The Rehearsal The November 14 'Million MAGA March' was a rehearsal for January 6. Trump drove by in his motorcade, waving to supporters who had gathered to protest Biden's victory. This showed Trump that summoning followers to D.C. worked--they would come. Building Momentum This rally was the first mass mobilization of the Stop the Steal movement. It established the template: Trump calls, supporters gather in D.C., energy builds. The December 12 follow-up would turn violent; January 6 would turn deadly. The Logistics Test Organizers learned how to move people to D.C., where to gather, how to coordinate. The infrastructure for January 6 was built in November and December. Each rally was bigger, angrier, and better organized than the last.
