Someone needs to just start mimicking all this MAGA nonsense à la the Onion, but maybe with more specific references.
"BREAKING: Dozens of lifted pickup trucks covered in cult symbols show up at Trump rally. Parking lot is filled despite only 1-2 people per vehicle. All of them appear to wear identical hats.
Why do these weird sightings only occur at Trump rallies?"
Filled lot, half-empty arena
I just assume like 75% of the people who read posts like this a believe the poster's intended message simply live in areas with such poor public transport, the idea that there are not only multiple busses running to the same destination, but those busses are full Is simply so alien to them, they just assume something fucky is going on.
I lived in a small city in Ohio, and I gotta say.... It was wild being in Columbus for a convention and being able to catch a bus on my own street within minutes of walking up to the stop, and seeing a mostly full bus.
The few times I used my home city's transportation, I had to leave early enough to walk a good mile to the nearest stop (where I had to wait about 20 minutes since the bus was 10 minutes late), and make all the appropriate transfers so that I get to work on time, and I was one of three people on the bus usually. And I arrived at my destination a full 45 minutes before I needed to be there, but it was that or walk for several hours both ways.
Functional public transport is an alien concept when your nearest neighbor is half a mile down the road.
I live in one of the top 10 largest cities in the US and the concept of a functional public transportation system is alien. Gotta be at work at 630 or 7 am? Gotta get home from work after 7pm? Too bad that's too early or too late to make it because the bus doesn't run 24 hours.
I think the city busses ran from 6am-8pm? Maybe 9? So not 24 hours but still a good stretch longer than some of the surrounding cities. I know the bus stop near one of my friends only has a bus every 2 hours, and there are days it just doesn't show up.
It's crazy that a large city would have worse transportation than a city of 40-50,000.
I decided riding a bicycle was a better idea for my area, so I didn't use the busses long.
Probably would have gotten way less injuries though...
Why are there so many buses taking people in sports jerseys to the stadium on game day? It's a conspiracy, those people must be paid actors!
I dont watch sports and can't see why anyone would pay to watch it. Now it all makes sense.
My thoughts exactly!
Insert Rob Lowe with his NFL hat
Dear god... public transport
I can’t think of a rally for anything that would make me stand out in the Nebraska cold for hours.

I'm actually surprised that this isn't how it works at Trump rallies considering he is a former president. When I went to see Obama at the Lincoln National Cemetery, they had everyone arrive in a different location and then had them go through security before getting on busses to the real location where his speech would be. I'm assuming that's what is happening for Kamala's rallies as she is the current VP. But it also just makes sense from a security standpoint of a former president? I'm also no expert and just speculating.
Pretty sure this is exactly how it works for just about all of them. I think I remember a trump rally where the buses left a bunch of people stranded
It’s because Abbott spent $225M bussing migrants around the country for no reason. The Republican budget is obviously tapped for mass transit.
NOW THEY'RE HIRING ACTORS WHO CAN AFFORD TO ARRIVE IN THEIR OWN CARS!!!!
Why is trump such a broke loser that he can't afford busses full of crowds? /s
"What even is carpooling??? There's clearly no pool! The carpool is obviously another blatant liberal lie!!"
Park and ride?!? That's a desecration of everything America stands for!!!
confused truck noises
Why can't these people park their cars on top of pedestrians like real mericans?
Oh no! People riding in buses!?
...
Dozens of buses arriving full of supporters isn't public transportation. That's charter buses.
Shh, reasoning is on hold
Where i live, there's multiple cars per day mostly full of asian people. They sure must be paid actors to promote tourism!
For some reason Trump supporters prefer to drive rather than take the busses provided by the candidate.
