Even if there were 4 people in every single car there, that entire parade would only be about ~1.3% of their ballots and ~ 1.1% of their registered voters.

Trump parade: ~ 7,000 cars.
Registered voters in that county: ~ 2.5 million.
Votes cast in that county: ~2.1 million.

1. When you're talking about the number of voters being in the millions, a parade of 7,000 cars is meaningless.

2. It also occurs to me that there was (probably) no requirement for the people in that parade to actually be FROM Maricopa county. It seems entirely possible that people from other counties nearby with nothing to do drove there to be in the parade. I mean you wouldn't even have to get out of your car.

3. The demographics in Maricopa county are more or less 1/3 democrat, 1/3 republican, 1/3 independent. So although it had not happened for 70 years up until that point, it would actually be relatively easy for independent voters to swing the outcome of any election there.

Is it meaningless? People don't usually go to rallies, so a turnout of 7K is pretty large.

I don't really understand the circumstance, but what I can say from the first time hearing about this, it seems strange for a county to have a rally when they usually don't.

Sure. 7k is a pretty big car parade. Especially for a parade I'm assuming was like a grass roots kinda thing... Someone on Facebook there might have started it for all I know. I'm not saying it is "meaningless" as far as organizing a large community event for people to express their support for a candidate.

I'm saying it's "meaningless" in the context of being any sort of evidence of voter fraud. ....which is what the OP is doing..or at least implying.

That entire parade as large as it was, was still only about 1% of the total voters there... at most. It's as if people completely forgot what "the silent majority" means.

I do remember! I was there, as a matter of fact, and the voter turnout was insane! Considering that typically only about 60% of people who can vote do vote, and considering a lot of people were tired with the Trump Administration, and also considering another 6% of people across the US voted in this election relative to other elections, it's not that hard to believe. I've talked with younger people who are just now being able to vote, and a lot of them are voting Democrat. Sometimes demographics change over time. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Why do you think schools no longer teach economics to kids in high school
0 ups, 3y,

Economics is actually still required where I went to high school. I have family still going there, and it's a required class to graduate. I feel it'd be odd *not* to teach econ. Learning how supply, demand, scarcity, etc. work is an important thing to learn in order to understand how things work. Speaking of which, Government is also a required class there, which, in my opinion, should also be taught.

That was covered pretty early on, albeit not those exact words. Supply, demand, opportunity cost, and logistics. Nothing in society comes for free, even resources as basic as rocks or sticks, and greed will always prevent people from doing the right thing. Communism would be great, if it worked, but it doesn't and it won't. Socialized policies might, and we already have some, like water, electricity, police, roads, education, et cetera, but that doesn't come for free either, and it never will. It comes in the form of taxes, which everyone gives off of their paycheck.

Yep. Frankly Economics is really easy to understand. It's the know-it-all-know-nothings that make it more complicated than it should be. Of course the biggest roadblock to a strong economy is and has always been Government.

I mean, yes and no. Governments prevent large economic players from acting with free reign, which is both a good thing in some cases and a bad thing in others. For example, if companies could get away with it, they could easily put cheaper but more harmful additives into their products. It's the government's job to prevent things like that with inspections and regulations. But at the same time, too much bureaucracy can lead to the stifling of productivity, because nobody wants to go through the proper channels to do something. It's all a balancing act.

Unfortunately the bureaucracy can't be fired like a business. Screw up in a private sector job, get fired. Screw up working for the bureaucracy nothing happens or worse get promoted. Heck, the word itself is a pain in ass in terms of trying to spell it!
