That's it.

The MAGA's managed to spend like six months talking about an action, keep up momentum and excitement, share resources to get people to DC, and do what most of them probably never expected to do.

March on DC and physically "take" Congress.

All they needed was a leader to march up to and say, "We're here, what do you want us to do?"

Unfortunately for them, all they got was Trump.

They will all come away from this high as a fucking kite and feeling like the most powerful beings in the universe.

The group will lose energy and the mobs will dissipate but they've shown all sorts of people waiting in the wings just how ready and willing they are to be an army to anybody who wants to lead them.

Some of them are going to be looking for their next fix. We get to see what they do to get it this year.

    It didn't even need to be Trump today. Any Republican politician could've walked out amongst them and taken control of the movement. They just needed some form of authority to lend them legitimacy.

    Goes to show how wide the ideological gap between the base and the elites really is.

      Yup, could have been a Crenshaw or a Cotton or any Tea Partier or Q-anoner. Just anybody willing to take the blame for anything that happens after giving even the slightest push for the crowd to do something.
