Keep fighting Americans.

Also I love that Star Trek quote.

There was one minutes away from my home in suburban Aurora, CO. For being such an off-central location, turnout was excellent and there was so much support from those driving by! I realized how great those protests outside of downtown are; super convenient (easy to attend and get others to join) and seeing things like that happen in unexpected places, especially the more residential areas, has a little more meaning when you drive by.

My mom lives in a a gated "active adult" community. A small group got out in front of the neighborhood early in the morning, protested for about an hour, then went to Denny's.

The last No Kings protest had a bit of a controversy. Everyone in the neighborhood tools around in golf carts, and a MAGA resident rode hers down to the protest, and ended up deliberately hitting another old lady with her cart, and taking off.

Nobody knew who she was, and by the time they found her, she had moved away.

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.

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.

[-] jawa22@lemmy.blahaj.zone 18 points 10 months ago

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.

[-] Gorgritch_umie_killa@aussie.zone 15 points 10 months ago

Ffs hired security.... glad you all went prepared, but thats such a ridiculous need to have to think about for a protest.

[-] chunes@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago

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

I'm disappointed by the sheer scarcity of Epstein reminders.

[-] synae@lemmy.sdf.org 21 points 10 months ago

I saw plenty of those today in SF

[-] TipRing@lemmy.world 19 points 10 months ago

We were led in a rousing song of "If you're not in the Epstein files clap your hands!"

Starting to think lemmy is starting to be targeted by the maga bot farm and hired instigators.

Reddit is lost. It's all bots now.

So they thought they could follow us here.

Most on here are pretty liberal. So it's not going to work. FOff

Next they will talk about how Hamas is anti lgbtq and the Israeli are actually super wonderful kind people.

I was on vacation and ended up joining the one that was legit outside my hotel. I will have to join the next one in my hometown. My biggest thought was it needs to happen every single week.

[-] Flames5123@sh.itjust.works 9 points 10 months ago

I wish I could’ve gone to this one but I’m oncall. The last one was huge, so I hope this beats those number estimates.

So he's better at one thing than Obama, unifying hate.

[-] zululove@lemmy.ml 6 points 10 months ago

Glad you were safe on X all you see is videos of people from the protest getting attacked by thugs

[-] loldog191@lemmy.ca 7 points 10 months ago

at first read this as "Glad you were safe on ecstasy" and not "Glad you were safe, on Xitter..."

[-] zululove@lemmy.ml 4 points 10 months ago

Oh shit 🤣

[-] dan69@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

I’m glad ppl made it out. And showed their stance. But the worst part is that this will have 10 second less than 25 word coverage on major news outlets
