Civil Politics Supplemental (11/01/24): Trump Rally Interviews: Pamala and Scott

This past Saturday (October 25th. 2024) I was driving down Riverdale Road in West Springfield when I noticed a ton of flags, people yelling, and horns blaring. It was a huge rally in support of one Donald J. Trump. I immediately pulled in to the parking lot and spent the next hour speaking with different people in attendance, and even one of the organizers.

It was a fascinating experience. The crowd was huge, and apparently was larger earlier in the day, there was music, drinking, it was like walking into an outdoor party. As I drove in I made a promise to myself - I won't bring any of my opinions in. I was there to speak to people who loved Trump, who wanted him to be president again, and I didn't want to get into any fights. I wanted to hear them, ask them about their lives and their beliefs, and make sure that everyone that listened to Civil Politics heard exactly what they thought too.

So here are the conversations I had with ardent Trump supporters, or as I refer to them - Very Specific Kinds of People.
