Yesterday in Washington, D.C., many thousands of Trump supporters congregated for a massive march to protest any potential fraud and show support for a fair and honest election.
Thanks to ANTIFA and BLM violence, however, the scene would drastically change over the course of the day.

There were actually several pro-Trump events that occurred simultaneously: Million Maga March, March For Trump, and Stop The Steal. Tens of thousands of supporters showed up bearing all manner of patriotic and pro-Trump paraphernalia, and several people made patriotic speeches.

At one point, a large group even broke out singing The Star-Spangled Banner.
Some mostly peaceful protesters burn cars in the street.
Others sing the national anthem together

Despite an entire day of peaceful and patriotic demonstrations by tens of thousands of people, the media made sure to describe the day in the worst possible terms:
“Attendees and speakers made false allegations of widespread election fraud.”
Various ANTIFA and BLM groups showed up to counter-protest, which led to some scuffles between Trump supporters and ANTIFA/BLM groups.

This is a video I took earlier in the day of protestors at the rally being driven away by the proud boys and the crowd.
Notice that, while there was shouting (and I said a few choice words) there was no violence.
Compare that with what we’re seeing tonight from BLM/Antifa. pic.twitter.com/qt2hOoUvvt

Later in the evening, as most of the pro-Trump marchers had gone home for the day, the scene devolved into what has become typical ANTIFA and BLM mob violence and rioting. CNN reported some 20 arrests from the resulting violence, at least several of whom were members of the ANTIFA and BLM counter protests.
But really, if a picture is worth a thousand words, how many is a video worth? Instead of writing, I’ll just show you what the media is unlikely to let you see.
Here’s how the day started out. Incredibly positive and patriotic.
Look at the size of this crowd down Pennsylvania Ave.
More than a MILLION people showed up to support this President.
Meanwhile Biden can’t fill 36 circles.#MillionMAGAMarch pic.twitter.com/hc95PIm5ci

But counter-protesters were determined to disrupt the peaceful patriotic protests. Much of the pro-Trump crowd was comprised of families. But as ANTIFA/BLM began harassing and attacking families, children, and the elderly, the majority of protesters went home.
