Pro-Trump rallies in 36 states canceled [View all]

"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."
