Why Was the J6 Rally a Spectacular Flop? Here are the Two Big Takeaways from Today's Failed Rally

Glenn Kirschner

The September 18 rally in Washington, DC, held in support of those who attacked the Capitol on January 6 was a spectacular failure. Estimate of attendees ranged from "fewer than 100" (the New York Times) to approximately 400 - 450 (NPR). By any measure, the event - organized by former Trump aid Matt Braynard - was a complete flop.

2. TFG also got "booed" at the last rally for suggesting to the MAGA'ts to get.... OMG... vaccinated.

Their great hero sided with "science" over the likes of Tucker Carlson... oh, wait a minute... who is also vaccinated.
Oh, but unvaccinated Phil Valentine said stay strong, trust in God, not the vaccine. Oh, he died of COVID.
Unvaccinated Dick Farrell said y'all be fine without the vaccine. What, he's dead of COVID too?
Unvaccinated Marc Bernier said "just say no!!" to vaccines. OMG, dead of COVID.
More and more MAGA's just might be learning, even a little, that they've been hoodwinked?
That buying the Jeebus pillow from Mike Lindell won't protect them or reinstate their orange fuhrer?
Or is that wishful thinking?

6. The hard cores were arrested after 1-6, the rest watched football today.

Anyone willing to pay for airfare, take time to go to DC and protest while being filmed by tons of media would be pretty hard core. Most of those were already involved in 1-6 and arrested.

The rest of these clowns are keyboard warriors, the most effort they would bother expending would be to maybe go over to the local school board meeting with a sign or send $20 to a campaign donation.

But they will be very excited to vote in 2022 and 2024, that they will do.
