They probably showed up expecting a "weak" and "stupid"/"low IQ" Harris fumbling over mindlessly reading the teleprompter to a handful of mentally unwell AI-generated rabid leftists and drag queens and instead got their ass handed to them

I know there was some dingdong on here last week sure her campaign was going to blow up this week and her numbers were going to tank. I'm giving it another week or two before responding again just to drive home how big of a dingdong they really are.

"Oh, I think you guys are at the wrong rally. You meant to go to the smaller one down the street."

Expert level burn.

Thanks for the anti-clickbait.

Not clickbait, when MAGA supporters get hit with reality this hard they literally disperse into a puff of smoke

I mean the "one liner" could at least have been put in the OP.

I AM SO FUCKING HERE FOR THE SASSY MOM COMEBACKS IN THE WHITEHOUSE

That’s actually pretty good. She didn’t even need to say how great her rally was or how it was the best rally or how no one does a masterlock confefe like she does

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 hours ago

She also didn't say they need to get knocked out.

I don't really get going to political rallies at all, but what kind of losers with nothing better to do go to a political rally of your opponent.

[–] [email protected] 113 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

It's an attempt to intimidate or even start a fight. You know, like brownshirts.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 38 minutes ago (1 children)

I would have loved to see them fucking try. This isn't 1939

[–] [email protected] 3 points 32 minutes ago

Ehhh, I don't know about that assessment

[–] [email protected] 14 points 7 hours ago

So… do you think the brown comes from Dear Leader’s diaper?

I went to a Bernie rally. Only time I’ve wanted to go to a rally before or since.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 8 hours ago

Same. He was amazing in Washington Sq Park in 2016

I actually love the fact that stadiums full of people go to political rallies and get jazzed about policy speeches. It's strange, right? But I'm glad it's something we get collectively psyched about. In a democracy, it (usually) feels healthy.

I went to a Bernie Sanders rally, it was 🔥

I’d be down for people going to Trump rallies to harass and abuse him.

When the commotion started, Harris smiled at the disrupters and said, “Oh, you guys are at the wrong rally.”

As the crowd roared, Harris readied the punchline:

“I think you meant to go to the smaller one down the street.”

Ouch.

The crowd erupted again as Harris laughed and waved the protesters goodbye.
