Curt Schilling's Trump Rally Draws A Thronging Crowd of Sixteen People

There's a reason why all of Curt's online supporters are Twitter eggs and Pepe the Frog avatars—because disgusting people like him are averse to showing their faces in public.

Curt Schilling's political career is starting out great, folks. He's a man of three the people, and so it's a natural transition for him to have gone from bloody-sock 'war hero' to failed video game entrepreneur to asshat pundit to being unemployed to being a politician. And in his first act after (kinda, sorta) declaring that he will run for Massachusetts senate, he decided to hold a Trump rally just to show his political clout. And people are responding well to it. Like, five people are.

Schilling has been losing his gourd in public recently, by appearing on TV (ironically on a show called "The Intelligence Report") and ranting about how pretty he thinks young girls are, how gorgeous his young son is, and how it's natural for adults to comment on children's hotness—like his hero Trump does. And as if a 24-hour period wasn't enough time for him to think back and reconsider his thoughts on hot children, he went on the radio, dropping multiple four letter words, and doubled down on his defense of adults predicting the hotness of young children. Then, just yesterday, he went on CNN and wondered aloud why Jewish people vote democratic, and basically asked Jake Tapper, "as a jew" why this is.

For Trump, that kind of shit is a way to end your political career. But in Schilling's mind, this is the perfect jumping off point. In fact, it's exactly his racist, misogynist rhetoric that has drawn a spotlight to him in the first place—as if being anti-politically correct makes you automatically political. So at the Trump rally he organized today, should he be surprised that only 16 people (by my count from the photo, even including the people there to film it) showed up to support his support of Trump? Let's just say there's a reason why the majority of your online supporters are Twitter eggs and Pepe the Frog avatars, Curt—because disgusting people like you are averse to showing their faces in public.
