The Nationwide Pro-Trump Inauguration Protests Were Pathetic

By Red Painter — January 21, 2021

Is it really a protest if no one comes? Because we were warned for days about nationwide protests planned at state capitals all across the country - and many in law enforcement feared that protestors would be armed.

Welp, that didn't happen. In fact, in some state capitals there were zero protestors at all. But even more pathetic than no protestors was the lone protestor.

For example, this guy came down to the New York state capital expecting to see a large crowd. Sadly, it was just him.

Mark Leggiero is the one lone Trump supporter out in front of the NYS Capitol. He says he expected a few thousand ppl here and is disappointed. He said he drove 45 minutes for a peaceful protest pic.twitter.com/hDtCLYFpLq

Same thing in Sacramento. One guy.

At the State Capitol in Sacramento, a lone Trump supporter wearing a red MAGA hat protested as President Biden took the oath of office Wednesday.

New Hampshire saw a huge crowd - of three.

All quiet at the State House — two protestors out front. A third person was here, but he told press he was leaving to go skiing. #nhprinauguration #nhpolitics #InaugurationDay pic.twitter.com/kxyfJmbg92

Arizona had a huge crowd. About a dozen.

I’m in Phoenix at the Arizona State Capitol for the inauguration. A handful of reporters and one dude in a MAGA hat. There are now two fences plus barbed wire around the Capitol. For now, looks like Trump supporters heeded the call to stay home from local GOP leaders. pic.twitter.com/RfSJ7jYQvJ

Kansas. Two.

Two protestors on the southeast corner of the Kansas Statehouse. One told me he was disappointed so few people showed up. #kakenews #ksleg pic.twitter.com/F2LTpozCOZ

Texas. I count five.

Only a few people outside the Texas Capitol Building in Austin. Thomas Jones (Hawaiian shirt) said he and friends drove from Crockett to protest the Inauguration.
He expected more people to be here, but was banned from Facebook so didn’t know if anything was planned. pic.twitter.com/HuLbUbNnT3

Kentucky. One.

There’s only been one protester outside Capitol in Frankfort today. His sign alludes to how well Hitler and Stalin got along. pic.twitter.com/9HOCIkIx5H

Utah. A few.

A handful of people are outside of the #Utah Capitol. Signs reading “Stop the Lies” and “Armed protest is an act of intimidation” #utpol #utleg pic.twitter.com/2ErNAG2bWP

Zero in Oregon.

Protests never materialized earlier today in Salem, though there was certainly a large police and media presence. pic.twitter.com/bALn4GcKZR

Idaho. Two.

Even in Idaho, on the lower right near the bottom steps you we had two protesters. One is holding a sign that states “Legalize Arson” pic.twitter.com/KbXjL4S3pC

Iowa. One guy on a tractor.

From @polkdems - "You may remember him from the U.S. Capitol grounds during the insurrection. Two weeks later, Gary Leffler is leading a one person parade at the Iowa Capitol today.

Bless his heart." ❤😂 pic.twitter.com/HJBdN7SiaG

I guess the MAGA QAnon crowd really weren't up to it. Low energy.
