Hanging with Protesters at Donald Trump's OC Fairgrounds Rally
OC Weekly ^ | Friday, April 29, 2016 | By Gabriel San Roman

Posted on 04/29/2016 7:25:45 AM PDT by Pelham

Donald Trump, the orange spray-tanned Republican presidential candidate, kicked off his California primary campaign yesterday at the Orange County Fairgrounds. Costa Mesa's Pacific Amphitheater seemed like the perfect venue in a county that's right-wing as hell, no? The city, no stranger to anti-immigrant policy at the local level, had to be a good fit for Trump's "build that wall," Mexi-hating mantra, right?

Wrong! Waves of protests rolled out the unwelcome mat for the Donald blocking freeway entrances, taking over an intersection, vandalizing property all while bumping YG and Nipsey Hussle's "FDT (F### Donald Trump)" throughout the day.

At the onset, it seemed like Trump made the right call. As early as 4 p.m., the line of hopefuls trying to get seats for his stump speech stretched far back. Only a handful of protesters gathered at the park across the street from the fairgrounds entrance. "#### you!" Trump supporters yelled at the group when they drove past complete with one-finger salutes from rolled down windows, following with an oh-so-original "Make America great again!"

"Trump's rhetoric is powerful and it's often rooted in hate, xenophobia and misogyny," Dr. Nina Reich told the Weekly from the protest line. The Loyola Marymount University professor of communication studies is also a Costa Mesa resident "It's no accident that he chose Costa Mesa, and his rhetoric of hate resonates with many groups here."

Yeah I guess a female would have had an a at the end. Hardly see that name anymore and it looks more like a girl’s name to me. So I was thinking it was a girl, and yes he writes like a little biotch.

This douche author can go pound sand.

The silent majority is about to boot your ass out of relevancy.

Get a hairnet and check on my fries. If you burn them, I’m gonna send them back.

Gabe....is one of those names that can be either gender. However, for an actual female, it is usually spelled Gabrielle or Gabriella, if you please.

Not sure what this young individual might be considering itself these days.

Wrong! Waves of imported via bus, paid $15 an hour, soros and bernie sponsored illegal alien protester tried to raise hell.

Instead they gave californians and the rest of America a look at what Democrats really are! Rable-rousing America Haters!

Go Trump Go! Note Trump didn’t cancel this one and for good reason and free media of democrats in action!

OC Weekly? Isn’t that one of the “counterculture” genre rags
often found for free at the door of Whole Foods?

Advertising mostly consisting of playbills for clash bands and singles ads...

We need flags lots of Mexican flags best to point out the real sentiments of the demonstrators; Make Mexico First.

They are LA/OC locals. No need to bus them in, they live among us thanks to the refusal by Bush and Obama to deport any of them.

“Not sure what this young individual might be considering itself these days.”

A revolutionary communist in the mold of Che is my guess.
