Trump Rally on 6 January, 2021 at Washington Monument

At the Trump rally in DC, which started at the Elipse, from the Washington Monument toward the White House, the crowd was already large and growing by 9 am. 

The audio system was completely inadequate to the task. Most participants could hear something was being said; few could understand what was being said.

There was a strong ethnic Chinese presence, protesting the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and warning against CCP world domination. 

They may have been the largest, most organized group as a part of the Rally/Protest. Even so, they were a small minority. The large majority of the attendees were unorganized Trump supporters. 

There was not much of a plan, and quite a bit of hope. 

The protest was remarkable. It was middle aged and middle class. These were people with jobs, families, and things to lose. 

They were there because they saw the Republic at risk.

This was before the march on the Capitol. People were frustrated and angry. They were mostly middle aged and middle class.

An article at AmmoLand is expected shortly, but I have to pack and catch a plane back to Arizona.

Thank you for your perspective.

You don’t get that from the MSM.

They only care about peoples feelings and perspectives if it’s BLM and ANTIFA protesting.

Thanks. There’s so much people would be upset about now.

More than 99% of the Trump people did NOTHING wrong.

I am convinced there were ANTIFA,BLM, and other “plants” agitating for a fight. Some Trump supporters whipped up by the moment were sucked in.

Were BRICKS thrown at the Police?
Were FROZEN water bottles thrown at Police?
How many police were hospitalized?
How many NATIONAL buildings were torched and vandalized?

Trump needs to have Press Conference to point this and other things out. He never incited violence. Is it illegal to be outraged? We had 4 months of rioting in the spring and summer that were never condemned!

I bet those are the Falun Gong practitioners — the people behind The Epoch Times. As individuals I think they’re generally pretty nice folks, but I don’t think their interests are not necessarily consonant with American interests. For this reason I’d advise anyone reading any of the Epoch Times’ reporting on the CCP to do so with some skepticism.

You find a lot of information in the Epoch times you do not see other places, especially in the old dominant media in the United States.

They are today’s equivalent of The Washington Times 20 years ago.

Yes, and Washington Times was owned by the Unification Church (a.k.a. the “Moonies”.) I think The Epoch Times is following the Unification Church’s model in trying to appeal to conservatives.

They won’t prosecute Antifa instigators.

Photos, Reports Show ANTIFA Infiltrators Stormed the Capitol Building

Liberals instigated violence at Trump’s rallies in 2015 and 2016 to make conservatives look bad.

The same thing is happening here. And it was done to justify systematic oppression of conservatives by Biden-Harris AND scare Republicans into rolling over on the Electoral College vote that was going on.
