Vendors selling Trump and MAGA merch are setting up around the White House. You know, for that rare soul who didn’t come decked out in it (and has a few bucks to burn).

Meanwhile police, building owners, and shops are putting the finishing touches on securing the city. Anyone paying attention—or remember what happened at the MAGA rallies last month—knows there is a strong possibility of violence in the streets tomorrow.

Some rain starts in places. Dreary sundown hour. A stage has been put up in Freedom Plaza, a block east of the White House. Crowd is pretty fringey; strong militia presence. Program will start shortly.

What program, you ask? Why, the “Rally to Revival,” which features an assortment of right-wing extremists and celebrity conspiracy theorists. Alex Jones, Ali Alexander, Roger Stone, Jack Posobiec, etc. Lauren “Boebart” is confirmed but doesn’t speak. https://www.nps.gov/aboutus/foia/upload/21-0274-Rally-to-Revival-Freedom-Plaza-permit_Redacted.pdf

Things kick off with a moment of tribute for Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio, who was just arrested for a crime committed last month. (Tarrio went from jail to a meeting in a parking garage with Oath Keepers leader Stewart Rhodes. Nature of that conversation not reported.)

The speakers, on the whole, fail to demonstrate any grasp on science (COVID is a recurring theme), international affairs (China = globalists?), or other topics they choose to address. But they’re clear on one thing: Congress needs to be forced to stop Biden’s win.

To the Trump supporters who traveled in for tomorrow’s events, that he had somehow won the election is an article of faith. There are many claims of fraud (but no evidence) to hide this belief behind. This crowd knows the certification is the focal point. It’s why they came NOW.
