President Trump “resisters” are urging people to sabotage his New Hampshire rally this week by reserving free tickets and leaving the seats empty, instead protesting outside the Manchester arena — a strategy political operatives on both sides say won’t hurt Trump, and could backfire.

Sergio Siano, who describes himself as a progressive and a democratic socialist on social media, tweeted over the weekend about Trump’s rally this coming Thursday: “Let’s hit him where it hurts: his rally attendance. Book your two free tickets to Trump’s New Hampshire rally, don’t attend, and join us in protesting outside. Let’s make this go viral!”

Siano’s tweet surpassed 10,000 retweets and 15,000 likes Sunday afternoon.

“Good job #Resisters, this is going even better than I expected,” the New York resident wrote in response to the viral post. “Let’s keep it up! I want the venue at least half empty!”

I guess it's too much to ask any leftist to put aside the mickey mouse college radical tactics and actually engage on questions of policy.

Just as it’s too much to ask for them to have even a passing acquaintance with rationally.

“Let me see,” says rally director. “I see we have some no-shows and empty seats.”

He looks outside at the crowd of twelve thousand overflow and thinks, “Hmm, what’s to do?”

They're convinced that y'all are a blight and unworthy of anything but their contempt. I imagine many here probably feel the same way about them.

Oh well...  :coffee:

These activists are all little Alinskyite a$$holes who have no day jobs outside of government "service" and political agitation. The rest of us have to actually work for a living and therefore must frequently sacrifice our time and/or money to be able to go to a political rally held in the daytime on a weekday.

I might warn these outside agitators from NY, NJ, MD, CA, OR, etc. that unlike their Leftist states, we in New Hampshire are permitted to own and carry firearms openly as well as concealed, and many of us do.
