Many people are saying there will be a large gathering outside of the White House on Thursday.
Thousands of patriots expected outside the White House on Thursday to protest Trump. Many people are saying this is the largest protest yet.

Don Winslow @donwinslow:
Just imagine what car horns, bullhorns and other noisemakers would do Thursday night around The White House when Trump is speaking. It would really be embarrassing for Trump if thousands of people showed up and just made a shitload of NOISE during his speech on the *SOUTH LAWN*
Fun facts: FIREWORKS can be heard blocks away from the location they are launched from. So can SIRENS.

(977 posts)although there are many legal fireworks which make a lot of noise. Sadly, though, only a small subset is legal in DC and not enough to make any difference.

(34,857 posts)If Trump loses this election, there will be many inflection points - but if he loses by the margin he trails in the polls right now, I suspect you'll be able to tie it back to the event at the White House where he gassed protesters to clear them out for the photo-op. At that moment, he lost a lot of support in the polls.
I suspect another night like that would be even more devastating than just loud horns in the background of his acceptance speech.

(34,136 posts)Then do nothing. No one shows up, no noise, nothing. I could see Dolt being all nervous during his RNC speech, worrying about being interrupted, with the WH surrounded by troops and security. Then **crickets**.
Dolt45 would have a meltdown in the middle of his speech with the anticipation he's going to be interrupted.

(10,885 posts)how would you then convey to the masses "please be a no-show" without the administration hearing of that also? Surely, they'd pick up on that if everyone else did.

(10,885 posts)many - I"d think - will be traveling to be on site. That would be a real mess to reverse everyone as soon as they land in DC. Chump and his minions would play up the resulting clusterf***, and the Dems and protesters would look ridiculous.
csziggy
(34,136 posts)If Dolt does what I'd expect from his past actions, he'd send troops after them with major offensive actions. If there were thousands just standing, holding protest signs but quiet, that would really show how fascist this administration is.
Again, Dolt would be unhinged by what he would expect the protestors to do versus the actual events.

(5,810 posts)that the element of surprise is critical to pull it off effectively. Nothing tRump would like more than squashing such a protest so he looks like the strongman.
Telling the White House days in advance you intend to embarrass him on his big night seems to me to be a guarantee you will fail to carry out your mission. Just sayin.....

Fiendish Thingy
(15,616 posts)And the mics to pic up the audiences applause can be turned off. This wont be like chopper talk, where there are various boom mics pointed towards the president.
The press wont have their own cameras or sound systems, all audio and video will likely be fed and controlled by the RNC to the press pool.
Probably the best they can hope for is to create enough noise so that the audience cant hear Trump when hes speaking. Doubtful they can disrupt the audio of the broadcast itself.
