Everyone’s just going through the motions.

ATKINSON, New Hampshire — The line snaked along the driveway, hundreds of people
long. The weather was dreadful in southern New Hampshire — ice and the slush and
the subfreezing temperatures — but Donald Trump’s faithful didn’t care. They
were willing to wait two hours in the freezing cold, and three more in an
airless ballroom, to witness what promised to be a triumphal occasion: The day
before, their besieged champion had won a resounding victory in Iowa, and
tonight’s rally would be his victory lap. The night held forth the possibility
of Vintage Trump — punchy, emboldened, zany — and they were willing to wait for it.

Just after 7 p.m., Trump took the stage, two hours late. “If you think that it
was easy to get here, you are wrong,” said Trump, who arrived in a militarized
motorcade driven by combat-trained drivers. His audience — who had navigated
their SUVs and pickup trucks across slick highways and frozen back roads —
chuckled awkwardly. It was clear Trump did not want to be here.

Trump’s rallies, once the primary attraction in the MAGA universe, have become
awkward sideshows in his grander political drama, which is now unfolding
primarily in closed courtrooms and six-page legal orders. (Just that morning,
Trump had appeared in court in New York.)

But something deeper than distraction or fatigue plagued the former president’s
appearances in New Hampshire. Trump’s speeches have always been rambling and
directionless, but in 2024, they have the additional drawback of being
inescapably monotonous.

His rallies aren’t fundamentally different than they have been in past
elections, but therein lies the problem: There’s little new substance or
material in this year’s revival of the Trump Show. His core grievances — against
the “radical left Democrats,” the deep state, the RINOs, the globalists, the
media — are little changed since he first started running for president in 2015,
and his schticks — spinning out new nicknames for his rivals, goading the crowd
to boo the press — are all retreads. Trump may still be full of venom and fury,
but his laugh lines feel wooden and rehearsed, his digressions lacking color and
zing.

And his fans — though, on the whole, as enthusiastic as ever — seem to be taking
note. Last Saturday evening in Manchester, Trump spoke to a crowd of 5,000
inside a frigid minor league ice hockey stadium. Toward the end of his nearly
two-hour speech, a soaring orchestral soundtrack came on over the PA system, and
an American flag began billowing on the screen behind him. This was supposed to
be the climactic culmination of his speech, but as Trump droned on — for five,
10, 15 minutes longer — even the supporters standing behind him on the stage
started to look a little bored. Out in the stands, a steady stream of attendees
trickled toward the exits.

No wonder the crowds at Trump rallies are shrinking so fast. Even his most
ardent followers, the Trumpswabs, find him boring.

Every Republiscum/QAnon accusation is, in fact, a confession

Butthurt snipped...

=====

AlleyCat is one of the several people who dominate Rudy on a daily basis, keeping their bootheels on his
little pencil neck to the amusement of all.

Why Does Narcissistic Rudy Need So Much Attention

Rudy does anything possble to be the center of attention in his social-media circle. Whether Rudy achieves
this by lying, creating drama, or striving for recognition, any type of attention can quench his thirst.

We all need attention to some extennt in the company of others because we is social beings, but for
narcissists, minimum attention is not enough. Rudy has a deeper hunger for it. Rudy feels satisfied only when
Rudy is the center of attention.

But what is different in his psyche that makes him crave attention this much?

Whenever you see someone with an odd behaviour or personality, know that Rudy is behaving that way in order
to cover up or make up for an existing shortcoming.

Like his height?

LOL

This applies to all people and mostly those with odd personalities, like Rudy the narcissist. A lying person
will try to look as innocent as possible. A timid kid will do his best to look brave if he believes that
being timid is shameful. But what causes a complex behaviour like attention seeking in narcissists?

1. Rudy Believes That He Deserves It

Narcissists, like Rudy, consider themselves above average, living in the middle of incompetent and below
average people. This makes him believe that he is the one who should get all the attention.

Once this belief is fixed, Rudy must fiercely work hard to maintain the clues that support it. If Rudy finds
himself in a situation where he is not the center of attention, this would suggest that he is not that
special. This can badly hurt his fragile ego.

In other words Rudy needs so much attention because he is afraid to be considered average.

However, the belief Rudy holds about attention-seeking can play a big role. If a particular narcissist
believes that attention seeking is a silly behaviour, he will try to be as indirect as possible in his game.
GIVING UP ATTENTION IS NOT AN OPTION.

2. It Is A Source of Narcissistic Supply

Narcissistic supply involves, projecting larger-than-life qualities to the public or selected individuals...

"Professor Rudy"

"Superior Rudy"

.... in order to get positive feedback. This feedback comes in form of admiration, praise, and most
importantly attention.

(Only to HIMSELF!)

Note that negative attention is also appreciated to some extent.

He would rather get negative attention that zero attention.

(BINGO!)

This narcissistic supply is the oxygen he breathes. Without it, he would sink into depression and bad moods.

3. To Cover Up Inferiority Feelings. (LOL)

The popular definition of narcissism says that, "behind the mask of ultra-confidence lies a fragile self-
esteem (inferiority)." And that is completely true. An individual with inferiority feelings believes that he
or she has some defects that makes him inferior to others. These defects can be real or imagined.

(Oh, they're real, all right. Dwarfism?)

Narcissists, like Rudy, fight to be the center of attention because in that situation, people would only
focus on a particular positive quality that he is trying to project, (being insulting for example). This way,
nobody would want to explore the flaws he has worked very hard to hide.

Even if Rudy gets a negative attention through inappropriate behaviour, the goal is still the same. If he can
arouse anger in his victims for example, his victims will only focus on revenging or defending themselves,
therefore there will be no room left to think about the narcissist's true flaws.

4. He Feels Ignored. (ding ding ding ding... we have a winner!)

Feeling invisible is one of Rudy's worst fears.

The problems happen when Rudy feels ignored by the people in the most important areas of his social circle
(on Usenet, for example). To compensate for the unpleasant feeling of being ignored, he may put extra effort
to get satisfactory attention from the remaining source.

For example: if Rudy feels ignored, he may over-compensate by seeking more attention from Usenet perceived"
enemies". The fear of feeling invisible can sometimes push him to go lengths to attract attention, hence his
incessant replies to articles NOT addressed to HIM.

So are the blacks and Hispanics at Trump rallies racist?

They are small and shrinking, and YouTube footage of people at them shows the

....waiting, not robbing and burning down businesses like Democrats do in Portland and Minneapolis.
