'No one showed up': Here's how Donald Trump's attempt to get MAGA into the streets fizzled



Donald Trump's efforts to get his supporters into the streets of Detroit on election day was dissected by The Washington Post on Wednesday.



At 2:28 p.m. eastern, Trump took to his Truth Social microblogging website to complain about voting in Michigan.

"The absentee ballot situation in Detroit is really bad," Trump posted. "People are showing up to vote only to be told, 'sorry, you have already voted.' This is happening in large numbers, elsewhere as well. Protest, Protest, Protest!"





Trump's call was not answered by his MAGA base.

"Unlike in 2020, when similar cries from the then-president drew thousands of supporters into the streets — including to a tabulating facility in Detroit and later to the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021 — this time, no one showed up," the newspaper reported. "After two years of promises from Trump and his supporters that they would flood polls and counting stations with partisan watchers to spot alleged fraud, after unprecedented threats lodged against election workers, after calls to ditch machines in favor of hand counting and after postings on internet chat groups called for violent action to stop supposed cheating, a peaceful Election Day drew high turnout and only scattered reports of problems."

1. He has supporters in Detroit? 6 or 7?

[DownriverDem]

13. Detroit &

the state of Michigan was ready if trouble would have happened.

[Carlitos Brigante]

2. "Detroit!!. Am I right?! You guys know what I mean(wink-wink..)!!.. Now who's with me?!!! *crickets*

[AZLD4Candidate]

14. Isn't Detroit filled with those people? You know who those people are? (nudge-nudge)

I remember a time when those people knew they place.

[Captain Zero]

20. Yeah too many people there.

I have a cousin in Ohio says her husband won't take her to a restaurant in Columbus that I recommended though she would really like to try it. I asked why not. She said well he just thinks there "are too many people in Columbus". I stopped for a moment and then thought. Oh, ok.
He's a Magat.
Hell no they aren't going into Columbus or Detroit. Too many people there.

[AZLD4Candidate]

22. Too many "others" there. Not enough "real" Americans.

And I don't qualify as a real American due to my religion and my mother's native American heritage.

[FlyingPiggy]

30. Idk why, but I still find it shocking people think like this in this day and age.

[SergeStorms]

31. I'm hoping this was their swan song.

Hopefully they'll realize - for once and for all - that the days of a White overclass are finished.
It's easier, and a hell of a lot stressful, if you just get along with each other. The color of a person's skin means nothing, because basically we're all just human beings.

There will always be outliers, but if the vast majority of people would finally get beyond skin color, the world would be a far better place on which to live.

[FlyingPiggy]

36. If I could I would give your post 1,000 likes. Well said.

[UpInArms]

37. When someone exposes their bigotry to me

I always ask what was on their birth application that made them “special”

I usually get a confused look, so I explain that no one gets to choose how they are born … into what race, religion or money …

It’s a game of chance and whatever privilege they think they have, they should be grateful and a lot more excepting

If that doesn’t shut them up, I just tell them to forever stay away from me, because they are unacceptable

.. and yes, I am old and out of fucks

Eta …

I am 17 with wrinkles and can still walk, talk, and chew bubble gum simultaneously.

[Crazyleftie]

3. and all of the phony media hype

about a looming civil war fizzled out as well

[Srkdqltr]

4. He has cried Wolf too many times.

[AZLD4Candidate]

15. Pretty soon, the arsefaced shytegibbon will be this.

[grantcart]

25. He has committed the #1 felony in politics. He has become boring.

[SWBTATTReg]

5. After so many attempts/efforts to cry 'WOLF', 'WOLF', 'WOLF"!! on the part of djt, it fizzled.

Ha ha heh. A sign that people are not listening to djt anymore, and his time has come to leave the 'room'. Idiot won't or can't read a room, so he'll hang on, but I suspect that things from here on out are going to get even worse for him.

It'd be a good time to start raining down those so-called indictments, eh?

[AZLD4Candidate]

16. Chicken Little screamed once too often.

[catbyte]

35. It could be that watching many of their fellow MAGAts slithering into federal prison

might've put a damper on his "call to arms" on Election Day. Plus, you know, "those people" in Detroit are scary.

[Farmer-Rick]

6. Last time he encouraged his wackos to protest

They killed police officers and tried to murder the VP and Speaker of the House.

But now....nothing. He called for a riot and no one came.

[barbtries]

7. his star is fading.

i swear if we could just stop talking about him he'd go all the way away.

(guilty as hell myself)

[Turbineguy]

9. It's been a long 15 minutes.

[Ray Bruns]

10. A very long 15 minutes.

[multigraincracker]

24. Ripped and torn in the wind, just

like his cheap flags and yard signs.

[central scrutinizer]

8. Why bother?

The chattering heads on Faux had been screaming “Red Tsunami” for weeks. The election was in the bag.

[tanyev]

11. Pssst, Donny! Nobody's looking at TruthSocial.

[Dan]

12. It's been a long time since I was there..... but

I suspect that Detroit ain't playing that MAGA shit.... It will not turn the other cheek on MAGA BS.

[Meadowoak]

19. The MAGA are pretty thick in Macomb County. Not so much in Detroit or Wayne County.

[PCIntern]

17. I'd like to see him try that in North Philly

They’d be a thin film on the sidewalk in no time.

[phoenix75]

18. With all of his current legal issues

and possible looming indictments, I believe he will be essentially irrelevant in the very near future. Just saying...

[rubbersole]

26. His ability to capture the news cycle is still there.

The election endorsement flop really hurt the pos. I hope you're right about the indictments and their effects.

[Hekate]

21. I am pleasantly impressed

[bucolic_frolic]

23. Why would MAGA go to vote when votes don't count? They want real action like a MAGA rally

Real to them, anyway.

[JohnnyRingo]

27. "The King has no clothes"

...And he finally walked past a full length mirror.

[geardaddy]

28. TFG pissing in the wind again n/t

[Ford_Prefect]

29. WAPO Story reprocessed by Rawstory.com

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/11/09/republicans-election-fraud-claims-midterms/

Trump called a riot and nobody came, or words to that effect.

[Crowman2009]

32. A lot of the MAGA crowd since 2020 has probably died from COVID.

Or just old age related ailments.

[Wounded Bear]

33. "his Truth Social microblogging website"

[ShazzieB]

34. Oh noes, he's losing his MAGA-manipulation superpowers! 😱

And with any luck, most of his candidates losing in the midterms will turn out to be his kryptonite!
