History Repeats Itself Dems Can’t Outdraw Trump in a +60 Biden City of 8 Million

Back in 2016 I covered a Trump Rally at the DCU center in Worcester Ma a deep blue city which is not only the 2nd largest city in New England with 200,000 people but has 10 colleges the breeding ground for the left. The left had called for a massive showing of protesters. Well there was a massive showing…of Trump supporters. As for the counter protesters…

The voice you heard at the end was a protester saying “people had to work” in response to drawing 15 people.

I ended up at the press conference asking Donald Trump about it.

This is where Trump paid me the complement: “Nobody reports that but you do. That’s why I like you.” (A quote that I suspect put me on the shit list of a lot of people in the GOP, particularly here in MA but I digress.)

Fast forward 8 years..

Donald Trump schedules an event in the Bronx. Nationally known NY Dem AOC says he isn’t welcome. Various leftist groups say they are organizing a counter protest. Yet Hotair.com reports Trump draws 30,000 for an event where they were planning for 2500.

5:52 Here’s hoping Fox has it. The place looks packed – they’re saying 30,000 people already. 

Yahoo, no friend of Donald Trump admits 25K

Trump rallied a crowd of what his campaign estimated to be 25,000 supporters at Crotona Park in the Bronx on Thursday, far more than the initial 3,500 it said were expected to attend. Those numbers appeared to also include those lined up outside the event – who waited hours for a shot at getting inside even after the event began.

Now that’s a good number of people, but what about counter protesters?

As I said before in Worcester MA the 2nd biggest city in New England with a population of 200,000 drew a pathetic 15 protesters against Donald Trump in 2016 . New York City not only has a population of over 8 million, 40 times that of Worcester but Joe Biden won the city by over 60 points. Furthermore nationally known Democrats and large Democrat organizations called for people to protest.

So how many people did they manage to draw for a counter protest? Lets ask the Trump hating New York Daily News:

About 200 protesters rallied against him on Claremont Parkway, which cuts through Crotona Park, some holding a sign that read, “F–k Trump, F–k Biden, the people of the Bronx, we run this s–t.”

here is some video

Doesn’t look like 200 to me but for the sake of argument let’s go with the New York Daily News’ 200 number.

Now run that number through your head for a moment. In a city of 8 million a city 40 times the size of Worcester, after 8 full years of attacks on Trump with the NY DA going after him in court and the full might of the liberal media and governments working against him 24/7 they managed to draw only 200 to protest against supposedly the most hated president since LBJ at the end of his term.

Remember the number of protesters is Worcester in 2016 was a pathetic 15 people but that’s a city 40 times smaller than New York City and before the Trump Derangement was in full bloom. To match that Worcester number proportionately they would have needed to draw 600 people in a city of 8 MILLION.

They could only manage a third of that. To put it in perspective that’s as if they had drawn only 5 people to protest Trump in Worcester way back when.

Combine that with an attendance a minimum of 10 times larger then they had anticipated per yahoo and you get a very unhappy CNN:

The Daily Mail’s report on the rally is here.

If I was running the Trump Campaign I’d hold more rallies in deep blue areas. This would force local news to cover the events and get his message out to people who thanks to the censorship of national news never hear him. It’s the type of thing that will give Democrats fits.

Or as Phil Sheridan used to say: “Ride right through them, they’re demoralized as hell!”

Who are you Going to Believe, My Tweet or Your Own Eyes?

One of the things that tend to irritate me is when people say something so obviously contrary to reality and expect me to play along. These tweets are a great example.

Funny how corporations magically become greedy only when the left is in power isn’t it?

Or this bit of nonsense:

Yup Donald Trump slaughtered them all and put them all in a mass grave but on January 21st 2021 like John Cleese’s Character that was turned into a Newt they all got better.

I had a Lesbian co-worker years ago who was convinced that Donald Trump would put her in a concentration camp if he was elected and the lack of being put in the concentration camp during the Trump years never convinced her otherwise.

As you can see fame is not a cure for this inability to see reality

Bill Mahar tried that same thing with Megan Kelly, it didn’t go well.

And sometimes even the most intelligent celebs made really dumb moves to sell a meme:

Seriously? Cleese is trying to sell Trump as mentally impaired when he’s running against Biden? Cripes even Bill Mahar won’t play that game.

But even with all I’ve seen the most incredible bit of BS I’ve seen pushed at me was this:

Because I do the shopping in the house and have for years and that very day I went to the soda aisle and for the first time ever saw 2 liter bottles of soda offered at 2 for $5. I grabbed a cheaper brand and went to the frozen food aisle figuring to buy some Michelina’s frozen Penne & pasta meals & maybe a fettucine alfredo as they are a cheap alternative for lunch. They’re normally a buck each but I had seen them as high as a buck and a quarter lately.

They were $1.50 each A 50% increase over the Trump years and remember these are the bottom of the line in terms of price (not in quality however they are rather tasty).

So imagine what went through my mind when I saw this:

Why on earth is this stuff effective to some? The answer comes from human nature.

People hate to admit they were wrong, to notice the crashing economy, the rampant antisemitism, our rejection around the world, the abandonment of our allies, the massive amount of illegal immigration, the emptying of our strategic petroleum reserve all of the layoffs nationally and of course the President’s inability to walk or talk or complete a speech without a long list of corrections coming out from the White House is to concede that perhaps they were wrong for either their support for Joe Biden or the opposition to Donald Trump or both.

And to make that admission is more than they can bear.

My Pastor at St. Bernard’s Parish at St. Camillus church often talks about seeing yourself in the light of truth and that part of reason why so many choose hell is they give the choice of seeing themselves in the light of truth and accepting mercy and denying that truth for all the sufferings of hell they find all the torments of the damned preferable to the uncomfortable truths about themselves.

The truth about Joe Biden in general and the party they have adopted not as a means to a political end but as their religion is too much for them to bear.

Rather sad actually.

Never Forget that the Same People Who Insist that Election 2020 Was on the Up and UP…

…are the same people who insisted that this wasn’t true:

Last month AstraZeneca admitted for the first time in court documents that its covid vaccine can cause a rare side effect in an apparent about-turn that could have paved the way for a multi-million-pound legal payout. This could theoretically become a landmark legal case, although there have already been obstacles for those seeking justice. 

The story of Alex who lost a leg due to the Vaccine has several interesting twists and turns but the most telling are this:

I don’t blame the public; most are just going with what they have been told. And if the public see papers like Rolling Stone [Alex was on the front cover in January 2023] labelling me as an antivaxxer and a conspiracy theorist, that gives them open free game to give us all the abuse that you can imagine. You wouldn’t believe some of the things that have been said to me: ‘You should have died’; ‘You should have lost both legs’; ‘Could you not have lost your tongue?’ I have been called a grifter. I am still trying to get my head around that one. A crisis actor – I was also called that once. That was quite impressive.  

and this:

I was interviewed on Indian TV and I found out that they have used 1.7billion does of AstraZeneca over there. Half the population. I was told privately that they are having a massive problem because their government won’t even talk about it. So this is global, it is not just one place.  

Never forget two things:

Conventional Wisdom is always correct right up until the day it’s not.

If the steal had been unsuccessful and Donald Trump had been sworn in the same media people who insisted that the vaccines were safe and excoriated those who pointed out basic facts that suggested otherwise would have been all over this story from the start because they would have blamed Donald Trump for every single injury they caused.

Reality is, it doesn’t care how you vote.

A quick trip to the Tycoon Arcade

On Saturday my sons and I stopped by the Tycoon Arcade that I mentioned a few days ago.

Here is a quick video review of the place:

One thing I failed to mention in the video is that when you buy a batch of tokens they donate a game to toys for Tots, one game for a $19 purchase and an extra game for every $20 worth more up to five games if you drop $99 on 130 tokens.

You can find more information about them here. You can also order board games form them at the same site.
