But I think we are looking at this too narrowly. There are obviously other things afoot that have compelled the President to ask his supporters to be in DC on Wednesday (the 6th).
This was not an off-the-cuff statement. Trump has repeatedly urged us to come to DC en masse on Jan 6 and assures us that "it will be wild."
I think all of us can agree that if things were truly as bleak as portrayed by Larry's source, Trump would not be making this call. Does anybody who knows Trump seriously think he would have hundreds of thousands of supporters stand around in the cold in DC for hours, just to watch Congress perfunctorily make Biden the official winner?
Now I don't know what the plan is. Lot of possible scenarios going around on the Internet that I won't get into here because 99% of the them are probably fantasy. For example, one of these theories holds that we will have mass arrests of the coup/election fraud plotters in the days or hours leading up to Jan 6. I doubt anything dramatic like that is in the cards. But I am intrigued in why Trump is so adamant that we be there in huge numbers. If we end up just showing up to his "political funeral", it will be a very uncharacteristic way for Trump to go out.
I shall be among those on Jan 6. We'll see what happens. I have not lost hope.

Agree!
