This is a fascinating article. I can’t think of anywhere else the social classes would voluntarily mix in this manner. Most gatherings of people are gated according to wealth and/or status. At an NFL game, billionaires sit in private booths, the affluent sit in the lower section, the peasants in the upper bowl, if they can afford to attend at all (most can’t). Mitt Romney and Hillary Clinton both got in trouble when comments they made at exclusive donor meetings were unexpectedly made public. Membership in private clubs is an expensive privilege. I doubt many of the cowboy hat wearing truck driving folks attending Trump’s speech would ever see the inside of a place like Mar-A-Lago otherwise. This then, is the secret to Trumpism, bringing people in very disparate classes together in common political purpose. Historically speaking, this is not common, tending to precede major revolutions and significant political change. The establishment are right to fear it. Their mistake is believing that Trump has some magical power to make this happen. He doesn’t, and whenever his political career has run its course, they will learn this the hard way.
Apparently you didn’t read the bit which described how VIPs sat in reserved seats on one side, members of the expensive club sat in reserved seats on the other side, and the salt-of-the-earth Real Americans stood at the back.
Yes, they “mingled” at one point. So do the various social groups at the sporting stadia when they walk in and out.

None it will matter if certain select county electoral commissions are not de-fortified. We’re clearly through the looking glass with respect to literal political persecutions. The RNC needs to, you know, do something.

‘…exquisitely coiffed and dressed members of the business elite mingle’.
Yep he represents the super rich establishment and the rest of his base just get chucked regular ‘red meat’ to keep them following. An old playbook but works…for a while.
Shame! Did you not receive your invite? Maybe next time…

For a moment I thought you were referring to Biden. At least Trump has real followers that showed up at rallies in their thousands.
Biden could not fill a parking lot during the run up to the last election and they were in cars, hiding from a China bug. No one must till me that that election was not stolen.
Well I must tell you – that election was not stolen! The clue is the complete and total lack of evidence that that there was any other than risibly minor and inconsequential fraud in that 2020 election, no more than in any other election and the same for all parties. If there is any credible evidence of material fraud could someone reference the detail please as I would like to know.
Not in the traditional manner. The MSM suppression of anything truthful.Hunter Biden’s laptop. Add the weird way the courts totally ignored glaring evidence of tampering, I would say there was interference in an election. And Tony, I say it was.
