2021 had very few people because of corona.
Just another day of Biden supporters repeating claims trump supporters used to make.
Biden didn't get elected because people wanted him to be president, he got elected because in the general he was the only option not named trump.
Expecting him to draw a crowd like 08 Obama is just ridiculous
They actively discouraged people from coming because of corona. That's why it isn't comparable.
Also it was weeks after January 6th, security was high and I'm sure everyone who was there was on edge imagining a crazy MAGA supporter with a gun or a bomb.
Man if only there was some word for using violence to instill fear in political opponents.
Oh well.
They're happy to call themselves that word
