Jesus. it looks like a parody of a North Korean propaganda bit, where they drag out kids to sing a song titled “The Patriotic People Will Overcome Against the Terrible West Thanks To Our Dear Leader’s Abundant Wisdom” ---

Trump’s official rally is better attended. ---

> [@davidm](#): > > Is that not an official rally? (I honestly don’t know.) If it’s not, then that makes this somewhat less troubling. No, the Trump one is official. I meant, apart from the message content, the Obama-oriented videos were not of significant events, so it’s not much of a comparison. The Trump one is a deliberate offering of the campaign itself. ---

This demands a mashup with some North Korean videos. ---

Yeah, the two Obama videos seem to have been created by a handful of supporters on their own. The Trump performance was at an official campaign event. Such events are usually carefully choreographed and presumably someone in the Trump organization approved this act. ---

That is Biblically bad. All it needs to complete the horror is rain of fire or a plague of frogs. I couldn’t finish it. The “music” appears to be played from a 1982 Casio. The lyrics are those of a fourth-grader on a patriotic kick. Just, ugh. Simplistic crap, just like The Donald’s campaign and his followers. I weep for the nation. ---

They could have at least found some kids that have rhythm. ---

If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a thousand times, this is what happens when every rock band in history sends a campaign a preemptive cease and desist order. This! ---
