Not sure this is the post for this, but here goes...

I've been chewing on a post RN made a thread or two ago about, the logic of Biden winning just wasn't there based on the evidence.
Rally comparisons were mentioned.

Got me to thinking. ( I know, I know - 3 most dangerous words in the English language "I been thinkin") Ronna McDaniel gave out stats after every rally that supposedly bolstered the Pres. Trump narrative.

I remember early on BLM\Antifa\RATs were applying for tickets to Pres. Trump rallies, to deny Pres. Trump supporters a seat.
One rally, they blocked entrances and supporters were either forced home or into the outside over-flow crowd.

And... recently knowing that it was ANTIFA\BLM\RATs that "stormed" the Capitol disguised as Trump backers...
Is it possible the McDaniel stats were mis-read?

13 Trump rallies: Over 167,000, 25% new voters, 30% not even Republicans.

Read the article and look at all the stats.

Attendance is based on how many show. The tickets didn’t matter. All they did was put your name on their mailing list.

The tactic of the left was to reserve tickets and not attend. This allowed a small number of people to disproportionately attack Trump rally size. The left did not want cameras to see people in the stands or standing in line so they didn't attend, other than FF opportunities.

They wanted Trump rallies to look like Biden rallies, so fake MAGAs would not attend.

Trump held his campaign rallies on airport tarmacs to accommodate the tens of thousands that showed up.

Butler PA Trump rally.

 

Biden held campaign events in parking lots. Six people showed up to hear Jill speak....one was heard to say "Who's Biden." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I guess all the left had was Antifas and they would be conspicuous in either a Biden or a Trump rally, otherwise they would have paid Antifa to 'attend' the Biden/Harris empty rallies. But those Antifas can sign up for Trump rallies online.

Rally attendance reflected public sentiment rather well, except MOAR peeps would have attended them if they weren't socially harassed, threatened and ostracized for supporting Trump. Just think how many more would have attended, had bumper stickers on their cars, wore Trump hats and had lawn signs up if they didn't have reason to suspect they might be assaulted, framed, lose their jobs, their children would be threatened, their property vandalized etc.

Didn’t need tickets to get in.

First come, first served.

IIRC, before one rally, the rally organizers turned the tables on the ticket grabbers, made it sound like they had run out, but come rally time, the place was packed.
