I hope Springfield and Aurora schedule counterprogramming

when the fetid rapist shows up for a visit. I hope churches open their doors for appreciation services. I hope there are fundraisers and events that will also attract press to show the indicted conman that the people of these towns aren't intimidated by the hate-filled rhetoric of him and his awkward and incompetent lackey.

I know that some people are afraid, but nothing is going to change unless people show up against maga lunacy.

5. Nah, you'd blow 6 hours of your day on the road there and back if you're in Springfield.

They'd go to King's Island, as we always did. You still have to take out a second mortgage for admission tickets, but it's a lot closer.

And yes, very much wack.

Did that mean he wanted a street fight? Does he want to be attacked? We know he wants chaos. We know he wants to rally with the Proud Boys. Maybe he'll call for his thugs to show up to protect him.

Can the town tell him to bring his own security because their police force is busy trying to protect the citizens of the town?

6. LoL No just trying to say the counterprogramming suggested above is a good thing.

But is he going there for peaceful purposes? Thugs may show up to support him. Why did he suggest he might not make it out of Springfield (alive?). Are the brownshirts going to appear to protect their dear leader?

It is a good thing to stay two steps ahead of this wannabe.

9. It's his stream of unconsciousness

He just says whatever may imply his best message which can be interpreted numerous ways that are favorable to him e.g. (imagined example):
"These people are are eating pets. They may eat me too. These are dangerous people and they're Democrats who have been trying to kill me. I beat them twice. They came for me twice, but they can't get me. Who knows? Maybe in Springfield I won't be so lucky. They have all... look, what Nancy Pelosi did on January 6th. They could come after me with that same... with that same... they're horrible people."

Can't you just hear him saying something like that and trying to make himself a martyr?

And if he does show up with his hoods, they'll all be at his cross-burning. I think small community events are harder to infiltrate and harass because it takes more organization which they're good at if there's one focused event, but smaller events would pose a bigger logistical problem.

But I'm just spitballin'.
