Mike Lindell, pro-Trump conspiracy theorists fail to draw crowd at Kentucky rally

[hookaleft]

More than 10,000 people were expected. Fewer than 300 showed up

Some of the biggest names pushing pro-Trump conspiracy theories were unable to draw much of a crowd at a "We the People Reunion" rally in Kentucky.

"The event is hosting speakers such as the CEO of MyPillow, Mike Lindell, former national security advisor Michael Flynn and Pastor Greg Locke, who has in the past admitted to being at the Capitol during the January 6 Capitol riot," WFIE 14 News reported.

The station reported on attendance at the event.

"Promoters said they expected crowds of around 10,000 people. Fewer than 300 were at the event when 14 News arrived," the network reported.

2. 300 people? A little league game draws more.

5. probably 100 of them were FBI

Informants or agents.

7. The FBI should be watching these people. No one is stopping

them.

6. Two possibilities come to mind.

Either the novelty of the "big lie" is wearing off, or the big liars are faced with unanticipated (to them) circumstances that involve respirators and life support equipment.

Of course, both are possible, and even likely.

9. From what I've seen on social media, the Big Lie

is still quite popular.

I think them all dying of Covid seems more likely. There is a Reddit sub of Anti-vaxx Trump worshippers who post nonstop memes of how much they hate Dems, vaccines, masks, etc. Then they post they're Covid positive and how horrible they feel. Then they post updates of being in ICU and on ventilators. Most of them end up dead a week or 2 after infection.

Poor so and so got the hoax virus and died. Please send money.

11. That location is out in the sticks. Nearest small city is Central City.

I was shocked to read this from the News 14 (Evansville) article:

14 News was allowed in the parking lot to shoot some video, but was later asked to leave the fairgrounds. Any attempts made to speak with local leaders and event organizers have been denied.

14 News did speak with a group of women who fear that such a large event is dangerous during a pandemic.

“People are getting sick and they’re dying,” Powderly resident Rhonda Wood said. “Friends of ours, people we know, and we haven’t been able to stop it. We’ve tried, we’ve pleaded, we’ve sent requests - done whatever we could.”

Let's hope that's a good indicator of a little change of heart which should save lives. We're in desperate need of that state-wide!

16. Trial balloons to gauge support of their flag-wavers.

I think President Biden’s recent “talking to” took a lot of wind out of their flimsy sails.
