Shit, let’s run the numbers:

74,000,000 voters (100%)  
10,000 ‘Stop the Steal’ attendees (.0135%, a 99.986% drop off)  
1,000 (est) broke int9 the Capitol (a 90% drop off from attendee rallies)  
0, zilch, nada, none: spontaneous J6 demonstrations in other cities.

Like I said many times over the years: the idea that masses of people are going to _fight_ for Donald Trump is a fantasy. When he actively organized them, 10,000 people showed up. One out of every 8,000 Trump voters.

That’s a bowel movement, not a mass movement.
