My boss and coworker were fangirling when Trump ‘won’ the debate against biden. I’ve legit seen them do the same thing with sports talk. Nevermind that Trump didn’t actually say anything of substance or truthful during all of that. I just didn’t acknowledge them.
To put this into perspective for all you Americans: In my country at least, we don’t have “rallies” at all. It’s not a thing. We have political debates and news broadcasts regularly where politicians from opposing parties are invited to speak their case, that’s it. Of course, parties also have stands in public places where they give out pamphlets and promote their party, but in those places you’ll likely find stands from a bunch of parties.
The way you do campaigning in the US is absurd to me.
The US election circus still is so weird to me, watching from Europe. I get a bit of campaigning but this has sports levels of insanity already.

That’s exactly right. People here think of it as sport as well. That’s why we’re stuck in this cycle.
