An Anarchist's Adventure in Trumpland, Nevada

• https://www.lewrockwell.com

Every four years me and a few of my politically interested friends fly out to Las Vegas to relish in permitted debauchery while observing the Republican Caucus circus. Needless to say, it's usually a Grand Old Time, and (most of us) are quite capable of blending in with boiler-plate conservatives to get an up-close and personal feel of the scene. Think of our excursion as a morbid and irreverent intrigue of where the U.S. political pageant show is headed.

Of course, our primary mission was to have a complete Donald Trump experience, which we accomplished by staying at the Trump International Hotel, attending his large pre-caucus rally at the South Point Arena, and visiting his "watch the results party" at Treasure Island. And yes, we did gamble in between events. 23 red for the win, by the way.

When we arrived at the hotel, I was surprised that it didn't have a casino. I guess this means President Trump won't be gambling our tax dollars away. Everything in the place was squeaky clean, and the staff was very professional and helpful. Perhaps Donald can remake the DMV in his image? If that happened, I honestly wouldn't mind if everything in the U.S. was labeled with Trump, just like this hotel.

These complimentary Trump truffles were actually quite delicious. I kept the box and the Trump shower cap as keepsakes.

We arrived at the rally about an hour after the doors opened, and assimilated into a massive line of people, which snaked its way through multiple rooms. Fortunately, this gave us enough time to finish our abnormally large flask of Woodford Reserve before its inevitable confiscation by the SS (that's the Secret Service).

By the time we entered the arena it was very full of all sorts of middle class, conservative-looking Americans. Some were plainly dressed while others sported their favorite pro-Trump or anti-Hillary t-shirt. I believe that our "Make America Great Again" red hats, which were made in China and available for purchase at the hotel convenient store, aided our deft maneuver to the limited floor seating area.
