If You Hold a Rally and No One Comes …
4th August 2025
What has happened to Trump Derangement Syndrome? Has there been some new cure discovered or are we just developing herd immunity? Saturday, Aug. 2, was supposed to be the 50x50x1 organization’s ninth day of action in protest of the Trump administration policies. They called it “Rage Against the Regime,” borrowing from the metal band’s name and a word the Left used to revile when it was applied to President Barack Obama’s administration. The event was so poorly attended that posts on the group’s own Facebook page complained about it.
“Hey Folks, we’re [sic] your numbers in attendance for the street rally down today? I’m asking because I’m seeing in our CA Dist 20 there was a low turnout. In more than one place,” wrote a Facebook user calling themselves ‘Anita O Pinion.’ A respondent to their post reported: “Low turnout in Ellensburg WA. I think we need to ask 50501 and Indivisible to coordinate with each other for protests. Don’t need to merge, just coordinate with the protests.” Is that the issue?
It was the same sparse story throughout Virginia.
