    Chanting “four more years” when confronted with genocide

    AFAICT, they were chanting because of a heckler in the crowd, not because of the content of the heckler’s speech. However, I would need a little more context to know for sure.

    But yes, his base is committed because they think he’ll do a better job than the opposing majority candidate (in this case Trump). I expect them to act similarly with any heckler and any opponent.

    Campaign speeches aren’t the place to have a round-table discussion with random people in the crowd, so it makes sense for the candidate’s base to want to drown out any opposition in the rally.

    I’m not a fan of Biden or Trump and will likely vote for neither, but that’s because I’m not in a swing state so my state will have a 20+ point spread.
