      I was going to say, this looks like an event when people first enter and doesn’t mean much. Then I saw DeSantis down at the bottom actually speaking and laughed.

      Probably more farm animals there than people.

        There was a braying jackass on stage. So you may be right

        I had to do a triple check on that, my first thought was that this was probably taken before the event, but there he is, right below the American flag, with the white shirt.

      Lmao that’s not just “swathes of empty seats”. That’s “only a dozen or so people showed up”.

        Don’t worry, it’s not him. It’s those damn woke liberals from Iowa that are stopping people from getting to the event with all their… wokeness. (…wokness? ….wokenness? ….wokenism?)

          I’ve had more customizable bots in one game of Perfect Dark on the Nintendo64 than there are people in this photo.

        i wish the media would stop pretending he’s a contender. he’s not and he never has been. someone noted he was unpopular everywhere, even in florida, and they noted it almost two years ago. anyone with knowledge on it knows this. and trump isn’t a contender either. the gop basically has no viable person to put up as potential president because the party is too degraded at this point. it’s not an actual party that wants to govern. it’s a bunch of oligarchs funding dipshits in order to rule.

      What’s great about this is it isn’t a carefully taken image of one section of an auditorium that happened to be more empty, you can see almost the entire seating area.

      And it wasn’t taken before or after because there he is, up front with a microphone in the white shirt saying his spiel. Lol
