They’re Afraid: CNN Publishes Article Saying Trump’s Iowa Rally Was the ‘Most Alarming Yet’
GP ^ | October 10, 2021 | Cassandra Fairbanks

CNN ran a story titled “The most alarming Trump rally yet” following former President Donald Trump’s massive rally in Iowa on Saturday.

According to the network, a former president and potential candidate holding a political rally is “dangerous to our democracy.”

The article, which gives off angry teenager’s diary vibes, whined that “while Donald Trump has held several rallies since the January 6 Capitol insurrection, his rally in Iowa Saturday was the most alarming by far.”

Penned by Daily Beast columnist Dean Obeidallah, the op-ed moaned that this rally “was different.”

“This one was attended by longtime Iowa US Sen. Chuck Grassley, Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds, Iowa Reps. Mariannette Miller-Meeks and Ashley Hinson, and other mainstream Republican officials. Some of these very same people, who just nine months ago were slamming Trump for his role in the Capitol riots, were now only too happy to be seen supporting him. This is politics at its worst — and at its most dangerous for our democracy,” Obeidallah asserted.

His biggest issue with the rally was not Trump, it was the politicians who went to support him.

“You don’t need to be a historian to recognize the danger in a political party showing blind loyalty to one person. These GOP elected officials just several months ago rightly criticized Trump and his role in the false election claims that led to the January 6 attack. With their presence at his rally this weekend, it seems they’ve now changed their tune,” Obeidallah’s whining continued.

Trump has a favorability rating of 91 percent among Iowa Republicans.

[Second of all I’m really starting to get worried for Trump’s personal safety.]

That’s basically what I was alluding too. How far will the Deep State go?

Also, thanks on referring to my screen name!

Did you happen to see grassly’s response after Trump endorsed him? “I can’t turn down Trump’s endorsement because Trump has a 91% favor ability with Iowa republicans”. He did not say thanks or that Trump was a good president or anything, absolutely nothing else.

The secret code words again: “Our Democracy”.

The first word is the most important: “OUR”

It’s a big club, and you ain’t in it.

doesn’t cover the rally, even tho it’s updated, but links to the report:

9 Oct updated 11 Oct: Daily Mail UK: Republican support in factory towns and rural areas has DOUBLED in comparison to Democrat gains in cities and college communities in another worrying sign for Biden’s party before 2022
Dems have been ‘hemorrhaging millions of votes’ since 2012, new report claims
A Democratic strategist told DailyMail.com it’s because they ‘quit showing up’
Towns that are far from urban centers and rural areas and that primarily rely on factories for their local economies have been flipping Republican in droves
Even when Biden won the presidency in 2020s he still lost the area to Trump
Many battleground states have significant manufacturing communities
Trump will be in Iowa, one of those states, for a rally this coming weekend
By ELIZABETH ELKIND
People living in the American heartland - populations outside of urban centers that rely heaving on manufacturing - have been abandoning Democrats in favor of Republicans in droves, according to a new report (LINK) exposing a weakness in President Biden’s party as the 2022 midterms loom.
‘Democrats have been hemorrhaging millions of votes in small and midsized working class counties,’ the 82-page report claims.

And those voters went straight to Trump in 2016 and 2020. Nearly 40 percent of GOP gains from 2012 to 2020 were in these areas alone...
It’s the latest sign of Democrats’ declining appeal amid sinking poll numbers for the top three Democrats in Washington with Joe Biden, Kamala Harris and Nancy Pelosi all grappling with their diminished likeability.
But the report, commissioned by political group 21st Century Democrats, shows signs of a larger disconnect that’s been years in the making.
‘We just quit showing up,’ John Pouland of 21st Century Democrats told DailyMail.com. ‘You’ve got to show up to win, and - you don’t even have to win. You just got to do better.’...

Ten states with ‘factory town’ communities are studied including the critical battleground states of Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa and Minnesota...

btw BBC - which pretty much ignored the recent Trump rallies - dragged out the despicable Trump-deranged Anthony Zurcher to propgandize the Iowa rally.

begins with someone I can’t find online - RINO Josh Lepke (?), senior at Iowa, and member of College Republicans (There are better options than Trump for 2024. yes, Trump did a lot of great things for our country, but he also did a lot of dividing of the people. We need someone who is going to build our country back together.) Zurcher mentions Mike Pence & Mike Pompeo also visited Iowa; says DeSantis, Cotton are other possible contenders.

"This time around everyone will be aware of election fraud."

How is that going to change anything?
The whole election system, including the "theft" part of the system, is going to be overwhelmed by about 45-million new, non-citizen, migrant-invader, vermin voters...

“dangerous to our democracy.”

Translation: “dangerous to the power of white liberal elites.”

from wiki
By issuing Executive Order 11110, President John F. Kennedy was able to continue the Secretary’s authority.[44] While retaining their status as legal tender, the silver certificate had effectively been retired from use.[33]
In March 1964, Secretary of the Treasury C. Douglas Dillon halted redemption of silver certificates for silver dollar coins; during the following four years, silver certificates were redeemable in uncoined silver “granules”.[4

We saw how far both parties would go to defeat him last November.
The big question is can we get elections cleaned up before November of 2024?

America, and it’s foundation as a Republic, is not about ‘democracy’ - in which the masses decide how individuals will live.

America is about preserving the rights of individuals to self-determine. That’s what true freedom is.

Interesting how you hear the word ‘democracy’ from the left frequently, but seldom hear the word ‘freedom’.

I think somebody actually flew a small plane trailing a banner that said that, and I saw a picture of 2 men who were wearing “Let’s Go Brandond!” shirts.

The propaganda machine is afraid?

What a laugh.

They control the narrative. They are about as afraid as the Brown Shirts and Gobbles were in ‘38.

All they gotta do is spin some more crap and print some more votes.
