Staaaaaaaaay home this weekend DC!

Let the goons LARP about with no one to confront except DC’s 42 separate police forces.

VIDEO THREAD: Last night, a caravan of Trump supporters heading to DC led by Infowars' Owen Shroyer in an armored truck stopped in Richmond, Virginia.

The pitstop became a sort of rally, attracting Trump supporters, militia and boogaloo activists, and BLM counter-protesters.

The president will attend the Very Organic Rally organized by the proud boys (amongst others) who have surprising traction within MAGA despite deciding this week to be more openly about white identity!

But really: stay home DC.

Ditto. Ignore. Then, when there is violence and destruction, we don't get the blame. lindysalsagal Nov 2020 #1

with one other person. She's my brother's SO and she needs to go up to the foothills and pick up their motor home and get it home before winter sets in. He's in the hospital right now (non-covid related so far) and can't do it. It's snowing in the mtns this weekend, though the camp site is only a few hundred feet up-snow levels should stay above 3000 feet. But as November goes on, it only gets worse.

Wish me luck. Not going through any big cities, but will be traveling thru our version of Trumplandia.

I hope the only confrontation they run into is between them and police trying to enforce the local gun laws. We should definitely stay out of the way.

...and then break things to blame ANTIFA/BLM/Socialists/Anarchists/Democrats/etc., etc., etc.

And honestly, some that we support will not be able to help themselves and get in the mix.

Hope this turns out to be (yet again) one emabarrasing nothingburger in support of Trump.
