A Faction of Morons; Hate Group Crashes Providence Rally

Bill Bartholomew 

At The Rally to Resist Marxism this past Saturday on the grounds of the Rhode Island State House, some thirty members of mostly out of state right-wing extremist groups, along with their associates, took to the State House steps to deliver a series of rambling and unprofound statements before dispersing at the order of Rhode Island State Police.

Ahead of the rally, some two hundred and fifty counter-protesters had assembled on the south lawn of the State House, facing a very large riot police presence, including canine units, snippers, and multiple body armor-clad units nearly surrounding the south lawn

Members of the Washington-based right-wing hate group, The Proud Boys; clad in black and yellow polo shirts, MAGA hats and well-known Nazi regalia, assaulted and berated counter-protestors, serving as a self-appointed security force.
All of this occurred under the watch of the police force, who did not intervene.

The Proud Boys each displayed a physique and temperament not unlike an ‘ultra-American’, steroid fueled WWE gimmick; caricatures of idiotic bigots, designed for the entertainment of the lowest common denominator.

The Proud Boys, a faction of morons, who likely could not put forth a single member with the ability to properly spell any three consecutive words, would be a sideshow and an afterthought if not for their dangerous encroachment on a just world.

From violently slapping a female counter-protester, to scuffling with - and then hiding from - onlookers, to posturing as faux-rugged backwoodsman, to excitingly prepping for violent encounters with counter-protesters once the police order to disperse went into effect, The Proud Boys, along with all of the speakers from Saturday’s rally proved to be top-shelf contributors to the fertile environment for disdain that has handed the Oval Office to a widely despised person.

Far from delivering a conservative message, The Proud Boys and their associates from this past Saturday’s rally continued the modern-day undoing of the Republican party, further signaling to voters that they are no longer an opposition party of conservative principles, but rather, a platform for all of the Diet Coke Vince McMahons and middle school gym-class bullies of the world.
