Thus, handing out one pamphlet reaped the same payment as a pack of diapers.

On the one hand, one grandiose spectacle in the nation's capital, a panorama of propaganda put on by an aspiring autocrat.
On the other hand, thousands of assemblies of free citizens across the nation, authentic celebrations of the proposition that here the people rule.
