CNS News–The Much-Anticipated ‘God’s Army’ convoy, rallying under former President Donald Trump’s MAGA banner, recently descended on Quemado, Texas, near the southern border. Far from the formidable force of 700,000 as claimed, the convoy turned out to be a modest gathering, echoing a typical Trump rally sans the man himself.
This event, laden with MAGA merchandise and characterized by the absence of the promised border ‘invasion,’ has brought to light the stark gap between the movement’s bluster and its actual impact. Participants like Misty Gregory found the reality at the border contrary to their expectations, suggesting a disconnect between the movement’s rhetoric and the on-ground situation.
This sentiment was echoed by locals in nearby Eagle Pass, who felt the real ‘invasion’ was the disruptive presence of the convoy itself, contradicting the area’s peaceful reputation. The ‘God’s Army’ event serves as a microcosm of the MAGA movement’s broader trajectory since Trump’s presidency – marked by grand promises yet tangible results remain elusive.
