Nobody in KCMO knew Dimbfuck was coming.

I saw it the day before only because they were announcing traffic reroutes.

The protesters didn't know in time to organize a good protest. I guess only about 100 people were there. But Dimbfuck only filled about half the hall he was in. And that was after they moved him to a smaller hall than he was originally supposed to use.

I wonder if this is the new strategy to keep the numbet if protesters diwn?

they were supposed to get out of the way.

We are going to have to learn to do flash protests. If we are only going to get 24 hours notice we need yo be able to move fadt.

about a week ago. Talk of bringing a balloon, etc. Then some, "Come on, people! We need to act!" posts. Then whimpers.

Based on what I've read, it seems like a collectively unconscious decision was made to ignore him.
Apart from the World Series win, it's a hard town to bring together in an impressive way, though I remember a huge and beautiful crowd at Liberty Memorial when Obama campaigned there. Chillbumps remembering.

would have shown up. My friends just found out about it at 9pm the night before. They scrambled and got down there. I think they had to walk a long way from where they could find parking. Parking is always hard downtown.

Good sign: Where Do I Even Begin?

The rally was not until late afternoon at Barney Allis Plaza. I haven't put a lot into figuring this out, but sounds like the organizers got the runaround from police and City Hall. Maybe several hundred people appeared, in clumps.

Biggest takeaway I see is that VFW is a bunch of angry white men who watch Fox. And there are lots of trolls who try to ignite on Indivisible page. Block block block block and then block.
