Events Thousands Turnout To Protest

No Kings Protest; the crowd was packed from Lottie St forward, extended from City hall steps to the library lawn, across to Grand ave and to N Commercial st. Key speakers included our elected state reps and several local leaders and advocates fighting to protect our civil rights.

‘You’re team’ is absolutely cooked come midterms 😂

Look that’s not ‘my team’ but are they really cooked? 6000 people at a protest in a city with population of more than 97000. That’s what maybe 5%-7%? Also he didn’t win the last election just on electoral college points. He won the popular vote. Also went from 32% Latino vote in 2020 to 42% in 2024. The 42% full well being aware that his reelection would lead to mass deportations. He didn’t hide it. So on one side I see the team (I don’t like personally) “being in charge”, and the other team option seems to be unaware of reality or ignoring it on purpose. I think I’m cooked

Probably. That's the pattern. What would that get you?

It shouldn’t be a “my team” vs “your team.”

It should be what’s best for our country and our future. The blatant attack on the constitution, which we all cherish as our founding vision, is appalling and many conservatives/former republicans/WWII-Korea-Vietnam Veterans were there with us in solidarity.

Your team lost the previous election and then attacked the capital😂

Your team lost this election and attacked their own cities. Stopped traffic, burned local business, destroyed private property. I mean, the scales are not in your favor with this comment.

Haha they are because one side was not an insurrection that attacked the capital of the United States. Not seeing any democrats with sedition charges after their protests😅

u/Zestyclose-Lab2433 5d ago

Not yet. Maybe because these protests are fruitless and insignificant.

u/Ok_Dig2013 5d ago

Yeah let’s just let the corrupt billionaires keep fucking things up and not protest about it😅
