Supporters of the president in several cities said they were still convinced that the election was stolen, no matter what the courts say. Some confrontations with counter protesters turned violent.
So here we are. The violence has begun. trump's cultists, refusing to accept the fully legitimate election of President Elect Biden to the presidency in a totally secure and fair election have begun to act out their violent hatred for democracy. trump will never acknowledge defeat and he will continues to lie and spread his conspiracy theories that will keep his ignorant compliant sheeple in tow. For this reason brace for more violence and prepare for much worse. It IS trump's plan and he will not let up. He IS one crazy deranged bastard. That is for certain... And, he has the Proud Boys standing ready.
WASHINGTON — Incensed by a Supreme Court ruling that further dashed President Trump’s hopes of invalidating his November electoral defeat, thousands of his supporters marched in Washington and several state capitals on Saturday to protest what they contended, against all evidence, was a stolen election.
In some places, angry confrontations between protesters and counterprotesters escalated into violence. There were a number of scuffles in the national capital, where four people were stabbed, and the police declared a riot in Olympia, Wash., where one person was shot.
In videos of a clash in Olympia that were posted on social media, a single gunshot can be heard as black-clad counterprotesters move toward members of the pro-Trump group, including one person waving a large Trump flag. After the gunshot, one of the counterprotesters is seen falling to the ground, and others call for help. In one video, a man with a gun can be seen running from the scene and putting on a red hat.

State and federal courts have rejected dozens of lawsuits by Mr. Trump’s allies seeking to challenge the election results, but the pointed refusal by the Supreme Court on Friday to hear a case filed by the attorney general of Texas loomed the largest yet. By foreclosing one of the last legal avenues Mr. Trump had to potentially block Mr. Biden from succeeding him on Inauguration Day, it left many of his partisans casting angrily about for answers.
Trump flags dotted the air above Freedom Plaza in Washington, where demonstrators — including many members of the far-right Proud Boys group — chanted “four more years!” and vowed not to recognize Joseph R. Biden Jr. as the president-elect.

Stephanie Lalich, 55, who traveled from Baltimore to join the protest in Washington, said that voting machines had been used for widespread electoral fraud — a claim that has been proved false — and that judges had not sided with Mr. Trump because they did not want to take on the issue.
“They don’t want to deal with this,” Ms. Lalich said. “It’s going to have to go nuclear, using the Insurrection Act and bringing out the military.”
One of Mr. Trump’s former national security advisers, Michael T. Flynn, whom Mr. Trump pardoned in November, told Trump supporters near the Supreme Court building not to “get bent out of shape” by the latest setback, assuring them that there were still ways to fight back.
“We decide the election,” he said, greeted by cheers. “We’re waging a battle across America.”
Mr. Trump flew over the protesters in Marine One on his way to attend the Army-Navy football game at West Point. Protesters erupted in cheers as the helicopter and its escort passed overhead.
What America is witnessing in real time is a growing acceptance of a ruling cult of personality and the efforts to turn America into a Banana Republic. A place not so much different than every other 3'rd world Banana Republic. And that folks is, and always has been, donald j. trump's desires and his plan. Folks who believe differently are quite simply deluding themselves. Exactly as their Der Leader would have them do.
