TIL the difference between a rally crowd and an online echo chamber is night and day
Went to my first Trump rally last month in Daytona and compared it to scrolling the fan pages on here. In person, people actually talked about the economy and immigration with real stories, like one guy who runs a landscaping crew and lost 3 workers this summer. Online, it's all memes and yelling at each other over tiny policy details that nobody cares about. The live event felt more honest and grounded, the feed feels like a contest for who can post the most extreme take. Has anyone else noticed the gap between what you hear at a rally versus what you read here?

Guilty as charged, half my feed history is probably me arguing about stuff I couldn't even explain to my own grandma. But yeah, being in a room with actual people beats typing into the void every time. Real conversations just hit different than dunking on strangers.
