The “Million MAGA March” held in Washington D.C. over the weekend failed to live up to its name when only a few thousand people turned out to rally behind soon-to-be-ex President Donald Trump one week after he officially lost the election to President-elect Joe Biden.
The event was organized by Women for America First and stepped off from Freedom Plaza around noon on Saturday, with red-hatted attendees chanting “Four more years!” while waving Trump, American, and Confederate flags.

National Park Service was on site to keep an eye on things, but it became abundantly clear pretty early on that the march wasn’t going to require much, if any, crowd management.
Among those in attendance were antigay conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, former Tea Party activist Amy Kremer, about 100 members of the Proud Boys, and people from the far-right militia groups “boogaloo bois” and the Three Percenters.
How about we take this to the next level?

At one point, the crowd caught a brief glimpse of their cult leader, Donald Trump himself, when he cruised by in his motorcade on his way to the golf course and smiled gleefully from his car window.

Despite falling approximately 995,000 short of the 1 million people expected to attend the event, Trump’s camp still claimed it was a huge and historic success.
White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany tweeted: “AMAZING! More than one MILLION marchers for President @realDonaldTrump descend on the swamp in support. Best base in political history — we LOVE you guys!!!”
AMAZING!

No doubt the Trumpies have “alternative facts” that prove this was the largest rally in DC history…meanwhile my Trump-loving neighbors still have their yard signs on display…

What was so sad. The women’s marches and Black Lives Matter marches in DC were 20 times bigger AND multiple other marches were happening around the country at the same time.
Here, they had to import people from all over the country, there were no other marches going on around the country, and they STILL couldn’t get more than around 5000 people to come support Trump. That crowd they are showing is around half a block of DC. The gay Marches, Black Lives Matter, Women’s March etc. went on for miles.

It’s unwise to forget that the idiot got about 48% of the country to vote for him even if only a couple thousand are stupid enough to come out during an outbreak to march.
Cam
Why? Trump voters never worried that 3 million more people voted for Hillary Clinton.

Democrats need to learn to stop being “fair” to Republicans. They’ve shown that they’re willing to be complicit in a white ethno state agenda. They refused to condemn a president who has destroyed all presidential norms.
Republicans have clung to power despite being a significant minority by voter suppression, and investing heavily in to the red vs blue political polarization that keeps America dumb.
20 years ago Republicans were asking how they could adapt their platform to represent an increasingly diverse America. The GOP today is only interested in White Identity Politics and stoking white fear through racial dog whistles.

Angry white men who are upset that they only have some of the power that they used to have…

Trumpers don’t believe in science and apparently they don’t believe in math either.
But what the fk happened to that hat? I know the MAGA hats are made in China, but that one looks like it was made OF china!
cuteguy
I’m sure faux news reported it was a million ppl, just as accurate as a million moms nonsense used to intimidate sponsors. Can’t wait for Jan 20
jerkinns
How can she claim that it’s more even more than 1M when it’s clear to all the humans in the world who saw it that it is not? Amazing how Trump and his allies can lie just like that and their zealots believe them!

So far all commenting here don’t have a clue except for one person and then only in part. Believing everything the msm spews out is being a useful idiot (ref Communist policy). You have no idea what you voted for by voting for Beijing Biden. The Democrat Party is not your friend. The apparatchiks of said party use you like they do racial minorities. They pander for votes because they want only power. Then they do nothing to help you meanwhile leaving where you live in a horrible state. It’s just what they do. Finally many in minorities are waking up. It’s long overdue.
rickywintour
How about you go and help Don the con and his cult pack they shit out the White House since you love him so much. He lost and Biden won so you need to accept it. You Republicans can never be mature and concede defeat with dignity and grace. If you wanna be a self hating homo just say that but don’t bring that negativity here you troll. I promise Trump don’t care about you no matter how much you get on your knees for him.
MISTERJETT
nasty, you need to get your tongue out of dumb donnys behind. he’s already proven he doesn’t care anything about the country, and that includes you.
Cam
LOL!!! The Russian troll is so bad at it’s job it didn’t even bother to hide it’s Russian origin in the screename.
1. You’re trying to deflect from the simple fact that nobody showed up for this march, and it wasn’t the MSM that broadcast that picture, it was Trump’s own White House. LOL!
2. Sweetie, if you’re going to try to troll an American site, please tell your manager at the troll farm to trim the rough edges off your English grammar. You’re really really really terrible at this.
MISTERJETT
the fool is still tweeting that he won the election. he lies, but the numbers don’t. if he refuses to leave the White House on January 20th, i volunteer to help drag him out onto the street while singing Nancy Wilsons song “FACE IT GIRL, IT’S OVER”. he can walk out or get dragged out. either way, he has got to go!!!!!!!
Mister P
You somehow believe that Drumpf and the Repugnants are our friends?
Wake up to truth.

Just like the One Million Moms, who are considerably less than 50,000. Super moralists always have to lie.
Mack
There is only about 3,500 members of the OneMillionMoms. Every time they have a “petition” they only get 3,500 signatures give or take. One would think if you’re one million strong, you would get those members (or most at least) sign the petition.
GayEGO
I call them useless morons!

I wish the orange turd would concede the election because then we are done with the whole Trump family.

I wonder if the Trump brain is constipated!
bachy
These are the people whose heads explode when they see a gay person, a woman, or a POC speaking with authority and conviction on television. They cannot fathom that there are other American perspectives that are as legitimate as their own.

And THIS is why we have the same amount of Covid cases in the last week as we’ve had in the previous 9 months!

Please tell me they weren’t social distancing or wearing masks. Please. Please. Please.

Godwin’s Law be damned, it’s time to point out all the sad similarities between Donny T hiding in the White House, claiming victory in the face of defeat, while citing fraud without any evidence – and Hitler in his bunker, still raving about future glories and ordering troops that he doesn’t have to the front.
nm4047
70+ million Americans voted for him, so I wouldn’t get to smug about the turn out.
LMG
Why not? From the looks of that mob I’d be willing to bet that the large majority were too lazy to even vote – PERIOD!

Kayleigh McEnany is so full of $hit that her eyes are brown. Beyond disgusting.
