Pro-Trump rallies in 36 states canceled

[Va Lefty]

"ACT For America released a statement to Breitbart, America’s number 1 website for adult virgins" "claiming that the cancellations were due to “the recent violence in America and in Europe.” ACT For America, which calls itself “the NRA of national security,” is now proclaiming Saturday, September 9th an online “Day of ACTion.” It’s not yet clear what the organization has planned, but it’s probably a safe bet that it will involve plenty of shitty memes."


"ACT For America had attempted to rally its followers on Facebook, but the showing was poor to say the least. Judging by a quick perusal of the Facebook events, it seems like the organization has had very little interest from the public, which is perhaps the real reason for the cancellation.

As of this morning the RSVP list wasn’t looking too promising:

Baton Rouge, Louisiana - 2 people going
Boston - 8 people going
Cape Cod - 8 people going
Mays Landing, New Jersey - 7 people going
Sebring, Florida - 2 people going
Washington, DC - 3 people going

A rally of fewer than half a dozen people isn’t very intimidating, and neo-fascists depend on that dynamic to instill fear. That’s kind of their thing."

1. Are you sure that's not a list of who's bringing pie to the bake sale?

All across America, mothers are groaning, "that lazy asshole in the basement will claim he is too busy to clean the garage like he promised."

9. We are stuck with him and his thug following tonight in Phoenix.

Tens of thousands opposing him will be out in force tonight protesting cheetolini. I will be out early.

10. Good on you!

I really hope more people show up outside to protest than are inside listening to that divisive POS.

12. LOL, not even enough response to cover 1 state per participant. Sad.

14. Cape Cod?

I'm surprised that 1.) that many right wing extremists signed up for such an event on Cape Cod, and that 2.) that many right wing sympathizers could find it on a map.

15. Somehow I doubt they had any intention of holding so many rallies

First, how are their meager numbers going to get the money together to go to all those rallies? They haven't impressed me as the sort of people with a lot of disposable income. Second, 36 rallies are just going to show how meager their numbers are. Sure, there might be a lot of Nazis near enough to Baton Rouge to fill a school bus, but you think you're going to get that kind of turnout in Cape Cod? Third, we're on to them. Wherever they decide to band together and show their ugly mugs in public, we're going to be there in overwhelming numbers, taking pictures and videos, and making these miscreants internet famous.

So bring it on, you numbskulls.
