SUMMERVILLE, S.C. (WCIV) — Crowds of people in Summerville have begun the first of two 'No Kings' demonstrations in the Charleston area Saturday.
The "No Kings" movement says "millions" will gather around the US on Saturday. The planned protests come amidst an ongoing government shutdown threatening federal workers and services, Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations in Portland, and the Trump administration's flirtations with invoking the Insurrection Act to quash dissent.
I saw some older white men there - otherwise no males over age 10. Looks like a giant "Trump! Stop Hurting My Feelings!" whine rather than an actual protest against any of his King-like actions in office.
a residue of aging boomers who are trying to recreate their brief glory days of protesting in the 60’s and have never moved on since ... the rest of us became doctors, lawyers, engineers, programmers, entrepreneurs, inventors, builders, mechanics, etc. ...
They don’t really know what they’re protesting other than “Orange man bad”.
I expect a similar looking crowd in Fairbanks today. Aging hippies and idiotic college students.
I’m starting think these events are more like pot luck get togethers trying to find other people who might think just like they do.
The crowds of justice warriors for a leftie cause have turned into a tiny group of it’s “Just Us left”?
Here in the Hilton Head area, Bluffton. My invisible, indivisible cat lady neighbor was up and at it early this morning. She rarely comes out of her cave unless there is some kind of protest, or to straighten her faded Ukrainian flag.
Yep.
I’m with you on this one.
It is raining hard right now in the Dallas area.
Then they were at pedo joe's rallies.
It's deja vu all over again!
This is the beauty of he First Amendment. Let them make fools of themselves, take lots of pictures, post their pics, post lots of those pics, and have a good laugh.
Now that is funny - and probably quite accurate.
so what exactly is all this supposed to accomplish??...they still think its the 1960’s. Heres a little myth buster..those protests in the 1960’s NEVER did anything to affect public policy, especially in regards to Vietnam. All it got them was Nixon, wwho crushed the peacenik McGovern. Kent State, Vietnam, etc...all a media created myth.
Agree.
These are the same idiots who fell all over themselves pledging their allegiance to Obama in 2008. They love a king so long as he’s theirs.
There is nothing more pathetic than a crowd of old leftists.
Don’t want a king but I’d be tempted to name Trump king just to spite these people.
This is what I’ve been saying. Look at all the aging hippies. What are the Democrats going to do in 10 years when the Baby Boomer generation is about half its current size? A LOT of their supporters are aging hippie freaks like this.
This is a march for No Kangz, but there’s apparently plenty of geritol there.
Carrollton Texas. More aging hippies
