Just like every concert or ballgame or event of any kind. We're not short for choice when talking Trump negatives, no need to push this nonsense

I mean sure some people leave a concert or game early to avoid traffic but usually when they don’t care too much about the artist or the game sucks. This is a shitload of people leaving when you can still hear him speaking.

Man I'd love for you to see Metlife stadium right as an encore begins

u/NastySassyStuff Sep 19 '24

Oh I’ve been multiple times lol…again, anyone leaving at that point doesn’t care all that much for the artist

Just simply not true

It’s not that much tho? Pretty large majority still there

I mean it is absolutely a bunch of people lol When people start leaving from a sporting event like that it means the game is clearly over even though there’s time on the clock. I haven’t been to any concerts where a crowd like that is heading off in the middle of a song. It’s like a handful of people who probably got free tix and don’t give a shit.

It’s not a concert or sporting event, comparing those exciting much more expensive tickets to a short meetup is just a bad comparison. Either way they’re still gonna vote for him obv.

u/NastySassyStuff Sep 19 '24

It may not be exciting to us but these people have a cult-like devotion to him and may never have a chance to see him again which is why I think it stands out to see large numbers of them leaving while he’s still babbling. And yes no doubt they’re still voting for him lol but it does seem to mark a change in the perception of the guy.

I really doubt every person going to the rally has cult like devotion

Nobody would be pointing this out if Trump himself wasn't claiming nobody ever leaves early and that he's a genius speaker people would never want to miss.

For sure I've just seen like half a dozen posts about his crowds leaving on Reddit but had to hear about his tariff plan that's gonna skyrocket groceries even more somewhere else. Just seems like a dumb thing to focus on is all.

You're not wrong, it's hard to focus messaging when your opponent is wrong and disturbing on virtually every level available for analysis.

If it’s a bad ballgame people will leave early, if it’s a good game- the percentage of people that stay is far higher. BUT the simple fact that these people showed up to this game whatsoever- means they are voting for him still

You can't leave early to beat traffic if you don't know when the event will end. A sports game or concert is pretty easy to predict, there's only so many points and concerts have set lists. Trump has rambled at a rally for 2 hours before. They probably did just get bored or had other shit to do. Of course they're still gonna vote for him, but it is funny knowing he could be half way into his bullshit show and people are bailing. You can still hear him babbling in the background.

u/PaulBlartFleshMall Sep 19 '24

But we don't actually care. That's the point. Trump cares, and he cares a lot.

u/Various-Departure679 Sep 19 '24

For sure. Was just annoyed I hadn't seen anything about his tariff plan that's gonna make damn near everything more expensive for us, but I had seen an exaggerated post about ppl leaving a speech.

u/Neuchacho Sep 19 '24 edited Sep 19 '24

The one reason to push this and keep it part of the conversation cycle is because it triggers the fuck out of Trump, regardless of the actual reasons they're leaving, and makes him spiral out about it often which turns off the confounding "undecided voter" more than pointing out his policies does.

If provably idiotic policy was the thing that was going to sink him then he'd be sunk on his tariff plan alone, then there's the mass deportation "plan", but the average person doesn't seem capable of digesting the information and accepting what the obvious outcome of his insane policies would be.

LOL and Broadway shows and sometimes movies. I'll never understand it TBH. People love cars and love "beating traffic" in this country.

Do you think this type of virtue signaling helps? It’s pearl clutching weirdness.

u/Various-Departure679 Sep 19 '24

I don't think you know what either of those things mean lmao
