"Spirit of America" rallies planned

[winecat]

Because Trumplethinskin needs his ego stroked.  

It's going to be on Feb. 27th here.

Someone on the local event page said that there are rallies planned in 34 states.

I have a lot of American spirit, currently exemplified by my protest tendencies. Think we can top the 3 million from the women's marches?

[unclejesse]

There was just one here last weekend. The infamous "Swedish" comments. Someone on my FB posted a video as he was one of the silent protesters there and as he was filming it, the vile things that were said to him, people inches from his face, it was disgusting.
This is hate mongering at its finest, and we're just getting started, folks.

I'm guessing New York is not one of them. If so, I feel honored.

[atexan]

Is this a thing? Have other presidents done this and I just wasn't paying attention? Or are these just bigger versions of the Two Minutes Hate?

You never know!  You might get the honor of having one local.    


I'm surprised they picked Denver.  There are far more Cheeto friendly cities in CO.

My local mom's bst page was thrilled when Cheeto was elected as were most of my neighbors. I'm really surprised he's not coming down to the Springs. Except the last time he was here the fire Marshall was "mean" to him by enforcing room capacity so maybe he's still holding a grudge.

I don't think he's going to be there from what I've read now.  I guess his followers realize that he needs his ego stroked.

I don't get it. Are they just going to stand around, listen to patriotic songs and cheer for him??

I assume the showpiece will be a flock of star-spangled eagles, crying tears of freedom.

I think Massachusetts should sue, as they were the "Spirit of America" long before Trump came on the political scene.

It's even on the license plates:



forever ago, there was an ad campaign, and I STILL have the fucking jingle in my head.

So, #thankstrump for re-instilling that memory.

Here's the schedule.

When I think of spirit of america I think of Lindbergh (I know, st louis, not america, but I conflate them in my head). So, apropos considering he was a nazi sympathizer.

[mbcdefg]

New Jersey's is being held in a Shop Rite parking lot, apparently.

[nicbreeful]

Bet it just KILLS President Oompa Loompa that he can't do one in NYC.

[elleblue]

So a bunch of these dates and times overlap. Is he skyping into these rallies?

[Nonny]

Lakeview Oregon? They are going to get like, 8 people and 5 horses.

I stand corrected. There is one being held on Long Island. Shocking!

The locations of these rallies kills me. Grocery store parking lot for NJ? A run down hotel parking lot in Wisconsin? 😂

[unclejesse]

He's doing this as part of his re-election campaign. You know, the one he filed for 5 hours after he got inducted?


I'm telling you, if he makes it that far, he will try to change the 2-term law.

[tres3]

I just don't think he'll get the crowds to even come close to the numbers of the women's march. Nashville which is in a very red state had reports of 20K women marching at the women's march. I bet the "Spirit of America" tour only has 2k...Most people I know are either distraught that he got elected or on the other side-- voted for him, but are "meh" about him so they aren't going to show up at a march for him.

I used to proudly sing that song on our visits up from South Jersey to Springfield ! It's quite catchy! Lol!

[RoxMonster]

OMG at that website. Besides the banner photo mash-up of the eagle, fireworks, flag, soldiers, etc., if you scroll down you get to see their list of "suggested websites." Barf.

[AutumnRose25]

Hartford is not going to go well for him.

[poundcake]

I'm not surprised there's one here.

Man, the artwork on that site sure is something. I guess only liberal elites care about fancy graphics.

[notsopicky]

WTF? Doesn't he have, like, WORK to do? Because he sure as hell isn't getting work done on his current every-weekend-in-FL kick.

Although, perhaps I should be glad he's taking ANOTHER fucking victory lap around the good ole US of A so that he has less time for religious bans, deporting immigrants and taking away every environmental protection and woman's right there is.

He's not attending. This looks like just a supporter thing.

Becasue...I mwan, he's amateur hour all the way, but that website is bad even for him.

Eta: I'm kinda assuming here. I imagine he'll appear at a few or something?
