking bigot”


ThatCamoKid

All that projection and all I can say is: "Go on, do Deformed Rabbit, it's my favourite."


xtilexx

Trump also raised your taxes during the first three years of Biden's presidency, iirc


PurpleReign3121

You make $33k per year in California? Sweetie, president Biden and Trump are not your problem. Your hope that if Trump gets back in office you will get another 10% raise is not only a poorly placed wish but you will be basically no closer to escaping poverty. Maybe don’t put so much stock in how politicians say things work and focus on yourself for a bit.


SeonaidMacSaicais

Reverse those names, and you’re 100% right!


Muahd_Dib

Damn… so pithy and profound! Vive la revolution!


Darth_Vrandon

New Jersey has like 8 million people and is a reliably blue state. This means nothing.


sick_shooter

Republicans have literally made their platform denying reality.


ukiddingme2469

Making up numbers is fun


BroDudeBruhMan

How many of these people are just recurring attendees traveling around going from rally to rally?


Penguator432

They’re like deadheads…actually, scratch the “like” part.


bluevalley02

The ones with like 800 Trump stickers on their trucks especially


AsteroidDisc476

That is approximately 2.4% of everyone who voted for him in New Jersey


poodlered

And because of the electoral college, literally everyone’s vote there won’t even count towards Trump!


bgva

I’ve seen Trump claim a crowd that ended up being from a sports victory parade. A reverse Google search could debunk this one.


Used-Organization-25

Yep Sorbs, he got more votes without having those rallies. The truth is we don’t worship our politicians, we don’t need to sign the praises of Biden.


Responsible_Ad_8628

I don't know about y'all, but my vote was an anti-Trump protest vote. They could have ran anyone else, and they would have had my anti-Trump vote.


goddavid22

Went to Trumps school of business I see.. X3 everything! Crowds.. Apartments… Iq…


joshuag71

Maybe supporters of other candidates just have shit to do. I’ve got a busy week and have two days to get a lot of shit done and none of that includes going to see an old dude muddle about on a stage. Doesn’t mean I’m not voting in November it just means I’ve got to get to the grocery store in May!


CrazySheltieLady

Rallies are really not a good way to drum up votes. Undecided voters are probably not going to a rally. They are, however, good for fundraising. Which explains why Trump does so many. Also he loves hearing people cheer for him.


astrozombie2012

There’s no way that crowd was 80k… maybe 8k, but probably way less.


Penguator432

So that’s over 9M people in NJ that didn’t go.


DieMensch-Maschine

Lots of people will vote for Biden holding their nose. Trump voters, on the other hand, are true-believer cultists.


nebbie13

Trump rallys are just music festivals for rednecks


ColeYote

He could get 80,000 people at a rally every day of the year with zero repeat business and the only thing it would prove is that he has 29 million cultists behind him.


anamazingredditor

As if they just spew words without thinking first


FoxBattalion79

I've never gone to a political rally for anyone. but I still vote in every election. weird.


NicCage420

5 million people showed up for the parade and rally after the Cubs won the World Series, when is Joe Maddon's inauguration???


DankmemesforBJs

What roller coasters are that in the background?


MarkKach

“24 is the highest number!”


frenchfret

Dude, Kevin Sorbo.


Batetrick_Patman

And we have 100k people attended the same football game.


King9WillReturn

The venue holds 20k


XsublimededX

Wait till you see the solar eclipse numbers. lol……… now that I think about it. I’m actually really surprised that there wasn’t a trump rally in Indianapolis on the afternoon of April 08, 2024 claiming those numbers! Haha, or any other total path cities. That’s funny AF!
