To Welcome Trump, Poland Taps Old Communist Party Playbook

Debate Information

Back when Poland was part of the Soviet bloc, the Communist Party would bus people into Warsaw from the provinces to ensure there was a compliant crowd to welcome high-level visitors from Moscow. 

Now with President Donald Trump heading to Poland this week for a day-long state visit, the country's right-wing government is tapping the old playbook. 

"Every deputy from PiS [the Law and Justice Party] is allowed to invite 50 people to Trump's Thursday appearance in Warsaw and the party will pay for the bus," Joachim Brudzinski, vice-marshal of the Polish parliament.

    It reminds me of the Democrats busing people to the election polls.

    This isn't really a Communist thing, it's just a political thing.

    Just this year in the UK we had Theresa May campaigning almost exclusively to crowds of Conservative activists.

    The logic is simple. If you're a politician you want to look popular > Big crowds are a sign of popularity > Get as many activists as you can to attend your own rallies to make yourself look popular!

    Very different from busing people to the election polls, which is a good and helpful practice to help people exercise their right to vote.

    Trump did something simialar, he constantly made it seem as if he was winning no matter what the polls or media said. People want to be on the winning side and some voters could have switched to Trump after they thought the outcome was already finally predicted by the candidate or then candidate.
