Just returned from the No King's protest in Brazos County, TX [View all]
I was astounded at the turnout! This is a super red county, but we lined both sides of the street for several blocks. Perhaps even more encouraging were the overwhelmingly positive responses we got from the traffic, which was amazingly heavy for a downtown Saturday morning. I am more hopeful than I've been in a long, long time. Of course, it was completely peaceful, with several good citizens providing water, lemonade and even snacks and chairs for those who needed them. The crowd consisted of folks of all adult age groups--I saw no children. I didn't see any camera crews, but noted a couple of drones that surely must have been photographing the crowd size. I can hardly wait to see what the local news has to say about the event! We have a lot of good warriors on our side--I even met with one woman who is a Libertarian. Like she said, when you've lost the Libertarians, you don't stand a chance.
Peace and courage everyone! The momentum is on the side of DEMOCRACY!!!!
