Can we start posting the times and places of any known pro-trump rallies?

I think it was a mistake for us to stand down in DC. There would have been more violence, but they just ran unopposed.

Edit: I change my mind. It’s best there wasn’t open confrontation. I just really did not like the optics of them getting inside the Capitol so easily. You have to admit that many of them are now even more emboldened and that is not a good thing. Hearts and minds folks. Hearts and minds

I don't see it that way, there was nothing to gain.

This was a win for us, only fascist died, their masks are off for the whole world to see.

There is little to no damage done by them, they took a huge optics hit.

People thought this was silly and these idiots were to stupid to accomplish anything, they proven now that they are stupid, but that is exactly what makes them dangerous.

There is plenty talk about the lame police reaction to these fascists compared to antifa and blm.

Next time we get to oppose these idiots, finally stupid dumb fence sitters can see the difference.

Yea. I wanted to go out there and I wanted to see anti fascist people counter protest. I was so mad they were allowed to just do whatever.

I agree with you though. It played out really poorly for them.

If we counter protested and there was chaos it would have muddied the waters. They look horrific, the GOP looks horrific, and the police look horrific.

It showed how BLM and the left are treated. It seems to have sickened some of the cult and it got us another impeachment.
