Guys, this isn't some LARP. This is a classic case of a political power struggle and it has happened around the world many times. You have to show your enemies you have the power. Power is all about fear, if they have no fear of you, you lose.
Trump is showing he can call on his supporters whenever he needs them to do whatever is necessary. This is how the power struggle behind closed doors is won. People must fear Trump and the people he commands more than they fear the establishment.
Even if you can't make it on the 6th, don't question his motives. Show your full support so the message gets out. We're getting to the end game and this is not a LARP.
Perhaps you can join a fellow pede for a ride on the back of your truck and share Motel expenses and Gas whatsoever if you come from all the way of Iowa or Montana etc.
