MANCHESTER, New Hampshire — President Donald Trump threw himself another big rally Thursday night, this time in Manchester, New Hampshire, a state he nearly clinched in 2016.
We invited Lucas Meyer, the president of the Young Democrats of New Hampshire, to attend the rally with VICE News and talk to Trump’s fanatical supporters about why they love him so much. He agreed to attend because it’s “instructive to experience.”
"Maybe I'll learn something new. I don't count on it. And part of it is I want to see it to, like, motivate myself for the next year and a half,” Meyer said before we arrived downtown outside the Southern New Hampshire University Arena. The last Trump rally Meyer attended was on the day before Election Day 2016 — as a protester. After talking with five supporters, he didn’t find much common ground, even with someone who once voted blue, Jennifer McCormick. She was a big Bernie Sanders supporter in 2016, and said she was “disgusted” by the way the Democratic Party treated him in the primary process. She has found solace in Donald Trump.
When Meyer told her he believes Clinton fairly won the primary race, McCormick questioned the fact that Clinton won the popular vote.
"I think that's a fact. I don't think that's an opinion. And the fact that won. No you disagree?” Meyer responded.

Someone needs to explain to this clown that there’s no such thing as “the popular vote” in a presidential election. He needs to give the Constitution a read.
“This Democrat Went to a MAGA Rally to Try to Understand Trump Supporters “
Reminds me of...
“The Devil went down to Georgia. He was lookin’ for a soul to steal.
He was in a bind ‘cause he was way behind. He was willing to make a deal.”
I can’t believe how far back this country has been tabulating a meaningless number.
I thought it was a fairly recent (50 or so years) event.
Boy was I wrong.
And I went to the zoo to see how Dems think.
““They were operating under a whole different other set of facts than what I was operating under,” he added.”
Well I thought Joe30330 said it was about truth, not facts. LOL
Wonder how many cement water bottles got thrown at him? How many times did he get pepper sprayed? Let a Trump supporter try to go to a Dem event sometime.
Scary as crap to see a guy that messed up. I wish he would have been MORE SPECIFIC as to what bothered him about Trump or his supporters, rather than simply repeating that Trump is a Fascist and his supporters are ‘brainwashed’.
What does this clown want for the country? How many national languages 20 years from now will be enough? How many laws taking away our First Amendment will be enough? (forget Second Amendment, of course) Who should be put in jail, just Trump, or Trump plus Republican leaders who support him, or everyone who supports Trump? Should his side, if given the power (think judges) to ‘re-educate’ Republicans actually do so, or are we so ‘irredeemable’ that we should just be disposed of? And what are his plans when his side collapses the economy, as will certainly happen if his side gets their way? Would his people peacefully hand over power to our side, even though we should be disposed of? Or, more likely, will he support a Stalin/Mao/Castro ‘solution’ to dealing with opposition?
There's the problem in a nutshell. Vice sent the kid to listen, he went to talk. The subheading states the kid went into the event as a closed minded child, and every quote from him (is it even safe to call it a him?) Is him focused about himself..I hope they didn't pay him very much.
Try the Howler Monkey enclosure towards dusk!
“They were operating under a whole different other set of facts than what I was operating under,” he added.”
Wonder if anyone has ever explained to him that there is only ONE set of “facts”...Anything else is opinion or fallacy...
The headline is a lie, there was no intent to understand at all. No need to read an article that begins with a lie
He talked about Trump supporters being "indoctrinated" and the only one I saw that fit that description was him.
He called Trump's movement fascism without offering any evidence or proof other than his own feelings.
Typical Leftist. Nothing to learn here except that they are not bright in their breadth of understanding of Trump and his supporters.
This is why the leftist press is “the enemy of the people”. They are intentionally and maliciously misinforming anyone unfortunate enough to give them the benefit of the doubt.
NYT just admitted it “organized the newsroom” around promoting the Russia-collusion hoax, and that their next move is to reorganize to promote racism hoaxes.
Anyone listening to them is going to be so grossly malinformed that they may as well live in a different universe.
“Typical Leftist. Nothing to learn here except that they are not bright in their breadth of understanding of Trump and his supporters. “
and let’s hope the great bulk of them remain that way: deluded ...
because deluded people are ineffective in the real world ...
Or won the popular vote via vote fraud.
Study supports Trump: 5.7 million noncitizens may have cast illegal votes

Yep...Probably 90% of the media is leftist...
She didn’t say anything she found out... unless there was more story somewhere...in that crowd, there would be plenty to “find out”.. she is too dumb on political knowledge to have an opinion.. Hillary did NOT win the election... do they actually believe that? and if so, where did they get that “fact”? if the media or some other youngun who don’t know much.. and she buys their ‘knowledge’.. she is not a good candidate to do much of anything.
“Though conversations remained civil, Meyer said that he and the Trump supporters “were talking right past each other.”
“They were operating under a whole different other set of facts than what I was operating under,” he added. “
Maybe that’s because 1) conservatives are civil, unlike their counterparts; and 2) conservatives are much more informed about what is going on around them than bubble people
Corporate media is 95%+ Democrat or further left, it’s been measured. The number of conservatives is so small as to be functionally zero, which is why they think labeling Communists like Jennifer Rubin as “conservative” is going to fly. Among their own ranks, she is!
Yeah, just look at the Pol Pot regime to answer every one of your questions.
