No matter what we say here, the number of people showing up for "stop the Steal" in DC

is still frightening. That even this number of people have been gaslighted into believing the 2020 election was rigged is fucking unbelievable. "Stop the Steal" a really big super spreader event wherever it occurs. I feel for our innocent citizens in those cities and counties where they are coming out light roaches in a dark kitchen. Now we have to wait for another two weeks for the COVID outbreak in DC and Atlanta.

We need to be extra vigilant in mask 😷 wearing, hand 🖐 washing and social distancing who knows what these clowns will bring back to their community.

DC....banner, decorated cars...so many people they shut down the subway system. We had to walk from our hotel to the march...you could barely move there were so many people...they had barricades up but so many people packed in ...some started passing out so they removed them...they locked up the porta potties but a few with metal cutters took care of that and they gave up and opened the rest. The Smithsonian stayed open against orders for the marchers and we could use their bathrooms. Signs had to remain outside. It was a wonderful day. And I think of that time as the beginning of the end for Trump.

Or they don't really believe, but it suits their agenda to push the rhetoric. Cons supporting a con. They have at most 5k for their shitty "protest". That it is a super spreader event is on the institution that allowed this bs. No one should be allowed to have a mass event. And we know who will be victimized by it.

These folks are superspreading...
They are pissed off whiners who are mad because democrats actually got easier voting this time around...

They claim fraud because their devious plans of suppression didn't work this time.

That's the beauty of mail in ballots..people can safely fill it in at home, and can mail it or drop it off..no need to wait in the rain or snow for hours..

Repubs used to be the ones who used absentee ballots, but this time around demo beat them at their own game..

Sadly, red states will probably never again make absentee/mail in ballots so easily available.

fools in one place given some of Trump's previous events. Hardly any of them have masks on so by the time it all shakes out at least a quarter of them will be paying for ventilator time. It's nothing to stew about. We know they're there and we know nothing - probably not even Trump at this point - will pull them from their conspiracy theories and alternate universe.
