(70,582 posts)Is it wrong for me to enjoy this?
My guess is that they will have maybe 5,000 tops.

(32,093 posts)I think it may have been a 2nd Amendment rally. They had more Porta Potties than they did marchers. Can't say I'm surprised at the outcome today.

mercuryblues
(14,537 posts)there will be 3 separate rallies
Million MAGA March: attending will be a who's who of white supremacy, q-non and the my pillow guy along with a few republican representatives and Gorka.
Stop the Steal: Organized by Alex Jones. EventBright took down their announcement (among others) when violence was promoted.
It is now a "caravan" with a variety of White Nationalist groups vowing to go to major cities in the USA.
March for Trump: Organized by Cindy Chafian of Women for America First, claims 10,000 people will attend
The counter protest will be held at 11:30 by Refuse Fascism and his calling for non-violence
bdamomma
(63,922 posts)In my opinion they (counter protestors) should not go. We won the election. Why fuel their fire??? Why play into white supremacy and fascists hands???

MagickMuffin
(15,952 posts)David Bowie did sing on it and help with the lyrics, but it is ALL Queen.
Songwriters: David Bowie / John Richard Deacon / Brian Harold May / Freddie Mercury / Roger Meddows Taylor
tavernier
(12,401 posts)I read in one of his biographies that Deaky came up with the riff and then they all went to lunch, agreeing to flesh out some music and words after. Upon returning he had forgotten it and panicked a bit, but... under pressure... Bowie finally remembered. And then, of course, the divas went right to trying to outdo each other. Lucky for us!
smirkymonkey
(63,221 posts)I cannot believe they are playing that song! Freddie Mercury and David Bowie would be rolling over in their graves if they saw this! It's disgraceful! How dare they use the music of people who would have despised them!

(12,401 posts)Brian May, on Instagram, wrote a long congratulatory letter to Joe and Kamala and the USA. He ended with, The whole world, like me, is rejoicing with you at the moment.

mucifer
(23,565 posts)I mean I dont expect it to be be huge, but this is still early. I hope the media focuses on it as much as it did the anti war protests leading up to Iraq. In other words no mention at all.
McKim
(2,412 posts)Yes, the media ignored our very large demonstrations or gave them a minute now and then. I hope they ignore this MAGA March too, but not likely. The media made a god out of Trump and can't resist covering him, though this is finally improving, now that it no longer matters!

I suppose we could also call it the WHITE of a Thousand Karens, judging from the composition of the crowd.

(47,589 posts)wrong with these people. Did he look in the mirror and say "Yeah, I look awesome"? How can anyone leave the house looking like that unless they're going to a Halloween party? The lack of self-awareness is stunning.

(47,589 posts)that is the primary problem with a large percentage of republican men. They don't know how to relate to women, so they take it out on the rest of us. They just reek of insecurity.

bdamomma
(63,922 posts)Counter protestors should not be there. Let the "radical right" be there.
Cause you know we will hear "the radical left" were there to stir up trouble.
You know these cult members are so messed up I wouldn't put it past them to stage conflict among themselves and say The "radical left" were there to cause trouble.
IsItJustMe
(7,012 posts)Yeah, black is white. White is black. Trump won the election. I know there are lots of delusional people in the world, being programed by lots of BS on the internet and propaganda channels like Fox News, but sorry to say, I think the plurality of Americans have drank them some Kool Aid and a capable of some real senseless stuff.
David__77
(23,508 posts)That is because I think it is important in general to confront fascists where they openly appear. I am thankful for anti-fascist activists. I also understand why many people would choose not to do this.
