While the mainstream media mostly ignored the event for fear of being accused of racism for simply having the temerity to cover it, crowds of President Trump's loyal supporters gathered Saturday night in Conroe, Texas for the first Trump rally of the 2022 mid-term election cycle. Because even if he isn't on the ballot, Trump is still indisputably the most important figure in Republican politics - even if Democratic prosectors are trying to "put me in jail", as he (correctly) proclaimed at one point during the event, much to the astonishment of the Twitterati.

The "Save America" rally was the first Trump rally in Texas since he lost the White House, and will be followed by other stops across the South and Midwest.
