Rally for random things like my sanity for help

When it comes to comparing the Rally to Restore Sanity and/or  Fear, it doesn't really follow the "model" of a social movement. The entire thing is a passive aggressive irony towards social movements. There isn't much rhyme or reason to how this rally came together. There isn't really a main idea to it except to be aggressively ironic towards social movements. There is suspicion that it was just a some sort of political ploy to confuse those "young" and new voters in the midst of midterms. It doesn't have much of a trend to it considering it was two satirically "movements" that turned into one because they thought it would be funny and cool and all that wild sh!t. If I had to categorize the organization of this rally, I would say chaotic. Although, there isn't much rhyme or reason to, they still had enough organization to plan for all of these famous people to come and make some sort of appearance. The purpose of this movement was to be aggressively ironic, so I guess there wasn't really much of a purpose, but to be satirically and strategic at the same time. Ayyoo
