Trump supporters plan D.C. rally two days before electoral college votes are cast

Two days after thousands of President Trump’s supporters descended on the nation’s capital, waving Make America Great Again flags and chanting, “Four more years,” in a demonstration to support his refusal to concede an election that he lost, organizers were planning another D.C. rally — this time just before electoral college votes are cast.
Women for America First, a group of conservative women at the center of organizing last week’s “Stop the Steal” rally in Washington, has filed for another protest permit from the National Park Service.
On Dec. 12, according to the permit application, organizers again expect thousands of Trump faithful to gather in downtown D.C. The Proud Boys, a far-right extremist group known for their black-and-yellow garb and endorsement of violence, seemed to confirm on social media they would also be attending. ... The Park Service has not yet granted the group’s request, although permits are not typically issued until the week of an event.
The Saturday rally, scheduled for 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., would bring a crowd of the president’s most ardent supporters to Washington two days before electors from each state and the District meet and vote for their designated candidates.

For all the good it will do them. 
Most people will be getting ready for the holiday season so I really don't think they'll have much of a crowd.
