Deep dives

Experiencing American Political Rallies

Attending a Trump rally can feel similar to a high-energy concert or event, where the atmosphere is charged with excitement. The rally lasts several hours, often leading to a mix of boredom and confusion as Trump rambles on various topics without a logical flow. For example, Trump can switch from discussing political issues like fracking to sharing grievances about personal insults from celebrities in a matter of moments. This chaotic experience is likened to both a Taylor Swift concert and an improvised comedy show, highlighting the unique, almost theatrical nature of his political gatherings.
