Many of Donald Trump’s top dogmatic supporters see a mass protest in Washington, D. C. , on January 6, just two weeks before Inauguration Day 2021, as his last chance to disrupt President-elect Joe Biden’s victory, but for the president himself, it’s just a day to complain.
Two others close to the case say that in recent days, Trump has told his advisers and close collaborators that he must continue to fight in court after January 6 if members of Congress, as expected, certify the results of the electoral college.
“The way he sees things is this: why did I let this happen?. . . How would I benefit? One of the sources said, he spoke protractedly with Trump about post-election activities aimed at reversing his Democratic opponent’s decisive victory.
The president’s precise plans for the January 6 occasions are unclear, and it is not uncommon for him to attend those rallies or demonstrations through enthusiastic tweets, and then prevent first of all. Since last week, Trump has asked some aides and allies what they do. I think they’re smart concepts for him to mark the occasion, like a speech, a review or a recorded video, resources said.
The day deserves to be dramatic. Several House Republicans, as well as Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO), have embarked on a chimeric effort doomed to failure to oppose certification of Election College results. Participants in Wednesday’s demonstration must pressure more Republicans to sign up for the effort: or even literally prevent Democrats from reaching Congress.
“It should block Democrats and [single-name Republicans],” reads in a plan-making graph published in the pro-Trump forum “The Donald,” which shows a map of key Congressional streets that protesters should obstruct. “There are 535 politicians and 3,500 guards. “
On the same day, protesters plan to meet at the northeast corner of the Capitol complex, where they will hear a list of speakers Representative Paul Gosar (R-AZ), Trump Adviser Roger Stone and Representative Marjorie. Taylor Greene (R-AZ) GA), who supported the QAnon conspiracy theory. Trump promoted the protest on Twitter, urging his followers to attend.
“Be there, be wild!” Trump tweeted on December 19.
The White House, the president’s legal team, and Trump crusade spokesmen have commented on the story, but among Trump’s most loyal supporters, the concept that he would continue to fight even after 6 is a no-brainer.
“You can’t give up,” MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell, a best friend of Trump’s who has funded and spoken in various efforts to challenge the 2020 election, told the Daily Beast. “If those other people [around the president] don’t end up getting up, they’re as bad as the other people who tried to dedicate the crime. “
For Lindell, the urge to oppose electoral effects is only a matter of politics, but also of religion.
“God chose Donald Trump for 8 years, not four,” he said, adding that “even if Biden takes office, there is no statute of limitations [on election theft]. Yes, I will continue to investigate this, [even if he has been sworn in], and I will not avoid looking for other Americans to know. “
While others have not spoken in such a theological tone, they have shown no less vigour in encouraging Trump’s challenge to results. In an appearance on an online communication screen, Trump’s former national security director Michael Flynn predicted that millions of others would do so on January 6, Trump’s election defeat attracted tens of thousands of people to Washington at best.
The January 6 demonstration comes after two protests last in Washington in November and December failed to save Trump’s election or stop his campaign’s near-perfect record of judicial defeats, but the temperament of the protesters before the January 6 demonstration was even more desperate.
Supporters of Trump’s hard line across the country organized his Washington vacation at the “The Donald” forum. One of the themes of the site is how protesters can bring weapons to DC, which would be considered a local crime on almost everyone. cases under Washington’s strict gun laws. Others have talked about breaking into federal buildings or committing acts of violence against law enforcement officers who retire to prevent them from storming Congress.
“I think it will be a literal war that day,” says a popular observation published last Wednesday, “where typhoon offices, we will physically kidnap and even kill all D. C. traitors and reclaim the country. “
The November and December rallies in Washington were marked by violence, especially after dark, and that turns out to be the case for the next rally Proud Boys frontman Enrique Tarrio stated in an article on the conservative social network Parler that some Proud Boys dressed in black to disguise themselves as “anti-fashioned” left-wing protesters.
“Beware, on January 6, you probably wouldn’t know who the hell the state is next to you,” said prominent Proud Boy Joe Biggs in a video posted on Talk.
But supporters of the demonstration suffered a setback on Monday when the Harrington Hotel, a budget hotel in the country’s capital, revealed that it would close the protest. The hotel and its bar, Harry’s, have become CENTERS of MAGA activity in the city, even after the bar was fined for violating COVID-19 restrictions after being filled with Trump supporters, but the hotel and bar announced plans to close around the rally, weeks after four other people were stabbed near the bar after a pro-Trump occasion on December 12.
In response, Trump supporters broke online and proposed unrthodox plans to find sleeping options, saying they would camp in parks around the city despite the winter weather.
“May God a venge from the Harrington Hotel,” Ali Alexander, one of Wednesday’s rally organizers, said Monday in a video on Twitter.
