Hey everyone, I’m in DC today for the “million maga March”, a menagerie of trump supporters, white nationalists, and grifters protesting the perceived theft of the election by Joe Biden. Proud boys are currently getting geared up in the parking lot of the Vienna metro station
My main observation is that I’m unsure how so many people got on the metro without masks on
There are so many fucking people on this bus, the ladies besides are talking ab their opinions on COVID
Proud boys are on the train now, greeted by cheers from everyone else. They are organizing into predetermined “teams” it seems. I’m trying to get a picture of one who’s wearing a “Kyle did nothing wrong” shirt
Here they are throwing up the “ok” sign when one of the women on the train asks for a picture
There is a guy to my left giving a very weird pep talk about how he works night shifts and his girlfriend wouldn’t come with him
This lady flashed a metal telescoping baton at the crowd. The guy who was giving the pep talk earlier is explaining how he saw Barack Obama smoke crack once
Proud Boys got off a stop earlier than I did, there is a massive crowd headed up from the metro station
I’d say every single person I’ve seen so far is wearing some form of trump paraphernalia
Hard to make out but this guy is carrying our first Q flag of the day
This woman is wearing a WWG1WGA shirt
I just audibly said holy shit when I saw the main event
Here’s another shot of the crowd, someone’s speaking but I have absolutely no idea who
Just saw the first Oathkeeper, I shit you not there are some JROTC kids performing the national anthem with Carrie Underwood. The entire crowd is singing along and I feel like I’m having a fever dream
Nick Fuentes and his gang of dipshits are here, they yelled at me
When I asked Nick why he was in Charlottesville he declined to answer, oddly enough
The gang of groypers faded into the crowd, here’s a wider shot of the crowd
Proud boys just had an altercation with someone, I am back in the crowd of insanity
A police line has formed, “All Lives matter” is being chanted at them
This small group of counter protesters have generated quite a bit of anger
I am taking a quick break before the infowars guys arrive
Proud boys are hanging out at this restaurant
Just talked this group of Catholic dudes who are praying for trump to do to a coup. There is a helicopter flying very low but I haven’t been able to get a good look at it
There are so many people that cell service within the event is nonexistent, so I’m having to walk at least a block to tweet stuff. Your patience is appreciated
I think Alex Jones may be here? There are conflicting reports
The group is headed towards the capital, proud boys and patriot prayer at the front surrounding Alex Jones
I’m not gonna be tweeting quite As much now, the proud boys are pissed and unorganized counterprotesters are filtering in
Update-I underestimated how large this event was, I’m in the middle of the March and I can’t see the end in either direction. A lot of tension is building here
I’m back-anti fascists are marching, there has been one major clash, a maga kid got knocked out
Attempted car ramming by a trump supporter just occurred, got out of his car and attacked a marched, I’ll have videos later
