Jason Kessler knows how to draw a crowd!

Kessler, seen here preparing for-huh...
is that a MAGA hat I see back there?

Hey, what if you had a Nazi rally and nobody came? That's that Jason Kessler, organizer of today's Unite the Right 2 rally in Washington D.C. discovered. Yeah, Nazi marches have sequels now. Anyway, unsurprisingly, counter protesters outnumbered Kessler's two dozen or so shitheads by like an order of magnitude. Which, I know it's hard to count people in Washington what with all the tarps, but the media is using phrases like dwarfed, and vastly when remarking upon the regular person to Nazi ratio.

Like this time, not only was his group outnumbered, but they were also intimidated into wrapping up early. In fact, the rally was scheduled to begin at 5:30 but they marched, Jason Kessler spoke and the thing wrapped up all before 5:30.

You know, for a racially superior group they sure need a lot of police, many
of whom are people of color, to keep them from getting their asses kicked.

"Why should we have to wait in
traffic? I mean, we're white."

So I guess what I want to know, is what do white supremacists hope to accomplish with these rallies? I mean, realistically, what are they after? Normalization of their fucked up worldview? Tax breaks for caucasians? A special diamond lane for white people? Do they not know that these things aren't going to happen? What outcome are they hoping for other than violence? Kessler had to carry his limp flag around today because the cops confiscated his flag pole because it would absolutely been used to brain someone from one side or the other.

"All we want is to be recognized as
the best race. Is that too much to ask?"

Fortunately, there wasn't a repeat of the violence from Kessler's previous rally in Charlottesville, but since Kessler didn't smack his forehead and and say, 'Sorry everybody, I don't know what I was thinking with this whole white supremacy thing." I think it's safe to say he didn't take the hint either, so I'm sure we'll be hearing about "Unite the Right 3: Even Racist-ier" soon which if this trajectory holds should consist of Jason Kessler, that guy with the MAGA hat and 80,000 counter protesters. 

Yup, the good news is that emboldened as they may be by the Trump administration's unwillingness to call Nazis Nazis, they still can't draw a crowd. Well, that's not true, they can always draw a crowd, it's just a crowd that outnumbers them one hundred to one and calls them out on their racist bullshit. So in many ways, thanks.
