Could we get a red circle around the diversity? I can't seem to find it anywhere.

[–] pennomi@lemmy.world 52 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I can see all the diversity in there: Person, Man, Woman, Camera, TV!

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

hey wait a minute... it sounds like you're just naming things you see around!

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 3 points 2 months ago

Wow, you should be president!

[–] akincisor@sh.itjust.works 36 points 2 months ago

For the blind:

  • there's people of both genders
  • there's people in MAGA hats and those without (showing broad bipartisan support)
  • there's old people and "one foot in the grave" people
  • there's thin, fat and morbidly obese people
  • there's even people without hats
  • there's people who are paid to be there and those who are there of their own free will - no AI here!

I swear you people won't believe what's in front of your eyes if it doesn't match your damn Commie agenda!

/s because even I can't tell anymore

[–] FoxyFerengi@lemm.ee 27 points 2 months ago

There's red hats, white hats, blue hats. A few tan ones.. Wait, did you mean diversity of people? I can count about six women in the picture!

[–] ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one 15 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I saw the diversity, there's: young white guy, old white guy, young white woman, old white woman, person wearing a hat, person not wearing a hat, man with a beard, and man with not beard.

That's diverse by Republican standards.

[–] hate2bme@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Not beard haha

[–] LEDZeppelin@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

There’s a post menopausal woman behind the guy in blue shirt. That’s counts for diversity

[–] tootoughtoremember@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

post menopausal woman

"Postmenopausal female" if you're looking for the exact quote

I think I see a black woman on the stage in the background. She's definitely not with all those media personnel right around her

[–] snooggums@midwest.social 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Diverse in ages all the way from middle age to elderly, some have bears and others are clean shaven, and some people are taller or shorter than other people.

You know, D I V E R S I T Y.

[–] erusuoyera@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

some have bears

I imagine it's a typo but, given the spikes in Grindr use around MAGA events, it probably still works.

[–] snooggums@midwest.social 2 points 2 months ago

In addition to the bears, some have beards!

[–] bazus1@lemmy.world 34 points 2 months ago

JD, when the Secret Service won't allow your daddy to do open-air venues any longer, but you still can, it's probably a sign.

[–] Gingerlegs@lemmy.world 21 points 2 months ago (1 children)

A glimpse into the crowd of over 40,000 that attended

[–] ilinamorato@lemmy.world 16 points 2 months ago (1 children)

400,000. 40,000,000. Why stop at ridiculous? Go to ludicrous! 4 billion people! You can see it in the photo, half of the human race!

[–] cabillaud@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

Tremendous rally

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 14 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Looks like more reporters than people.

[–] BartyDeCanter@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Reporters are people, friend.

[–] themachine@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago

Binders full of reporters.

[–] curbstickle@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Ehhhhhh

(Just kidding of course, good reporters are invaluable)

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

because to value you them you gotta be able to find them first

[–] Etterra@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

Oh wait I see the diversity now. You got yer cowboy hats, baseball caps, no hats, ladies hats, straw hats, that fat lady with the sunglasses on top of her head...

[–] distantsounds@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I’m sure it was a low turnout, but it doesn’t look like it started yet

[–] trek32@lemmy.world 18 points 2 months ago (1 children)

News reports confirm the images

"If I'm being generous, that looks like 10 rows of 10 seats across on each side," reported a tech correspondent Chris O'Brien. "So about a total of 200 people potentially?"

[–] TransplantedSconie@lemm.ee 8 points 2 months ago

AI will fill in the rest.

Trump says the democrats are doing it, so I'm sure some weirdo mutant on xitter will fill in the rows.

[–] TehWorld@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Seriously… it’s kinda fun to dunk on the low numbers and all, but arguing about crowd sizes is kinda dumb. Trump and his tiny hands can blather on about it all he wants, but we should leave it to the weirdos to complain.

The facts are that there were at least a couple hundred people there. It’s a small crowd but it’s easily handled waived away and really a distraction for those of us on the side of reason and decorum to try to distort the truth away from JDs love of couches.

[–] banner80@fedia.io 8 points 2 months ago

It's more important than that. Trump is laying the ground work to try to steal the election in Nov by saying that he has once again been cheated by the electoral system. That's why it's so important to him to pretend that his crowd sizes are enormous.

We have a civic duty to rub their noses into their tiny crowds that don't represent real America, to make sure it's clear to all that the MAGA movement is a minority of the weirdos, and by no means deserves nor is expected to win in November. After the election, when Trump tries to pretend he commands the majority and he should be crowned king, the entire country needs to be ready to laugh it off and hold the line of democracy.

[–] DickFiasco@lemm.ee 6 points 2 months ago

I could be wrong, but I think Diversity was an old, old wooden ship.

[–] BeatTakeshi@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

So many young people... This cult has a future!

[–] Dramaking37@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Looks like he found the 3%ers. The 3% without jobs.

[–] Sanctus@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

That crusty coterie checks all the boxes you'd expect.
