Remember these guys?
Believe it or not, these are the people who are going to "overthrow our government":

I promise I'm not making any of these with AI.
MULTIPLE VIDEOS AT LINK!...................
Look at all these people!
Gotta leave this random speech here too.
Pretty sure Trump is doing a better job of overthrowing the federal government than these commies!

I wonder if the mayor-elect of NYC will be there.
Literal clown show.
Literal clown show.
Cue Stealers Wheel and Mr. Blonde
It was yesterday. I live in the area and didn’t hear anything about it at all.
Nancy Drew was down there filming. It was pretty dead. She said the cops had set up an area for these clowns to march in and there were about 5,000 people. So not much of a protest. Trump didn’t even bother to put riot fencing around the White House.
Had to laugh at "Spockâs Love Child" who wrote "None of these women need to worry about being conscripted into the conservative breeding program. They wonât make the cut."
Geez, I had forgotten that the homoleftists were supposed to hold an insurrection yesterday. Looks like they did, too.
Honestly, the Handmaids Tale theme is getting so trite at this point. On the other hand, those costumes look expensive so I canât fault them for wanting to get their moneyâs worth by continuing to wear them
QUestion: “whatever happened to the plan to surround the white house, the capital, and the supreme court on November 5th?”
Grok: “The plan you’re referring to appears to stem from a call by the activist group Refuse Fascism (affiliated with broader left-wing networks) for a mass nonviolent protest in Washington, D.C., on November 5, 2025âthe one-year anniversary of Donald Trump’s 2024 election victory. Their stated goal was to “flood DC” and physically surround the White House, U.S. Capitol, and Supreme Court as a form of sustained resistance to what they described as a “fascist regime,” urging participants to return repeatedly until their demands (including Trump’s removal from power) were met.
The group framed it as a rejection of “rigged elections” and emphasized nonviolence, but critics on the right labeled it an attempt to incite overthrow or chaos, drawing parallels to past events like January 6, 2021.As of today (November 6, 2025), the action unfolded on a much smaller scale than advertised, with no widespread surrounding of the buildings or significant disruptions reported.
Here’s a breakdown of what happened based on real-time coverage:
Scale and TurnoutLow Participation: Organizers had hoped for “millions” to converge, but estimates from D.C. police and media on the ground pegged attendance at under 5,000 across scattered rallies near the National Mall and Lafayette Square. Crowds were dwarfed by typical tourist traffic, and no coordinated perimeter formed around the targeted sites. Many participants were local activists, with buses from out-of-state chapters bringing in a few hundred more.
Fragmented Events: Protests kicked off around noon with speeches at Freedom Plaza, focusing on anti-Trump chants, signs decrying “fascism,” and calls for impeachment or mass non-compliance. Smaller groups marched toward the Capitol and White House but were rerouted by barriers and police lines. A separate rally near the Supreme Court drew about 200 people, mostly symbolic with no attempt to encircle the building.
Security and Response Heavy Fortifications: D.C. authorities, anticipating unrest based on the group’s rhetoric and online buzz, had already installed 8-foot riot fences around the White House, Capitol, Treasury, and Vice President Harris’s residence days in advance. The full 3,300-officer D.C. police force was on 12-hour shifts, backed by federal agents and National Guard on standby from nearby states. Street closures and parking bans were in effect from November 4 onward.
No Major Incidents: The day passed peacefully overall. One notable arrest occurred mid-afternoonâa man with a torch and flare gun (smelling of fuel) was detained while attempting to enter the Capitol Visitor Center, but he was quickly released after questioning with no charges filed. No injuries, property damage, or clashes with counter-protesters were reported. Businesses in the area boarded up preemptively, but looting fears proved unfounded.
Aftermath and Broader ContextMedia Coverage: Mainstream outlets like CNN and The Washington Post gave it brief mentions as a “muted anniversary protest,” while conservative sites (e.g., Not the Bee) highlighted it as evidence of left-wing overreach that fizzled. Social media amplified rumors pre-event, but post-event chatter focused on the turnout flop.
Group’s Reaction: Refuse Fascism issued a statement late yesterday calling it a “strong start” and vowing to escalate with weekly actions, but internal posts suggest frustration over low mobilization amid competing progressive priorities like climate summits.
Why It Faded? Factors included rainy weather, counter-messaging from moderate Democrats urging electoral focus over street action, and fatigue from a year of smaller anti-Trump mobilizations. Broader public sentiment post-2024 election has shifted toward policy debates rather than mass unrest.”
Everything they do is so trite. No logic, no carefully thought out position papers, no critical thinking, no cogent argument...just inane costumes, months long camps on the streets, chanting in megaphones, banging drums, wearing black, etc.
But I wanted to see aerial shots of a rainbow sea - liberally sprinkled with ANTIFA black - surging against marble and steel; spilling into the Potomac; backed up in drifts radiating out from I-495... and other stuff.
They didn’t have enough people to create decent riot................
Exactly.
Exactly đŻ

I do like the Rubber Chicken costume.
Please don’t talk them out of it!!!!
I Admire Their Dedication!

That “Rubber Chicken” costume
Costs 60 Bucks!

Cluck me.
“refuse fascism” is a cover for communists and muslims to act violently and sow discord. They are the fascists.
Fascists suppress dissent, and support a group identity above the individual.
In Latin the word relates to a “band” or “ribbon” which supports an entity. There isn’t any group more fascist than communists or muslims.
Old trick. They accuse their enemy of doing what they themselves are doing. Lots of ignorant ex hippies, scared liberal women, grifters, and criminals are the foot soldiers for the muzzies and commies
