Nobody fucking cares if 0, 1, or 100000 people show up to a political rally.

Submission Statement: Here’s a new photo someone took who attended showing how they cover up areas completely. Now every rally looks like maximum occupancy with no empty areas. They do this to avoid image comparison memes.
Reminds me of a reverse of what they did to Trump’s 2016 inaugural address, putting white squares over the grass where people stood to make it look more empty, then put it next to pictures with normal grass where optically crowds looked fuller.
Other tricks still exist like doing comparison memes early in the rally before people have arrived or later after people have left. (exposed by zooming in on clock towers or watches). Or filling using AI. Or showing reserved seating for journalists. All tricks have been used. Politics is just a game of optics. Wizard of Oz type shiz

They do this at concerts, political rallies, basically anywhere where someone performs and is being recorded. It’s to make it seem more full. They did the same for Trump in a Tulsa rally he had. It’s all about marketing.
