read the article a bit to quick perhaps, but i missed the part where they described the size of the riots. 5 people waving flags is not a riot, imo. that's a bunch of weirdos either without a life, or who are pushed there to create some narrative for idiot-media to talk about and waste our time (eyes/clicks).

as far as i'm concerned the news story should be: despite fear of huge riots the country takes the news fairly solemn. nothing changed. peoples opinions didn't change either. the only one shouting is baby trump

Yeah maybe re-read the article. It’s not talking about the picture in front of Mar-A-Lago at all (not sure why they included that).

I feel like trump would be a great partner for an unprepared high school presentation.

Why wouldn't they look at what his base is thinking? They are the ones who tried to overthrow a democratic election on Jan.6th 2021. They're the ones Trump and his brood are talking to. It's probably important to hear what they have to say.

Attacking the judge who's about to sentence you? Big winning move.

There's a distinction between "his base" and what people (?) say online. Online comments are a poor representation of reality, I would generally think. It's a non representative subset of people (?) taking part in a shouting match in an information bubble.

I would think it's a pretty good representation of the reality of what his base is thinking.  More traditional Republican voters, probably not so much.

His base is the Yahoo! comments section.

In general yes I agree, online comments are not entirely representative of reality, especially for the big social media platforms but that's not where the reuters writers looked.

In the cases of truth social and the other Trumpian platforms, it is very representative. These are the same people who immediately after he was convicted of 34 felonies, decided it would be a good idea to flood his website with donations.

Also, if the pre-Jan 6 chatter on social media websites is any indication, there is a lot of intelligence to be gleaned from those platforms. Yes a lot of it is Meal Force Six, but some of them are very serious about their intentions to violently overthrow the government.

But I'm still amazed at how blind these people are. But hey, these people still believe in Jesus, so...

I actually drove by this today and had no clue what it was about (never heard the term “simp” before). At first I thought it was a bunch of extras from a movie set because there were some production vehicles nearby. 
 

edit

After checking the website, it looks like a ploy to sell T-shirts and bobble heads.

obviously the utility pole was placed there by Satan to test the believers.

without the internet these kinds of things would be in a quiet little town no one knows about or cares about. but having a platform makes it everyone's problem i guess.

Imagine how fragile that guys ego is. So triggered by a group of people that he is never going to encounter.
