A "Q-Patriot" named Scott McKay held an event last night in St. Cloud, Minnesota, and a video he posted is really something

2. What are they chanting?

Sounds like gibberish…

[jcgoldie]

4. "hold the forkin' line"?

Quite a diverse crowd...

[rurallib]

5. I took it as "Hold the forking line"

no idea what that might be in reference to

[Patton French]

7. Me either..

..definitely gibberish.

12. They're singing that Toto song.

"Hold the line, love isn't always on time." No?

3. They sure are...white.

[Probatim]

6. And doughy...

On edit - as a doughy white guy, I'd probably pass in that group (except I'm not a lunatic).

10. Surprisingly, St. Cloud has a rapidly growing Somali community

I believe they make up the majority of births at the local hospital now. The local paper has a bunch of birth announcements of children named Muhammad every month.

As you can expect, the old, white, Trump-loving majority is shitting bricks over being replaced. That would include most of my family who still live there.

I grew up near there and went to St. Cloud State University.

8. "Hold the Courts in line"?

So, is attacking the courts their next line of defense?

[markie]

9. "Hold the Line"

is their rallying call... could be "Hold the freakin' Line" or "Hold the _____in line" doesn't matter... it started with “Hold the line! March 4 can’t come soon enough.” when they believed that TFG would be reinstated on March 4...

it is a cult and it is lunacy

11. Didn't see one mask

In that room of shouting, cheering idiots. Vaxx?

[NickB79]

14. I wouldn't be surprised if some of my family was in that video

Very few vax up there. Even fewer wear masks. Only my mom is vaccinated, and that's because her job mandated it.

I haven't seen any of them in two years now. Until my 11 yr old daughter is fully vaccinated, and I get my booster, we're not going to visit. Even then, I don't know. The realization that almost all my family are such brainwashed, racist Trump fans makes me question if I'll ever speak to them again.

13. Middle and older age white.
