Actually, nope! The whole âthe stands were empty because KPop fans got all the ticketsâ narrative would be funny, but it assumes a few things that arenât true. First, it assumes that there were a limited number of tickets. Second, it assumes that there was anyone who wanted to go who was prevented from doing so because tickets were unavailable. In reality, nobody who asked for a ticket was denied one because there was an unlimited number of tickets, and nobody who showed up at the door was denied entry for not having one.
The fact is that the people who mightâve filled those seats just flat-out did not show up. Sure, they mightâve seen that KPop fans reserved tickets and figured âahh, I donât care enough to fight for a ticket,â but thereâs also a LOT of people who just didnât feel comfortable at a large gathering while thereâs a pandemic on. Maybe some of them didnât feel like signing a waiver absolving the campaign of responsibility if they get Covid 19 at the rally and got turned away at the door. Maybe their fear of getting sick finally outweighs their faith in Donald Trump, or maybe theyâve lost faith in him entirely.
Yes, the jokes about KPop fans ruining his rally are funny, but they obscure the true (and much funnier) explanation: Donald Trump is losing so much popularity with his base that he canât find enough racists to fill a stadium in support of him. In Tulsa Oklahoma.
