I have a theory about this. The left has time and time again tried to create a parallel to conservative talk radio, but it never succeeds. Why?

My thought is that conservatives and liberals engage with politics in a completely different way. In our ideology, there is room for humor, fun and entertainment. With the left, they are never really entertained. They are never happy and they never have fun.

Everything about them is about envy and entitlement. The only way those things can manifest themselves is in the form of destruction. Whether it be actual physical destruction, or the destruction of societal norms.

When it comes down to it, no one wants to hear some angry person speak. It doesn't make anyone feel good or inspired. The truth of it all is that millions and millions of these angry people still vote.

Yes, Trump rallies show a lot for voter enthusiasm and they are great for republicans, but the nature of our political ideologies make them more viable for us.

In addition, Trump has always been a purely entertaining and engaging public figure. He's a ratings monster, and many people just want to see the show and then get red pilled on energy.

True and insightful. I've always been struck by the complete lack of joy or humor on the Left.

close, but you are missing a key reason why the left doesn't have a talk radio equivalent:

they are made up of low information voters.

talk radio is hours discussing a topic in depth. the left's supporters are literally too stupid or don't have the desire to go past the sound bytes of anything.

no leftwing talk radio show would be successful because the left isn't smart enough for it.

Even if their audience had living brain cells the host has nothing to say. No fact supports the Democrats position on any issue.

Reasons for small crowds: 1 - It is Joe Biden and he sniffs like a blind schnauzer seeking a bone. 2 - There is a limited number of Gibberish to English, English to Gibberish dictionaries. 3 - People are afraid that senility is contagious. 4 - No one wants to bring children with in 100' of Joe or his creepy wife. 5 - Kamal Harris' laugh scares off non-evil creatures.

I think they rented them for the day for appearance sake. They didn't like the optics of a bunch of Prius' in front.

Maybe to fit his ginormous teleprompters in ? I mean, how hard is talking from the heart?

One of the crowning moments of Trump for me was when he stood next to the fearless leader of NK, man to man, and talked. Like a human being. All the other presidents of my lifetime would be hiding behind bulletproof glass or something, if they even came within 2000 miles of him... stupid pansies. Man the f*ck up like GEOTUS did, you're the leader of the free world.

Nothing epitomizes the selfishness of the idiot youth at those riots like the sight of all them taking selfies with the flames.
