'Million MAGA March' Saturday will commingle white nationalists, conspiracists, Trump fans

Billing it as “the largest Trump rally in U.S. history,” an aggregation of red-hatted Donald Trump fanatics—comprised almost entirely of far-right extremists of a variety of stripes, working alongside ostensibly mainstream conservatives—have organized what they hope will be a massive demonstration of support for the defeated president Saturday in Washington, D.C.: the “Million MAGA March.”

The list of “prominent attendees” touted by organizers for the event is a virtual who’s who of the white-nationalist far right, and leading far-right figures and organizations have been organizing and ardently promoting it, not least being conspiracy-meister Alex Jones and his Infowars operation. The message of the whole event, in the words of Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes: “We must refuse to EVER recognize this as a legitimate election, and refuse to recognize Biden as a legitimate winner, and refuse to ever recognize him as the president of the United States.”



As Politico’s Tina Nguyen reports, the Saturday’s march from the Supreme Court building and down the National Mall is largely the coalescence of several fronts of interconnected pro-Trump activism—primarily the conspiracy-fueled “Stop the Steal” rallies that have been organized on Facebook to protest the election results at voting centers and state capitals, and those “Trump train” caravans featuring dozens of banner-flapping pickup trucks and accompanying thuggish behavior that became endemic in the closing weeks of the 2020 campaign.

The FBI will no doubt be present. I am guessing less than 5000 people. Really scary people no doubt but nowhere near a million.

will be blocked solid. What happens when the first fender bender goes down and it comes to a screeching halt..maybe they'll bring the left over semi trucks from the last rally round the capital wing ding to move them out of the way.

15. Get them all infected at once. Herd stupidity.

Sorry about your elderly parents and kids getting infected and dying, suckers. Maybe you can use your Trump flags to drape over their coffins

Maybe between 5000 and 10000 people will turn up.

Faux will say 250K, OAN will say 1.5 Million.

16. Probably it will be closer to 100 to 200, if past is prologue.

They've done this before -- claimed to be organizing a multi-thousand gathering to counter an anti-Trump rally -- only to have a couple of dozen people sitting in lawn chairs under Trump umbrellas.

Let them have their stupid super spreader event and we ignore them. They’re itching for a fight.

It's a political event so I think getting news coverage is actually totally appropriate. But I hope they end up having to just scream into the wind because everybody else is ignoring them.

I've never even called him "45". He's "00" as far as I'm concerned.
