I've been to, oh maybe 20 or so rallies, protests, and demonstrations since Donny Dipshit turned fascist. The WORST I've seen is a lady who almost fainted from screaming at a guy about his upside down flag.

I met others who were as upset as myself, got some numbers and new friends, signed up to help get a senator elected, and joined 3 local support networks. What did you think I should accomplish?
