White Lives Matter Marchers Despondent After Failure: 'I Was the Only Person To Show Up'

Attempts to organize far-right "White Lives Matter" marches in cities across the country failed spectacularly, with a number of planned events having almost no attendees or canceled entirely.

White supremacists, neo-Nazis and other extremists had coordinated dozens of rallies in cities such as Fort Texas, Chicago, Illinois and Orlando, Florida, all due to take place at 1 p.m. on Sunday.

The marches were planned and discussed on social media and encrypted messaging app Telegram.

However, there was no real indication that many of the White Lives Marches would be highly attended, with several dedicated channels for individual marches in cities having only a handful of subscribers.

The administrator who organized a march in Kenner, Louisiana, wrote on Telegram: "No one has shown up to the meetup point, it has been close to two hours since the technical start time for the march. We're gonna call it, the march is canceled. If anyone is still trying to make it, I advise you not to."

One Telegram user in Memphis, Tennessee, described how they "sat around the area" of the protest but "no one showed up" on Sunday.

The organizer of a white supremacist rally in Nashville, Tennessee, also added: "Welp, I was the only person to show up and after being here an hour and a half for nothing I'm going home."

In an almost empty Telegram group for a White Lives Matter protest in Norfolk, Virginia, one woman wrote: "Well that was pitiful."

stupid nonsense or their flat out bigotry.

Morons...they may recall the severe backlash when 1/6/2021 happened and how many of those who participated in the 1/6 insurrection attempt have been arrested, charged with a slew of criminal charges, since then.

And of course, their moronic leader, rump, is no where to be found or seen. rump knows he screwed up big time.
