MAGA Donner Party?

Yesterday, much of the eastern seaboard of the United States was hit by a nor'easter, which is a cold gale, similar to a tropical storm, minus the tropical part.  Here in the NY metro area, there was snow and rain, accompanied by high winds.

In Hagerstown, Maryland, the temperature fell to 17F (-8.3C), with wind chill making it feel like 6F (-14.4C), but the diehard morons in the MAGA convoy remained hunkered down in their temporary lair:

It was a bad day for the People's Convoy out in Hagerstown as they were hit with a few inches of snow and are now worried about getting stuck in the mud around the dirt speed track.

Misinformation researcher CoolFaceJane relayed a somewhat grim account of the scene:

FYI, and I do want to express my concern about the health and safety of people who remain in Hagerstown. I'm still paying attention, and apparently a woman isn't doing well in this cold weather. They are trying to collect donations for her to get a hotel room.

She reported that the organizer of this shitshow addressed his followers this morning, acknowledging their hardship and urging them to continue their struggle, even if it means going home to their own states:

After a day or so without concrete updates, today's Hagerstown meeting begins with multiple sermons and readings. Brian Brase starts off acknowledging the rough conditions attendees faces yesterday, thanking people for helping keep families and children warm during the night. >>

It's supposed to be another frigid night for the Confederate Convoy on Cold-and-Stupid Mountain. It's a miracle that nobody seems to have died up there, and it's appalling that the MD Department of Health and Child Protective Services didn't intervene to make sure that any children in the convoy were cared for. It's not over though, this thing still could degenerate into a MAGA Donner Party.
