MAGA Convoy Contemplates Occupation

In a weird case of déjà vu, the MAGA convoy which rode around the Washington DC Beltway a few months ago is back in Hagerstown, MD, contemplating an incursion into Our Nation's Capital. These weirdos believe they can sneak into the city in the evening, betraying a fundamental lack of understanding of urban realities:

In a nightly meeting this evening, The People's Convoy spoke about quietly ambushing Washington, D.C., and occupying the city tomorrow during the evening hours. (They plan to ride into D.C. with their cameras and radios off.)

In preparation for their invasion, which they oddly refer to as an 'ambush', their leaders are urging 'radio silence', instructing the various video livestreamers to knock it off:

The People's Convoy instructed their Proud Boy and Capitol insurrectionist streamers to stay offline today— they want total radio silence. Considering this violent and fascist convoy has gotten away with multiple shootings, this should be raising major red flags. https://t.co/8f67xZBgJD pic.twitter.com/fQ4gmeoc1x

Because of their ineptitude, they postponed their planned occupation of DC by a day:

- Patriot Mechanic and his wife briefly discussed how the 4pm meeting had been pushed back a day. Getting scared and diverting is par for the course for TPC, so pushing the meeting back isn't out of the question. Neither is blatant dishonesty in any capacity. pic.twitter.com/di5iktnHR7

These people are capable of mischief, and some of them are armed, but I don't think they pose much of a danger to the DC metro area locals because they are a bunch of morons who are constantly squabbling.  It's supposed to hit the 90s in DC for the next three days, which should dissuade them from sticking around too long, especially if the locals are sufficiently riled up.
