Its a performative protest with some very peculiar attendees. Its happening when Dems are leaning hard on gun control legislation and Republicans are slipping in the polls. Feels like a total OP to me, but it also looks like someone pulled up a group that isn't particularly well-controlled.
Looks like someone was trying to gin up an October Surprise, but they had the misfortune of scheduling the event shortly before a Cat 5 hurricane. So nobody will notice - much less remember - by election day.
Oof, they are also basically finding some common ground with J6ers.EDIT: Never mind, I was confusing Eric Braden (a J6er) with Nick Bezzel (one of the black 2A guys).

Meh.

Where did you see that? The thread looks like they were dismissive of them, at least.
I went back over the tweets and I see I was confused; I mistook Eric Braden as Nick Bezzel.
The "close the borders" stuff is pretty bad, but at least they aren't full-on :brainworms:
