5 vehicles and 6 people. There were more, but some left, probably when Santa said they're not going into DC on 7/4.

I know this doesn't apply to everyone who lives in a rural environment, but for some of these yahoos whose biggest social event is the county fair, they probably can't wrap their heads around the crowds that attend the DC July 4th extravaganza every year. Sounds like (possibly) someone got through to Santa and he's trying to save them the embarrassment of getting hopelessly lost (again), or worse.

The fireworks on the platform, is that their final launching point? In the midst of the camp, next to that tent, and near the highway?

The flyer for this weekend.
I doubt there will be a rally tomorrow.
NO one showed up today, likely because of the weather. Today's info will hammer the group.
Keep an eye out for Anti76rm on Twitter. The page isn't up yet. It will be up soon.

I don't know if I can express this in a way to add to the discussion, but here goes.
I'm a big Buffy the Vampire Slayer fan. There's an early demon-of-the-week episode called _Gingerbread_. Not a great ep but I admire how the particular power of the demon in question was realized in the show. Anyway.
The demon's gig is to gin up chaos and hate (which it feeds on) in the community by making everybody think, via a demon spell, that two children have been murdered and that the murders must be discovered and executed. Cue torches and pitchforks.
All the parents run around town with angry expressions and murderous intent, spouting empty platitudes about "cleaning up our town" and "making the guilty pay" and "standing up for the decent people," etc. Without specifics, because in fact no one has been murdered; the town doesn't even know the names of the children or where they lived (because they don't exist).
I've often thought of this episode of my beloved how as I've watched the vermin MAGA wrecking our country over the past five years. Brain-dead vigilantes spouting gibberish. I mean, at least the crazed parents in Buffy were under a spell, and when the spell was broken, they became rational (y'know) again.
But this group of grifting idiots takes the cake. Around and around they go, becoming less and less clear about what they're doing and why with each day. Just sowing mayhem.
Anyway, I've often though I'd mention this, and now I have. FWIW

That's an excellent comparison.
