Suppose They Threw a Protest for Stephen Colbert and (Almost) Nobody Came?

Townhall Media
New Yorkers rose as one this weekend in protest of late-night philosopher king Stephen Colbert being forced off the air (eventually, someday) by Orange Man Literally Hitler™ in his latest crushing of dissent and our democracy.
 

Or perhaps not.

The "We're With Colbert" protest garnered 20 mostly bored-looking protestors — and only briefly. One masked defender of democracy carried a homemade sign that read "Go F*** Yourself" above a Photoshop collage of three different black church choirs. I suppose they were supposed to be singing her catchy slogan in their Sunday best.

So... um... there was that.

Even on social media — where it's basically free for bots to drum up fake-but-passable support for any cause du jour — "We're With Colbert" was a bust. My not-so-brief scroll through X's search results revealed a seemingly endless stream of links to the same New York Post write-up of the non-event, plus the occasional cruel comments from amused Righties.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
