The election is in three weeks, and Pennsylvania is a must-win state for both Trump and Kamala Harris, but during a rally last night in Montgomery County, northwest of Philadelphia, Trump got bored with the event, billed as a “town hall,” and just played music for almost 40 minutes, scowling, smirking, and swaying onstage.

      I mean, the fascist wing of the conservatives like that rhe bar is so low.

      Hell, for decades, both parties loved the fact that the average voter is ill informed and treats it more like team sports… Remember how pompous and prideful the Hillary crowd was in 2016? Yea… the core parties are both slimeballs when it comes to beating the team sports drum.

      Though to be fair, only one party is so utterly stupid and bereft of actual morals that they now have an openly fascist wing to deal with, sooooo…
