Billing it as the largest Trump rally in U.S. history, an aggregation of red-hatted Donald Trump fanaticscomprised almost entirely of far-right extremists of a variety of stripes, working alongside ostensibly mainstream conservativeshave 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 whos 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 Politicos Tina Nguyen reports, the Saturdays march from the Supreme Court building and down the National Mall is largely the coalescence of several fronts of interconnected pro-Trump activismprimarily 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.

(12,389 posts)Maybe between 5000 and 10000 people will turn up.
Faux will say 250K, OAN will say 1.5 Million.

(12,600 posts)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.
