    That he can stand on stage, and talk such incoherent gibberish and attract crowds, and receive applause reflects badly on us all.

      There is no way to know wheher he spewed out that word salad without confirmation.

      Almost half of eligibile US voters voted for him in the last two elections and will again this fall. Those voters get a disproportionate number of electoral college votes.

      It should be terrifying, but at this point it is just depressing that so many in this country would rather listen to some trust fund rapist criminal sound like someone actively having a stroke than admit that their fellow citizens are people who derserve rights.

          That would be confirmation…

              No, your reading comprehension sucks and you are inferring things that are not there.

                Your sentence makes 0 sense if you know these are recorded lmao. “We can’t know without the proof that exists but I haven’t looked for”.

                No wonder Trump is going to win with people like you on the other side who can’t even make a coherent point.

                  Get some sleep then go back and read the first post again. The whole post, not just the first sentence.

                  Then name any other politician where you wouldn’t dismiss this kind of word salad as a 4chan troll meme without confirming first. You can’t do that with Trump, it is necessary to confirm whether or not he said it by watching the video.

          But then I would have to watch a video of Trump gibberish.

      It is, and it is a shame that he has a chance to be elected a second time by riling up a base with auch incoherent gibberish.

      I mean if some 4chan troll put something like that on a screenshot of Biden we would know it is fake. But with Trump we need confirmation to know whether it is fake or real, because he regularly babbles incoherently.

        once, to prove a point, I found a picture of the turd wearing khaki pants and pixelated his lower half.

        I showed that picture to certain idiots in my extended family and they got incredibly pissed that I was calling out trump for being unprecedented.

        “Yeah. but you didn’t even question if it was real. didn’t even stop to wonder if trump flashed an entire rally or whatever that was, of people.”

            No.

            I made no assertions about the validity of the photo and explained it to them. It was in the context of just how presidentially unfit Trump was, and the whole point was that they believed it was real- which kind of requires telling them it’s not real.

            You’re being intentionally ignorant.

            Kind of like those certain idiots I was talking with. You’re so indoctrinated that you’re screaming “fake news” at something that was never presented as fucking news. When the picture was presented as suspicious to begin with. And that was the point.

    The word salad is something - but that venue is over 2hr away from Gettysburg, PA.

    Like going to Augusta, GA and saying “Atlanta, oh Atlanta. Atlanta, Atlanta, Atlanta…”

    Could someone explain the meme to non US netizens? Wikipedia tells me there was a battle alright. Or is it just his generally poor language?

    What a nice fella, making us all feel really good about our historical knowledge, however meager.
