The democrat party's main constituency is made up of Hamas terrorists, illegal aliens, and violent criminals.
Karoline Leavitt, United States White House Press Secretary
I encourage you to watch--we call it the hate America Rally--that'll happen Saturday. Let's see who shows up for that. I bet ya see pro-Hamas supporters, I bet you see Antifa-types, I bet ya see the Marxists in full display. The people who don't want to stand and defend the foundational truths of this republic.
United States Representative, Mike Johnson, U.S. Speaker of the House and second in line of Presidential succession.
Well...fuck. I had no idea I have been a lifelong member of such a dangerous terrorist/alien/criminal organization. I will admit I am an anti-fascist, which is what antifa stands for. However, in my defense, I learned to be this way from my father, who fought the bastards in WWII.
Be that as it may, on Saturday, Oct. 18th, 2025 many republicans and MAGA types were predicting an apocalypse of sort to occur all across the land. So much so, Virginia Governor, Glenn Youngkin and Texas Governor, Greg Abbott had units of their respective National Guards at the ready to crack down on the expected violence. (Abbott said he had heard those Antifa-types were planning to run amok in Austin. He didn't say who he heard it from, perhaps not wanting to reveal sensitive intelligence sources.)
Meanwhile, terrorists like myself were receiving texts inviting us to participate in local protests. The texts also explained that in order to take part we had to pledge to obey a few rules about non-violence. One of them being if we did end up in a confrontation with anyone, we were to do all we could, including walk away to de-escalate the situation.
Given the situation much of the nation braced for the worst when Saturday morning arrived. Presumably that included members of the current administration, although one has to think many of them, including the Big Man himself, were probably hoping for scenes of widespread violence. Let's face it, nothing justifies the use of the military to control the populace quite like images of masked marauders looting vandalized stores and firebombing police cars.
Then. even though an estimated seven million people showed up nationwide, the apocalypse remained absent. Over 100,000 protesters marched in New York City and police reported 0 arrests related to the demonstration. Austin cops, despite Governor Abbott's dire premonition, also recorded 0 protester arrests. (Begging the question, was Abbott's source of intel some bored University of Texas sophomore who had downed a couple of Shiner Bocks too many?)
Coverage of the protests showed hundreds, if not thousands of people carrying American flags. Some wore inflated costumes (a fad which began in the allegedly war-ravaged town of Portland, OR) while many sported hand made signs. When marchers were interviewed most spoke of why they were there, their concerns, their fears for the future of their children and grandchildren given the dark direction the nation had taken. The underlying theme was nearly universal. Those seven million souls were in the streets because Donald Trump and his pals are actually the ones, as Speaker Johnson put it, "not standing to defend the foundational truths of this republic."
MAGA internet influencers were so flummoxed they were reduced to whining about all the, "old white people," Ted Cruz went from posting, "Look at this No Kings rally--there's considerable evidence that George Soros and his network is behind funding these rallies which may well turn into riots," to reportedly writing, "LOL. Boomers gonna boom." Others began referring to marchers as members of "Grantifa," taking their cue from tee-shirts a few seniors were wearing.
Donald Trump wasn't in Washington during the protests. He had winged his way to Mar a Lago for a get together with donors. His most noteworthy response was an AI generated video which portrayed him piloting a fighter, ala Tom Cruise in the movie, "Top Gun." Just to make sure we all got the imagery Kenny Loggins' tune, "Danger Zone," blared in the background as the President of the United States dropped a massive payload of liquified feces on No Kings demonstrators marching in city streets below. One internet wag responded to the video by writing, "Donald Trump shitting on American cities. How appropriate."
Tragically, such crude nonsense is what passes for Presidential dignity these days. No wonder Mr. Trump enjoys the reputation he so firmly holds on the world stage.
It is unclear at this time if all that MAGA pre protest fear mongering was an attempt gear up the public for a massive and violent federal crackdown, or a ham-handed attempt to scare potential marchers, especially those brigades of Grantifas, enough to keep them home. Some have speculated people like Leavitt, Johnson, and the rest now exist in a bubble so disconnected from reality they actually believed what they were saying. As one put it, "They've come to believe their own disinformation is the truth."
Who knows? All that is certain right now is, millions showed up, hardly anyone was arrested, (The highest count might have been the 12 busted in Denver.) and rather than an apocalypse the whole day more closely resembled what George Conway called it--a lovefest.
