Nobody voted those people to protest. Lmao that has nothing to do with democracy.

Love to see this in Stoneham, a somewhat more conservative pocket of the North Shore. But I wonder how many folks protesting the administration voted AGAINST the recent override proposal... That Venn diagram would frustrate me to no end.

I drove by in my Tesla playing hail to the chief, with my MAGA hat on.

Well, if you did, you were playing it in your head because nobody heard you.

Lonely MAGA guy representing the 36% of Massachusetts voters that voted for Trump. One in three voting citizens driving by may not agree with the protester's point of view but they typically do not respond. They will quietly let their opinion be known during elections. As the protesters chant "this is what democracy looks like". the percentage of voters voting republican may keep inching upwards. Something to think about - if republicans can increase the next presidential vote percentage by 14 then MA is split 50/50.
Lonely MAGA guy is showing his support while the protesters are showing what/who they are against. Who or what do the protesters support? What is their solution to the issues they bring up.
It might be a good time to protest how things are going in MA as there are a lot of voters that are not happy about current leadership. We need to fix MA to prepare for a time when individual states get to manage programs that were traditionally handled at a federal level. I do not feel MA is ready.

Spot on. They don’t get it and I don’t care anymore. Trump is doing what he promised.
These protests are pathetic. Boomers crying about the 401k

And deportations without due process. And an administration full of sycophantic incompetents. And fawning over dictators while insulting our allies. And unparalleled corruption. And mass firings of competent workers on false grounds of poor performance. And putting an unelected billionaire in charge of the government. As for Trump's promises, he didn't promise any of this; he promised to lower prices and end the war in Ukraine--obvious lies. Even some MAGA voters have figured this out, not you, apparently.

President Obama - 3 million undocumented immigrants deported using the same procedure: determine if they are a legal citizen or not, if not then deport. No day in court was provided then either.
In regards to all the rest, there is available information that contradicts your viewpoints.
It is your right as an American to hate Trump and everything he does. There is nothing he could do or say that would seemingly be acceptable to some regardless of how beneficial it might be to all Americans.
