Fascists were taken completely by surprise in FTL. The fascists didn’t see the community defenders coming from the park until they were very close

Reportback from @LukefromDC with Iron Snowflake Video Productions: https://ironsnowflake.blackblogs.org/2022/12/27/fascist-fail-less-than-a-dozen-fascists-protest-ft-lauderdale-drag-queen-christmas-performance/

Chris Nelson was so rattled he got physical — but that was a mistake, drumsticks hurt

So then he went inside, having paid for a ticket. After watching the opening act, he decides to make a disturbance - but @NinaWest (a performer) makes him look like an idiot before parents, building security, and police chase Chris from the property on threat of arrest and worse: https://kolektiva.social/@miaantifanews/109586761796261769

DeSantis then takes Chris' word for it that illegal activity is happening at these shows and threatens the venues with investigation - which has rightfully been ignored by performers and venues alike. The wannabe dictator's election stunts aren't going to stop the show!

But ya, Chris had a rough night being cannon fodder for DeSatan and the American oligarchs trying to build fascist power with transphobia. Maybe that's why he didn't show up in Miami?

Miami, meanwhile, well it got a little a weird. Proud Boys no show to their own rally.

The Christian-fascists who did show were from the “American Society for the Defense of Tradition, Family, and Property”. They were from the same group as the handful of dorks that showed their faces outside the LGBT Center in Orlando on October 29 after it canceled a Drag Queen Story Hour; they had the same banners: https://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/crime/os-ne-drag-story-hour-protest-the-center-20221029-hrlf2rbaunhlxmjkkumhrytyj4-story.html

They tried to pray the show away, looking real weird to everyone. Peep the passerby who hung up his conference call on the way home to join the community defense! Old and decrepit, these geezers went home soon after the show started — we assume that they were running late for their nightly self flagellation or maybe they didn’t like it when community defenders asked if their church had any groomers in it.

That’s two back-to-back victories in South Florida and joins a long list of anti-fascist victories as the tide turns in our favor in Florida! Trans lives matter and our community will make sure of it. The shows shall go on!
