you can make stuff up, revise history, call a failed revolution a day of love, boast about how your young daughter loves sitting on your lap and everyone loves you and will vote for you, because the world really, really needs your leadership.
And believe it yourself, and say all that with a straight face.

The disadvantage of being insane is that people will look at you funny - as in that photo.
It needs thought balloons over each head - with 'WTF?' in all of them.

Not enough cult members. Waaaay too fucking many of them, and yeah, it’s a fucking problem, but not enough to get him elected.

of the people behind him. It isn't usually this bad, but almost always the people are baffled.

Sometimes you will get a couple guys looking at each other and laughing. They are there for the shock value. The crazy.

These people, if I was doing a thought balloon would be saying:

from left, lady in black: "I thought you were a crazy f@#$. Now I know you're a crazy f#$%.
woman in the middle, white and black top: "Four hours of my life that I'll never get back."
man to the right, gray suit jacket: "No effing way are you qualified for this job."

Next row:
woman in orange with hair updo: " Ewwww."
to right, woman with white hair and glasses: "Urrrrm, I'm not signing up for this."

Now look at the number of people in the photo who have their hands clasped or crossed, or their arms folded, and their ankles crossed: that means they are closed off to his message. Not buying it.
