You are white, manly and angry. The “Proud Boys” want Donald Trump (74) to remain president of the United States. The far-right militia will participate in a protest march through Washington DC on Saturday. The name: Million MAGA March.
They want to set an example, they believe that the election was rigged in favor of Joe Biden (77). Donald Trump himself spreads the myth of electoral fraud. For him, voting by mail is the root of all evil.
Due to the crown pandemic, more Americans than ever have voted by mail. A huge logistical effort. Not all votes have been counted.
It is not yet clear how many people will attend the protest march. Trump fans are also calling for a second event called “Stop the Steal” (German: stop the robbery). A clear reference to the alleged electoral fraud. There is no evidence that the election has been rigged. Even if Dan Patrick (70), the lieutenant governor of Texas, has now even offered a great reward for the tracks. Up to a million dollars!
They have caused riots in other demonstrations
Washington DC is getting ready now. Mayor Muriel Bowser, 48, said this week that city officials were aware of the planned demonstrations and assured that authorities “will continue to monitor and prepare for these activities.” One thing is clear: the Proud Boys are not peaceful. They have sparked riots in other demonstrations.
The name of the protest march is not a coincidence, but a reference to the “Million Man March”. In 1995, African Americans took to the streets in Washington DC to protest the complaints. The current event now has a “MAGA” in the title instead of “Man”. Short for Trump’s election slogan “Make America Great Again.”
Take a stand against Trump
Meanwhile, the group “Reject Facism” has registered a counter-protest. “We must not allow the Trump / Pence regime to illegally annul these elections. That is why it is so urgent that people come out on Saturday to say no to Trump, who is still trying to manipulate the election, ”Refuse Fascism’s Andy Zee told Newsweek.
Meanwhile, the votes will continue to be counted. When the results were updated in the individual statements, there were only minor changes in the majority previously foreseeable. Overall, Democratic candidate Joe Biden has been chosen as the winner of the election, with 279 votes for the December election meeting. 270 of these voters are sufficient for the majority. Trump has 217 voters behind him so far. (jmh / SDA)
