Former President Donald Trump recently took to the campaign trail, this time with the heavyweights of the GOP, including former Fox News (now Twitter) star Tucker Carlson. The duo rallied the faithful in Duluth, Georgia, where packed crowds got a good dose of patriotic fervor mixed with a side of good-natured ribbing directed at the left, notably a certain ex-Republican congresswoman turned Kamala Harris cheerleader, Liz Cheney. Carlson wasted no time mocking Cheney, referring to her as “Dick Cheney’s creepy little daughter,” which must have warmed the hearts of the audience. It’s not every day you get to see politics mixed with a bit of familial roast.
With the 2024 election looming, the stakes couldn’t be higher. Trump and his trusted allies are working harder than ever to solidify their support among a base that’s often tested but never defeated. Carlson and journalist Charlie Kirk brought their A-game to energize the crowd, uniting the faithful with a message that paints the Democratic Party as the villain in this great American narrative. Kirk went on to claim that the left embraces everything that God despises, perhaps bringing to mind images of the Party’s more questionable policies that make your head spin faster than a merry-go-round.

The rally’s main purpose seemed to be an all-out effort to mobilize Republican voters and even a few disillusioned Democrats who are fed up with the progressive agenda. Harris is doing her best to warm up to centrists, but good luck with that. Meanwhile, Trump held two events in Georgia—a marked shift from his approach in the last election cycle where he didn’t prioritize early voting as much. This time around, he’s actively pushing Georgians to ensure their ballots are cast ahead of the big day, with an event whimsically branded “Believers and Ballots.” If only the voters believed in the sanctity of their votes as much as they believe in America.
In yet another twist, Trump invited some former Democrats to address the crowd, namely Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard, who announced she’s switching parties a day prior. Gabbard, now a newfound ally in the Republican camp, ripped into the current administration, lamenting the unprecedented attacks on Trump—censorship, slander, and government overreach. She may have just gotten herself a VIP pass to a heap of GOP goodwill, and she probably couldn’t have timed it better.
Lastly, Trump took a moment to shower his supporters with compliments while also giving a shoutout to Georgia’s own Marjorie Taylor Greene and former HUD chief Dr. Ben Carson. With everything and everyone on his side, it was clear that both Trump and the GOP are not going to go down without a fight. The message from the night was crystal clear: love for country and the rule of law reigns supreme, and anyone who thinks otherwise just might find themselves labeled as part of that so-called “room full of freaks and misfits.” It’s politics as entertainment, and it seems the audience is here for the show.
