    “Oh, I think you guys are at the wrong rally. You meant to go to the smaller one down the street.”

    Expert level burn.

    When the commotion started, Harris smiled at the disrupters and said, “Oh, you guys are at the wrong rally.”

    As the crowd roared, Harris readied the punchline:

    “I think you meant to go to the smaller one down the street.”

    Ouch.

    The crowd erupted again as Harris laughed and waved the protesters goodbye.

    I don’t really get going to political rallies at all, but what kind of losers with nothing better to do go to a political rally of your opponent.

      It’s an attempt to intimidate or even start a fight. You know, like brownshirts.

      I went to a Bernie rally. Only time I’ve wanted to go to a rally before or since.

      I actually love the fact that stadiums full of people go to political rallies and get jazzed about policy speeches. It’s strange, right? But I’m glad it’s something we get collectively psyched about. In a democracy, it (usually) feels healthy.

        When you phrase it that way it does sound good. I’m not the most statist girl you’ll meet, but I’m very pro civic duty, and caring is the least you can do.

        Problem is, there is no exit strategy.

        Apparently at a few of his rallies attendees have been stuck without buses. He doesn’t care what happens after

        Also, he doesn’t pay his bills for the rallies apparently either to the city

            Who needs it right? Let’s go harass political opponents, jail journalists we don’t like, have people executed on our birthdays like they do in Russia - there is no democracy in a 2 party system anyway, why keep appearances. Let’s go full fascist, that will show how we are better than the other fascists.

              Of course using your voice to shout down literal fascists is the same as gaoling journalists and executing people as birthday presents . . .

              Intolerance cannot be tolerated.
