    I was at this protest:

    Had to make sure I wasn’t in any of the photos after this, because they are very serious about the area being extremely pro Trump. I know of at least 5 permanent Trump signs in the area.

      Always makes me sad to see these stroadside protests that don’t have enough people to shut down the road. You guys deserve better

          You guys need a sustained general strike, Trump and his billionaire backers only care about the bottom line $$. Unfortunately regardless of the size of the peaceful protests, once a month just won’t cut it.

      Hope you stay safe. This was the photo where i thought the people had the most guts to be there. If its really that supportive of your fuckhead in chief, i can’t imagine many friendly onlookers.

      Although, i suppose with the smallest voting bloc being republican, and largest being non-voter, maybe you’d get more disinterested people than outright aggression.

        The reality is that this is an extremely busy intersection. There were more than one diesel truck that attempted (and had some success) to cover people in smoke. I believe the only reason that there wasn’t any real aggression was there being hired security there.
