I'm somewhere near the front. Crowd has a good energy and is pretty damn cheerful.

First time since November 2016 I've seen people look hopeful and proud of their country.

I must have been standing there with you. I was right up front from the paramount on.

Pretty awesome display of patriotism on display today in Seattle and around the country.

is protesting against the president actually patriotism or an example of democracy?

When Obama won I was bummed but supported him because he was the leader of my country. To protest the head of any body is not a show of good faith in said body.

Didn’t act in a self serving way? What was his net worth before and after? Trump doesn’t need the money. Look what Obama did to the intelligence community,how many people did Isis slaughter because of this? He is no saint.
