Is anyone here from a country NOT called USA where they pile up a bunch of people in the background of a politician who then gets applause for everything?
I have literally never seen this in Europe. In Germany, we’d probably consider this “weird” in case our politicians did that. Feels a bit like clicking the thumbs-up button of my own social media post…
They think showing support for their political side is the same as showing support for the sports team they like and what do people in the stands at a sports game do? Clap.
It shows that a lot of people don’t know what the hell is going on and they’re just there to be there thinking that’ll show hyper support for their party and they’ll have something to talk about.
It also shows that a lot of people view this as entertainment and forget about the ramifications of the outcomes of their choices with politics.
I sorta view it like the, “stupid people notice shiny objects,” thing.
