The MAGA Republican midterm convention in Dallas, Texas, quickly descended into chaos and absurdity, even before Donald Trump made his appearance. The event was plagued by a low turnout, with numerous empty seats in the stadium. The organizers' poor planning was evident in the stadium's setup, which closed off a significant portion of the seating area. The main podium even featured a glaring misspelling of "Dallas," with one of the 'L's missing.
