The Photo That Sums Up the 'Far-Right' Rally That Terrified DC and Liberal America

Did anyone really show up for that super scary far-right rally on Saturday? The “Justice for J6” rally was supposed to be ‘insurrection part II: endgame.’ The barricades were set up again around the US Capitol. The police were everywhere; they were decked out in full-blown riot gear. They were prepared this time. They were prepared…for the media? Yeah, typical elite media whiff here. There were more media members than actual protesters. The threat was exaggerated. The liberal media may not know this yet, but even prior to January 6—the far right in America is…not big. There are probably more people watching a WNBA game than there are members of the far-right that the liberal media thinks are on the cusp of taking over everything in America. At any rate, the rally was a dud (via WaPo):

The most anticipated visit by right-wing activists to the nation’s capital since a mob stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 ended with a whimper Saturday, as demonstrators supporting the rioters found themselves far outnumbered by police, journalists and counterprotesters.

...

Police made just four arrests throughout the day, seizing two weapons. The relative peace and quiet was a welcome turn for the U.S. Capitol Police, whose leaders endured blistering criticism in the months after Jan. 6 for inadequate security.

This was known to everyone but the establishment media. We all knew this wasn’t going to be a big deal. The photo of the undercover federal agents at the rally trying to blend into the crowd was the highlight of the event. The picture says it all–and it generated some grade-A memes and commentary.

"Justice for J6" was more of a “FED gala.”

Curious... what were your findings about sock colors this morning?

Inconspicuously glancing while I was on the treadmill, I noticed either people were wearing no socks (mostly guys), or light colored socks (pinks, etc. - the girls) and the older guys were white or had sweats on that went all the way down to their shoes.

Will have to do some more observing (without looking like some creepy dude) to get a significant sample size tomorrow.

I’ve heard they hire many directly from elite schools. That way they can mold the new hires to their liking..

Thanks— I’m not buying the “black athletic socks are normal” line of reasoning.

Okay, day two of observations. n=about 40 people in the gym this morning when I went. About 60% female, 40% male. About 25% black, the rest white with a smattering of other ethnicities. My part of the state is really diverse ethnically, but it seems as if everyone gets along.

1) A disturbing amount of people wearing athletic shoes with no socks at all, mostly male. Weird.

2) Of the males that I saw with socks, both white and black, most had short ankle type white socks.

3) There were four guys with black socks, two in athletic shoes and one with what looked like black Rockports. One looked like he had black anti-thrombotic stockings on, so that didn't count IMHO.

4)As observed earlier, most females with socks tended to have light grays, light pinks etc.

Black socks with black sports shoes is okay, so that leaves 3. Not bad!

[Albion Wilde]

Oh, and one of those was compression hose, so that leaves 2 out of 40 - 5%.

Not an overwhelming majority, I’d say.

Not even a trend.

I have no idea why this bothered me so much.
