8. Where were "THEY?" You realize don't you that "THEY" are US!!

You do remember the intensity of emotions we ALL went through after that election--one which we really believed Harris-Walz would win, right?

It has only been just short of 5 months since his inauguration. That the intense backlash at his policies has happened THIS quickly is, in itself, rather remarkable (and horrific). But THAT is what is energizing all of us now.

But to assume that NO KINGS participants DID NOT show up to vote last November is quite the stretch. Given there were (estimates) 6-10 million of us on the streets yesterday-- when Harris/Walz received 75,019,230 in the election-- the odds are quite high that most of No Kings participants DID show up last November (along with many others) to vote our ticket.

So, I don't get your point. If it is to suggest those of us (and it is US) who participated yesterday should be denigrated for not doing everything possible to avoid Trump's being elected, I think you are soooo misguided.
