Ron DeSantis met with swathes of empty seats at Iowa event, photo shows - Lemmy.world

GOP nominee Ron DeSantis was met with a large number of empty seats at a meet and greet event in Iowa, photos shared online have revealed.

LOL
sad nazi trombone

I was going to say, this looks like an event when people first enter and doesn’t mean much. Then I saw DeSantis down at the bottom actually speaking and laughed.

Probably more farm animals there than people.

That’s Iowa for you.

There was a braying jackass on stage. So you may be right
There’s more people at my families Thanksgiving dinner than this
Legit just played a 2fort game on TF2 that had might have had more people than this photo.
I’ve had more customizable bots in one game of Perfect Dark on the Nintendo64 than there are people in this photo.
Half those people are news media
Thank you - that's the money shot I wanted to see.
i wish the media would stop pretending he’s a contender. he’s not and he never has been. someone noted he was unpopular everywhere, even in florida, and they noted it almost two years ago. anyone with knowledge on it knows this. and trump isn’t a contender either. the gop basically has no viable person to put up as potential president because the party is too degraded at this point. it’s not an actual party that wants to govern. it’s a bunch of oligarchs funding dipshits in order to rule.
The media are enemies of the people. They don’t tell truth. They only sell outrage.

People created the media and made channels and media companies popular by viewing them.

Completely dismissing the media is as bad as watching them twenty-four hours a day.

You’re a pillock of a bellend if you think media and journalism is the same industry as it was even 20 years ago, let alone 70. Like straight up childish to believe in that level of ignorance.

Hey, thanks for your thoughtful input!

I have to ask though, did you even read what I wrote?

You’re welcome. Yes. And?

I made a point, you responded with a personal attack.

I think this conversation does not need to continue, but I hope you have a good day.

This picture has made my day. Thanks
Fucking lol. I like this.
Lmao that’s not just “swathes of empty seats”. That’s “only a dozen or so people showed up”.
Don’t worry, it’s not him. It’s those damn woke liberals from Iowa that are stopping people from getting to the event with all their… wokeness. (…wokness? ….wokenness? ….wokenism?)
And the few there look like the media lol
lol arena, dude that's an itty bitty livestock market.. where they auction off beef..
I’ve seen family reunions with more people.

What’s great about this is it isn’t a carefully taken image of one section of an auditorium that happened to be more empty, you can see almost the entire seating area.

And it wasn’t taken before or after because there he is, up front with a microphone in the white shirt saying his spiel. Lol
