Turned out to be a major flop.

Quote:What was hailed as the "Mother of All Rallies" turned out to be more like the Baby of All Rallies, drawing not even 200 people to the National Mall in Washington D.C. on Saturday. But despite being billed by its promoters as the "Woodstock of American Rallies," turnout for Saturday's "Mother of All Rallies" was low. Real low. According to reports, attendance for the conservative pro-Trump rally fell significantly short of initial expectations.

Someone cracked that they had seen bigger crowds at Whole Foods.

I blame lack of prenatal rally care.

So.... it's Obama's fault?

So, you know that Obama is completely under the control of Deep State, right? It was Obama's fault before he got elected, man!

Between this and the Boston rally after Charlottesville, I think we're getting a good gauge of American public opinion. Perhaps I'm being optimistic, but it seems that Americans are rejecting Trump's views.

Now Trumps defenders will start arguing about the number of people at something again. Let the lame excuses flow.

I dunno...if they stopped trying to provoke shit in liberal cities and rally in areas more sympathetic to...say, the Klan...they might draw better numbers.

But generally, yeah, I think you're right.

Was this the Juggalo rally ??

I'm confused . . .

And you've got a good point too. Of course, "racists rally in Shitsplat, Mississippi" might not garner quite the same headlines.

I can understand why they're marching in more liberal places; they're trying to send the message that "we're everywhere". Never mind the fact that they have to fly people in from 2000 miles only to be outnumbered by locals. But hey, whether they're buying tickets from Delta or tiki torches from Walmart, they're expending resources not only in service to a lost cause ™ but also to their own impoverishment.

I have to laugh about the tiki torches. That seemed right out of a Mary Shelley novel. Except who's really the monster?
