re: If you need a sanity check, CNN headline: Comparing Trump rallies to a wrestling match

CNN deserves shite, but I think this headline is rational. I’ve used this analogy to specifically call out Jim Acosta. While he’s said that he’s feared for his life, he knows better than that. You can find dozens of photos online with him taking pictures with Trumpers at Trump’s rallies. This is not condescending in the slightest, but Trumpers are very comparable to WWE fans, Acosta knows this, and embraced being one of the villain wrestlers against Trump. They’re just there to have a good time and it’s why Acosta truthfully doesn’t fear Trump supporters. He loves the attention they give him.
