We had over 750 people show up in little Bradenton, with another going on in Sarasota. We lined a major street for nine blocks and the cars going by were far more with us than the few that gave us the finger as they went by.

I live in West Palm Beach. I bought here after Covid and never expected this asshole to win again. I went to the Hands Off protest here which was at the Palm Beach County Court House and the block is big and the crowds were on both sides of the street going all the way around the entire court house. There was at least 1k people or more. They had photographers there so pics will show up. Some of the signs were hilarious. The cops drove by occasionally but didn’t say anything. And it was hot today and people didn’t care. I met some really cool people. There was a big protest 20 min north in Palm Beach Gardens and 20 min south in Boca Raton. I’m ready for the next one. Fuck these motherfuckers.

They are. People are just as pissed as anywhere else. I was waiting for my Uber at the end and I met 2 older former Republicans and he doesn’t like anything that’s going on and as we got into the conversation, he told me in the past 2 days, he lost $400k in his 401k. He volunteered that info.

I stood with a placard for two hours today. Average red Texas town. About 175-200 people showed up to protest.

It was so worth the long drive and metro ride to be among the tens of thousands of seriously pissed off Americans of every age and ethnicity at the Washington Monument today. This was us being “Great Again”.

Fort Collins Colorado had thousands at the rally! The police asked that we stay on the sidewalk, but there was so many of us, they closed/blocked the street so we could march. Cars honking, people wavy signs from their cars. It was important to be a part of this event!

We brought down some thunder here in Chicago! Chicagoans filled the Daley Center Plaza! Its crowds, overflowing down all connecting streets!

We will attend every protest and get others on board!

Our freedoms depend on it!

Benton County WA - strongly GOP - huge turnout for here (1500+) and what seems more important: variety of people protesting is greater than 2017 - so many reasons to rage it is creating a protest version of DEI right in the streets.

And Schumer....READING AGAIN from notes! Absolutely a modicum of "fire" and he is NOT up to the job!!! At least Biden had fire.. this old past his best by date MUST be replaced. If he won't go on his own, remove him by vote. So damn done with him looking down at his fricking notes and speaking in a monotone. UGH!!! Even ol Chucky Grassley doesn't need damn notes to speak. Double ugh on Grassley. Would love to see Duckworth, Klobachar..take lead. ANYBODY!!!

Yes, yes, yes! I've been mentally sorting through superlatives that begin with G to make up my own maga (it's amazing how many really good 'G' words there are) but finally one popped in my and I realized it expressed just what I wanted:

Make America Genuine Again
