I've been here for those rallies -- "Tea Party" 2009 and "Restoring Honor" 2010. They are great fun and beneficial in many other ways. But they do not change minds, because they do not get reported!
WE know they happened; but the people you want to reach do not. That is just a fact.
Much better than 1 million conservatives traveling to DC for a weekend, would be for them to take that time and money and use it for Get-Out-The-Vote efforts where they live.
You of course will disagree; that's who you are. I will say only that we lost the House of Representatives in 2018 because we did not have enough GOTV.
Well, we need BOTH, I think. At the very least, it’s good to see tens of thousands of other like minded people instead of faceless ones over the internet.
They got reported. I saw with my eyes. They got twisted and spun to make it look like something it was not, but they got reported. The numbers and the crowds were reported. The visuals could not be denied.
And now we have a more pervasive internet, during a time when more and more people get their 'news' from the internet and fewer and fewer people believe the Fake Derp News.
You need to update yourself and get with the times. And understand that the majority (us) needs to see something other than hordes of the enemy in the streets.
It is bad of you to discourage public participation in OUR DEMOCRACY (haha. yea, I know).

I happen to know a bit about Antifa. Here is a sample of what I posted just the other day.

You have a serious problem in that you always think you know more than everyone else. YOU need to wake up, old man, because you don't.
You often make an ass out of yourself and you're a dick in the process.
You forget we are all on the same side here! Antifa wants us (the goods guys) to be divided. But, of course, you know that already....
Those movements got infiltrated and subverted, you know.
Today is a new New day. But my advice to you and most right now is to protect your family, hunker down, prepare for the worse... as always. Truly Patriots are in control right now. We will get through this and if needed we will rise up at the right time.
Thank you for confirming my point.
So you admit they got reported. Thank you for confirming my point and refuting your own.
I am encouraging people to stay away from DC and instead spend all that time and money on GOTV efforts locally.
How is that "discourage public participation in OUR DEMOCRACY"
Are you drunk, or do you simply just not read what people post?
National Guard in Washington D.C. are told NOT to carry guns or ammunition by Defense Secretary Mark Esper as he orders all active-duty troops out of the capital
UK Daily Mail ^ | June 06 2020 | DAILYMAIL.COM REPORTER and REUTERS

The Pentagon has told Washington D.C.'s National Guard and guardsmen from other states who have are in the nation’s capital not to use guns or ammunition.
The order came from Defense Secretary Mark Esper and made without consulting the White House, The Washington Post reported, and it's seen as a sign of de-escalation of the federal response to protests that sprung up in the wake of George Floyd's death.
Trump has pushed for a strong militarized show of force, calling himself the 'law and order president,' and earning him criticism from several retired military generals, including his former chief of staff John Kelly and former Defense Secretary Jim Mattis.
Of course I do. Because I know way more than you.
You have a serious problem in that you always think you know more than everyone else.
Cause I kinda do. You would too, if you kept the company I keep.
I'm glad you caught up on Antifa. You schleps didn't have a clue six months ago.
Now if you could just catch up on the rest of it.
But your pride constrains you.
You often make an ass out of yourself and you're a dick in the process.
So I'm an ass AND a dick. I guess I'm an assdick.
So be it.
Do you not understand that public demonstrations get out the vote?
Are you on methamphetamine and hairon from a dirty needle?
Yes, I freely admit those events were reported. Unfortunately, they were reported exactly as you said:
They got twisted and spun to make it look like something it was not,
But that was MY point, not yours.
And, in your reply, you cleverly omitted all the preceding exchanges we had. It's almost as if you did not want people to see what I was replying to.
You are a propagandist (not necessarily bad), but a dishonest one (necessarily bad).
Ransomnote, understand where you are coming from, but I would not recommend this. Patriots are in control. unless needed of course, it might be that they call us a dire situation.I am sure we will respond. But that’s why we got the CIC in control. besides DC don’t allow gun’s so the 2nd amendment dudes from VA couldn’t lawfully go in with that firepower. just saying.
head fake? not saying.
One more thing. Don’t fire till you can see the devil horns on their heads. :-)
There you go again. Doesn't occur to your arrogant mind at all that there really are people who have been aware of Antifa *decades* before you ever even heard of "Q."
Just stop making an ass of yourself by insulting everyone all the time! Is it really that difficult for you?
Well. lots of if’s I can see happening right now. that’s one. I think Trump has this though.
Yes, I freely admit those events were reported. Unfortunately, they were reported exactly as you said:
But you said this then;
I've been here for those rallies -- "Tea Party" 2009 and "Restoring Honor" 2010. They are great fun and beneficial in many other ways. But they do not change minds, because they do not get reported!
But that was MY point (see above), not yours.
No it was not. You bravely folded MY argument into yours and then claimed it as your own.
You are a propagandist (not necessarily bad), but a dishonest one (necessarily bad).
I just proved that I'm not dishonest. That fact is not in dispute.
And you are either stupid or a liar. Maybe both. Definitely a liar, doh.
And a very poor arguer.
[The secret service can take care of the White House.
Let them burn down the rest of the city. Its just stuff.
None of it is worth putting yourself at risk. My only regret is that Congress is not in session and would be spared the conflagration.]
